Q

Write the steps of fractional distillation

A
  1. Heat the solution until pure water evaporates producing a vapour
  2. Vapour passes through the condenser turning into a pure liquid collected in a beaker
  3. Once all water is evaporated only the solid solute is left behind

16
Q

State the steps of filtration

A
  1. A piece of filter paper is placed in a funnel above a beaker
  2. Mixture of insoluble solid and liquid is poured through
  3. Small liquid particles will pass through as filtrate
  4. Solid particles stay behind as residue
17
Q

What is crystallisation used for

A

Separation of a soluble solid from a solution

18
Q

State the steps of crystallisation

A
  1. Solution is heated, solvent evaporates leaving a saturated solution
  2. Leave the saturated solution to cool slowly
  3. Crystals will begin to grow as solids due to decreasing solubility
  4. Rinse with cold water to remove impurities and leave to dry
19
Q

What is chromatography used for

A

The separation of substances with different solubilities in a solvent

20
Q

State the steps of Chromatography

A
  1. Draw a pencil line on chromatography paper placing spots of the sample on it
  2. Lower the paper into solvent container leaving the pencil line above the level
  3. Allow solvent to travel up the paper via capillary action
21
Q

Why should the line in the chromatography practical be drawn with pen

A

Ink may run into the chromatogram along with samples

22
Q

How can you tell the difference between a pure and impure substance based off on a chromatogram

A

Impure substance = more than 1 spot
Pure substance = 1 spot

23
Q

What does Rf value stand for

A

Retention factor

24
Q

What does calculating the Rf value help to do

A

Identify unknown substances

25
Q

What is the equation for Rf values

A

distance travelled by substance ÷ distance travelled by solvent

26
Q

Where does the Rf value lie

A

Between 0 and 1

27
Q

What is a stationary phase

A

contained on the paper and does not move through it

28
Q

What is the mobile phase in chromatography

A

the solvent that moves through the paper carrying different substances with it

29
Q

What are the two parts of investigating the composition of inks practical

A
  1. Simple distillation
  2. Chromatography
30
Q

Investigating Inks: state the steps for simple distillation

A
  1. Add small volume of ink to a flask. Connect the flask to the fractionating column and secure it with a stand, boss and clamp.
  2. Attach condenser to the top of the fractionating column, connect it to a cold water tap and sink, and secure it over a beaker.
  3. Heat the flask using a Bunsen burner reducing the flame as necessary to achieve gentle simmering.
  4. Collect a small sample of the distilled
    solvent
31
Q

Investigating Inks: state the steps for chromatography

A
  1. draw a pencil line across the chromatography paper, 1-2 cm from the bottom
  2. use a pipette or capillary tube to add small spots of each ink to the line on the paper
  3. place the paper into a container with a suitable solvent in the bottom
  4. allow the solvent to move through the paper
  5. allow the chromatogram to dry, then measure the distance travelled by each spot and by the solvent
32
Q

Define the term potable

A

Safe to drink

33
Q

What are the free methods of creating potable water

A
  1. Filtration
  2. Sedimentation
  3. Chlorination
34
Q

Describe the process of filtration for potable water

A

clear water passes through filters that have different pore sizes and are made of different materials

35
Q

Describe the process of sedimentation

A

large insoluble particles clumped by iron/aluminium sulphate will sink to the bottom of the water

36
Q

Describe the process of chlorination

A

chlorine gas is put through water to kill microbes

37
Q

How can seawater be made potable via distillation

A
  1. filter the seawater
  2. boil it
  3. water vapour is cooled and condensed
38
Q

What are 2 negatives of using distillation to curate potable water

A
  1. process is expensive as a lot of energy is required
  2. Wastewater produced is toxic due to high concentration of salts
39
Q

Why must water used in analyses be pure

A

any dissolved salts could react with the substances you are analysing, leaving a false result
