Q

Describe the three step process of a solid turning to a liquid

A

1) solid is heated, particles gain more energy
2) this makes particles vibrate more, weakening forces holding solid together. This makes solid expand
3) at a certain temperature, particles have enough energy to break free from positions. This is called melting.

Q

The table below gives Informatik about the Properties of four different substances, predict the state of substance D at 1000*C

Substance | melting point/*C | Boiling point/*C
A | -218.4 | -183.0
B | 1535 | 2750
C | 1410 | 2355
D | 801 | 1413
A

1) the meltiNg point of D is 801C and it’s boiling point is 1413C
2) that means it’s a solid below 801C, a gas abode 1413C, and a liquid in between
3) 1000C is between 801C and 1413C, so D is a liquid at 1000C

They are incredibly specific and sharp

35
Q

How can we test for purity of a substance?

A

Compare actual melting point of a sample to the expected value

36
Q

How do mixtures melt?

A

Gradually over a range of temperatures

37
Q

What can we use to measure melting point of a substance? How does it work?

A

Melting point apparatus allows us to heat a small sample of a solid gehe slowly, so we can observe and record exact temperature it melts at

38
Q

Adil’s teacher gives him samples of four powdered solids, labelled A, B, C and D. He used melting point apparatus to determine the melting point of each of the solids. Adil’s results are shown in the table below.

Solid | A | B | C | D
Melting point (*C) | 82 | 72-79 | 101 | 63

Which of the four solids, A, B, C, or D, was a mixture?

A

B - Adil’s results show that solid B must be a mixture because it melted over a range of temperatures

39
Q

What is simple distillation used to do?

A

To separate a liquid from a solution

40
Q

Describe 5 steps of using simple distillation to get pure water from seawater

A

1) pour sample of seawater into distillation flask
2) connect bottom end of condenser to to a cold tap using rubber tubing, run cold water through condenser to keep cool
3) gradually heat distillation flask. Part of mixture with lowest boiling point (water here) will evaporate
4) water vapour passes to condenser where it cools + condenses. Flows to beaker, where it’s collected.
5) salt will be left in flask

41
Q

Draw a diagram showing apparatus set up for simple distillation

A

Page 100 of GCSE combined science textbook

42
Q

What is the problem with simple distillation?

A

Can only separate things with very different boiling points, won’t work with a mixture of different liquids with similar boiling points.

43
Q

A liquid you’re heating in simple distillation is flammable, how do we heat it?

A

No Bunsen burner, use electric heater or water bath to heat it

44
Q

What is fractional distillation used for?

A

Separating a mixture of liquids

45
Q

Give Five steps of a lab demonstration used to model fractional distillation of crude oil at a refinery

A

1) put mixture in a flask. Attach fractionating column and condenser above flask
2) gradually heat flask. Different liquids will have different boiling points, will evaporate at different temps
3) liquid with lowest boiling point evaporates first. When temp on thermometer matches boiling point of this liquid, it has reached top of column
4) liquids with higher boiling temps may evaporate, but will condense in cooler area of column, running back down to flask
5) when first liquid has been collected, raise temperate until next one r aches the top

Q

What is filtration used for?

A

Separating an insoluble solid/solid impurities from a liquid reaction mixture

50
Q

Describe the process of filtration

A

Put filter paper into a funnel and pour mixture into it. The liquid part of the mixture runs through paper, leaving behind the solid residue.

51
Q

What is crystallisation used for?

A

Separating a soluble solid from a solution

52
Q

Give the four steps of crystallisation?

A

1) pour solution into an evaporating dish and gently heat the solution. Some Agee will evaporate, so solution gets more concentrated
2) when crystals start to form (point of crystallisation ) remove dish from heat and leave to cool
3) salt should form crystals as it becomes insoluble in cold, highly concentrated solution
4) filter crystals out of solution, leave them to dry.

53
Q

A mixture is composed of two substances, X and Y. Substance X is a liquid a room temperature, has a melting point of 5C and a boiling point of 60C. Substance Y is a solid at room temperature. It has a melting point of 745C and a boiling point of 1218C. Substance Y dissolves completely in substance X.

Suggest a purification method you could use to obtain a) A pure sample of substance X and b) A pure sample of substance Y

A

A) to her X on its own, you need to distil it from the solution. You can use simple distillation here as there’s only one liquid in the solution.
You could obtain a pure sample of substance X using simple distillation.
b) to get a soluble solid out of a solution, you should use crystallisation.
You could obtain a pure sample of substance Y using crystallisation

54
Q

What is the purpose of chromatography?

A

Separating a mixture of soluble substances and identifying them

55
Q

What are the two phases of chromatography?

A

A mobile phase and a stationary phase

56
Q

In chromatography, what is the mobile phase?

A

Where molecules can move. This is always a liquid or gas.

57
Q

In chromatography, what is the stationary phase?

A

Where molecules can’t move. This can be solid or a really thick liquid

58
Q

As mobile phase moves of stationary phase in chromatography, what happens? Why?

A

Components in mixture separate out, they all end up in different places in stationary phase. This is because each of the chemicals in a mixture will pend different amounts of time dissolved in the mobile phase and stuck to the stationary phase.

59
Q

What does how fast chemicAls move through the stationary phase ( in chromatography) depend on?

A

How it ‘distributes’ itself between the two phases

60
Q

In paper chromatography, what is the stationary phase and what is the mobile phase?

A

Stationary = piece of filter paper

Mobile phase = solvent (e.g. Water, ethanol)

61
Q

Give the 6 steps of paper chromatography

A

1) draw baseline near bottom of paper in pencil (pencil is Insoluble) put Spot of mixture to be separated on this line
2) Put some solvent into beaker. Dip bottom of paper (not spot!) in solvent
3) put watch glass on top of beaker to stop any solvent evaporating
4) solvent will move up paper. Chemicals in mixture dissolve in solvent, and move up paper too
5) different chemicals in the sample separate out, forming sports at different places on paper (an insoluble component won’t move from baseline)
6) remove paper from beaker before solvent reaches top. Mark distance solvent has moved (solvent front) in pencil

62
Q

What two things does the amount of time the molecules spend in each phase ( in chromatography) depend on?

A

How soluble they Are in solvent

How attracted they are to stationary phase

63
Q

In chromatography, a substance is insoluble in a solvent. What do you do to separate the components?

A

Rerun the experiment with same mixture with a different solvent

64
Q

What can we say about how much time molecules with a higher solubility in the solvent) and which are less attracted to paper) will spend in each phase ( in chromatography) and what this means?

A

They’ll spend more time in mobile phase than stationary phase, so will be carried further up paper

65
Q

In chromatography, where is the point of origin?

A

On the baseline

66
Q

Why is chromatography useful?

A

Allows us to calculate Rf values for each chemical

67
Q

What is the piece of paper you end up with in photography called?

A

Chromatogram

68
Q

What do you do if you have chemicals in your mixture that are colourless? (In chromatography)

A

Spray chromatogram with a chemical called a locating Agent (shows where the spots are)

69
Q

What is an Rf value?

A

The ratio between the distance travelled by the dissolved substance (solute) and the distance travelled by the solvent

70
Q

What’s the formula for finding Rf values?

A

Rf = distance travelled by solute / distance travelled by solvent

71
Q

How do you find the distance travelled by the solute, using the chromatogram

A

Measure from the baseline to the centre of the spot

72
Q

How can chromatography be used to see if a certain substance is present in a mixture?

A

Run a pure sample (Standard Reference Material) of a substance that you think is in your mixture alongside a sample of the mixture itself. If it has the same Rf value as one of the spots, they’re likely the same.

73
Q

What a pure samples ran for comparison in chromatography called?

A

Standard Reference Materials (SRMs)

74
Q

How do we use chromatography to do a purity tesT?

A

Pure substance won’t be separated by chromatography - it’ll move as one blob, as opposed to multiple blobs of a mixture

75
Q

Give the five steps of using a mixture of simple distillation and chromatography to analyse the composition of an ink

A

1) ink is a mixture of different dyes dissolved in solvent
2) to work out what solvent ink contains, do simple distillation. It allows you to evaporate off solvent and collect it - assuming solvent has lowest boiling point of everything in ink, it will evaporate first
3) thermometer will read boiling point of solvent while it’s evaporating. Use this boiling pour to determine what it is. E.g. 100*C = probably water
4) carry out paper chromatography on sample of ink - this will separate different dyes in ink, we can see how many there are
5) compare Rf values of different spots on chromatogram to reference values (or run further chromatography tests with pure substances) to work out what dyes are in ink

76
Q

What do we call water that is fit to drink?

A

Potable water

77
Q

What are the three places we can get water which can be purified?

A

Surface water: lakes, rivers, reservoirs
Ground water: from aquifers (rocks that trap water underground)
Waste water: contaminated by human process, can be treated

78
Q

What does the treat-ability of water depend on?

A

How much purification is needed depends on the source. Ground water is usually quite pure, waste and surface water needs a lot of treatment

79
Q

Give the three steps of water treatment process. Describe them.

A

1) filtration: a wire mesh screens out large twigs etc and then gravel and sand beds filter out any other solid bits
2) sedimentation: iron Sulfate or aluminium Sulfate is added to the water, which makes fine particles clump together and settle at the bottom.
3) chlorination: chlorine gas is bubbled through to kill harmful bacteria and other microbes

80
Q

Why is distilling sea water not commonly used in the U.K.?

A

It requires lots of energy so is really expensive

81
Q

When should you use deionised water?

A

For experiments that involve mixing or dissolving something in water

82
Q

What is deionised water?

A

Wate that has had ions (such as calcium, iron and copper ions) present in normal tap water removed

83
Q

Why do we not use normal water in experiments?

A

It can interfere with reactions and give us a false result
