Q

What is a chromatogram?

A

18
Q

What does Rf stand for?

A

Retention Factor

19
Q

How do you calculate the Rf value?

A

Distance travelled by solute
——————————————
Distance travelled by solvent

(Note: must be less than 1)

20
Q

What is the difference between simple and fractional distillation?

A

Simple distillation can only separate 2 fractions and fractional distillation can separate multiple

21
Q

What is the process of distilling crude oil?

A
  1. Crude oil is heated until it turns into a gas
  2. The vaporised crude oil travels into the fractioning column
  3. The fractioning column is cool at the top and hot at the bottom
  4. The fraction with the lowest boiling point condenses into a liquid first and is siphoned off.
22
Q

What does ‘making water potable’ mean?

A

Making water safe to drink

23
Q

Where does the UK get the majority of our drinking water from?

A

Rainfall

24
Q

Where do countries with little rainfall get their drinking water from?

A

Desalination

25
Q

What are the 3 stages of making water potable?

A
  1. Filtration
  2. Sedimentation ( microscopic, insoluble particles)
  3. Chlorination (kills microorganisms, like bacteria and fungi)
26
Q

What are the 3 steps of making water potable?

A
  1. Filter substances that are insoluble through sand and gravel
  2. The large insoluble particles sink to the bottom and are clumped together
  3. Chlorine (or ozone or UV light) is added to water to kill bacteria
27
Q

What are some disadvantages of desalination?

A

-Expensive
-Simple distillation
-Uses fossil fuels to heat up sea water constantly

28
Q

Filtration

A

A way of separating a solvent and an insoluble solid

29
Q

Fractional distillation

A

Used to separate individual liquids from a mixture

30
Q

Simple distillation

A

Separates a solvent from a solution

31
Q

Evaporation/ crystallisation

A

A way of separating soluble solutes from a liquid, due to different boiling points

32
Q

Chromatography

A

A way to separate a mixture of soluble substances
