Q

chromatography

A

A method used to separate and identify substances by dissolving them in a solvent and allowing them to be carried by the solvent through a sheet of filter paper. The dissolved solutes are deposited along the sheet of paper according to their solubility and mass.

Q

Fractional distillation

A

A chemical process that describes heating and separating substances by distillation into more useful products (or fractions) based on their boiling points. It is used in the refining of crude oil.

Q

crystallisation

A

A purification method used to obtain solid dissolved in a solution. As the liquid part of the solution cools and becomes denser, there is less space for the solid particles to occupy. These particles are excluded from the liquid and form crystal arrangements on the side of the vessel containing them.
