- chromatography
26
chromatography - seperate dyes in and ink
1. draw line near bottom of a sheet of filter paper (pencil insolube wont dissolve in solvent)
2. add spot of ink to line and place sheet in beaker of solvent
3. make sure ink isnt touching the solvent
4. place lid ontop of beaker stop solvent evaporating
5. solvent seeps up paper carrying ink
6. different dye moves up at different rates seperating out forming spots
7. insoluble dyes stay on baseline
8. solvent reaches top of paper take out beaker and dry
9. result is chromatogram
27
what methods can you use to seperate soluble solids from solutions?
- evaporation
- crystallisation
28
evaporation as a seperation technique?
1. pour solution into evaporating dish
2. slowly heat so solvent will evaporate, solution gets more concentrated
3. keep heating until dry crystals are left
29
when can you not use evaporation?
-soluble solid doesnt decompose when heated
30
crystallisation as a seperation technique
1. pour solution into evaporating dish and gently heat
2. once some solvent has evaporated or crystals start to form remove dish from heat and leave to cool
3. salt should start to form crystals as it becomes insoluble in cold, highly concentrated solutions
4. filter crystals leave them in warm place to dry
31
what can you use to dry crystals in crystallisation?
- warming oven
- desiccator
32
how can filtration and crystallisation be used to seperate rock salt?
1. grind mixture so salt crystals are small enough to dissolve
2. stir mixture in water so salt will dissolve not sand
3. filter and there will be residue of sand
4. evaporate water from salt to form dry crystals
5. remove dish from heat and leave to cool
6. salt should start to form crystals as it becomes insoluble in cold, highly concentrated solutions
7. filter crystals leave them in warm place to dry
33
what is simple distillation used for?
-seperate liquid from solution
34
how to do simple distillation?
1. solution is heated so part which has lowest boiling point evaporates first
2. vapour cools, condenses and is collected
3. rest of solution left in flask
35
what can you use simple distillation for?
- get pure water from seawater
- water evaporates, condenses and is collected
- salt left in flask
36
a disadvantage of pure distillation?
- only use to seperate things with very different boiling points
- is temp passes the boiling point of the substance with the highest they'll mix again
37
what is fractional distillation used for?
-seperate a mixture of liquids
38
how to do fractional distillation of crude oil in a lab?
1. put mixture into flask and stick fractionating column on top then heat it
2. different liquids have different boiling points so they'll evaporate at different temp
3. liquid with lowest boiling point evaporates first as it reaches the top of the column
4. liquids with higher boiling points rises but condenses back into the flask as the top is cooler
5. when first liquid is collected raise temp until next one reaches top
39
what did John Dalton describe atoms as?
- start of 19th century
- solid spheres
- made up different elements
40
how did JJ Thomson prove John Dalton wrong?
- 1897
- 'plum pudding model' theory
- measurements of charge and mass
- shows atoms contain electrons
41
what does the 'plum pudding model' show?
- atom as ball of positive charge
- with electrons stuck in it
42
how did Rutherford show that the 'plum pudding model' was wrong?
- 1909 alpha particle scattering experiments
- fired positively charged alpha particles at thin sheet of gold
- expected particles pass straight through or defect slightly
- positive charge of each atom thought to be very spread out through 'pudding' of atom
- some went straight through or deflected more than expected or deflected backwards
43
Rutherford came up with the nuclear model of the atom
- tiny, positively-charged nucleus at centre
- most mass concentrated
- 'cloud' of negative electrons surrounds nucleus
- most atom empty space
- alpha particles deflect when near concentrated, positive charge of nucleus
- otherwise pass through empty space
44
Bohr's nuclear model
- electrons orbit nucleus in fixed shells
- with fixed distance from nucleus
45
how did Rutherford show the existence of protons?
- nucleus can divide into smaller particles
- each have same charge as hydrogen nucleus
- protons
46
who discovered the existence of neutrons?
-James Chadwick
47
how were elements first organised?
-in order of relative atomic mass
48
Mendeleev developed the first modern periodic table
- organised elements in increasing atomic mass
- switch order of specific elements fit pattern of others in same group
- predicted properties of undiscovered elements based on those in same group
- left gaps for these elements
49
how is the modern periodic table laid out?
-in order of increasing atomic number

what are the properties of Group 0 (noble gases)?
- colourless gases at room temp

70
what is the trend of the noble gases?
- boiling point increases as you go down the group
- due to increase in no. of electrons in each atom
- leading to greater intermolecular forces between them
