C1 + C2 states of matter & separating Flashcards
(10 cards)
what is the term for gas turning to liquid
boiling
state the changes in arrangement of particles as something is heated
they become more randomly arranged and separated gradually.
what is a mixture?
mixture:
o Consists of 2 or more elements or compounds not chemically combined
together
o Chemical properties of each substance in the mixture are unchanged
what is distillation used for?
separating different mixtures using boiling points.
what is the difference between simple and fractional distillation?
simple - used with solvents and solutions
fractional - used for two liquids
explain crystallisation
evaporating a solution, solid will come out and crystals will form
used for seperating salts from solutions
whats the difference between solute and solvent?
solute is being dissolved in the solvent
explain paper chromatography
to separate mixtures of soluble substances, like food colorings or inks, by using a solvent to carry them through a piece of paper. Different substances in the mixture move at different speeds, causing them to separate into distinct spots or bands on the paper.
one dot = pure substance
what is the equation for Rf value?
Rf value = distance moved by substance / distance moved by solvent ( /
represents a dividing sign)
what are the roles of sedimentation, filtration and chlorination in water
chlorine = kills bacteria
sedimentation = allowing solids to be removed from the water
filtration = removing solid particles like sediment and microorganisms
