1
Q
What is a pure substance ?
A
-A pure substance is not mixed with any other substance , it only contains a single elemnt or single compound .
2
Q
What is the simplest way to determine if a substance is pure ?
A
-Measure its melting point and boiling point .
3
Q
When does a pure substance melt and boil ?
A
-A pure substance melts at a specific fixed temperature . -A pure substance also has a specific fixed boiling point .
4
Q
When do Impure substances melt and poil ?
A
-Impure substances melt and boil over a range of temperatures .
5
Q
What does graph one show ?
A
THe melting and boiling of water (an example of a PURE substance ) .
6
Q
Stage one of graph one ?
A
-We start with ice and are gradually increasing the temperature .
7
Q
What happens at star one ?
A
-At a certain point the temperature STOPS RISING .
-This is the MELTING POINT .
(In the case of water this is FIXED at 0 degrees . )
8
Q
What happens at star two ?
A
-Once the water has melted , the TEMPERATURE RISES AGAIN , and at a certin point , the temperature stops rising , this is the boiling point .
-(The boiling point in the case of water is FIXED at 100 degrees .)
9
Q
So how do we know water is pure ?
A
-Because both the melting and the boiling points are at specific fixed tempertures , we know thais water is PURE .

Q
How does paper chromatogrpahy do ?
A
Allows us to separate substances based on their dffierent solubilities .
24
Q
first stage of papepr chromatogrpahy
A
take a piece of chromatography paper .
-draw a pencil lne near th botom .
25
second stage of paper chromatogrpahy .
-put dots of our colours (substance) on a pencil line .
26
third stage of paper chromatogrpahy .
now put paper into solvent
(a liquid that will dissolve substances ).
27
fourth stage of paper chromatogrpahy
The solvent now makes it way up the paper and dissolves the ink and coloured dots , which are also carried by the paper .
28
Why is paper in chromatography called stationary phase and the solven called mobile phase ?
Paper called stationary pahse as it does not move .
SOlvent called mobile pahse as it moves .
29
A pure compound ...
will produce a sinlge spot in all solvent ,
30
a compound in a mixture (mixture of colours )
may sepearate into a different spots depending on the solvent .
31
More soluble substances...
travel further up the paper .
32
Why do we draw the starting line un pencil
As if we draw the line in pen , the pen ink would also move up with the solvent effecting the results
33
How to figure out unknown substance using chromatogrpahy .
-normal process of chromtogrpahy ,
measure the distance mvoed by the unkwon chemical (distance from pencil line to center of dot.)
-Measure the distancce moved by solvent .
Calcualtre rf calue distance moved by substance / distanced moved by solvent .
no untis .
look up in data base to find substance ,.
34
Rf value facts .
Several substacnes may have the same Rf calue , some may need to be repeated using a diffeent solvent .
If a substance has never been analysed before m ti willl have no rf value .
DISTANCE TRAVELLED BY SAMPLE/ DISTANCE TRAVELLED BY SOLVENT .
-this value is less than zero
-has no units
35

39
fourth stage of paper chromatogrpahy rp ?
now pour water into beaker depth of 1cm water in this case solvent .
40
fifthstage of paper chromatogrpahy rp ?
attach a glass rod using tape and lower paper into a glass beaker ,bottom of paper should dip into water .
41
pencil line with psots must be above the surface of water why ?
or water will wash off the line .
42
the sides of the paper must not touch side walls why >
or it will interfere with the way water move s.
-Put a lid on beaker , to reudce the amount of evaporation of he solven t .
43
sixth stage of paper chromatogrpahy rp ?
at this stage water moeves up paper and colours are carried with it
remove paper when water travleld three quarters up it ,
-use a pencil to mark point how far water
44
where are the unkwon colours ..
the spots that line up with the unknown colour is unkown colour .
45
explain y referring to sgtationary and mobile phases , why samples mov ar different speed in an experimetn .
-The forces of attraction between the mobile phase and staitonary pahse depend on the pseeds they travel up the chromatogrpahy paper .
-A substance with stronger forces of attraction between itself and the mobile pahse than between itself and the stationary phase will be carried a greater distace in a givwn time .

-This is espeically true if there is only a low concentration of the metal compound .
87
What is another problem with flame tests ?
2.Sometimes a sample contains a mixture of metal ions , which can mask the colour fo the flames .
88
What is the solution for problem 2 ?

3.The spectroscope converts the line into line spectrum .
93
S4 FOR FLAME EMMISON SPECTROSCOPY .
-We can use this to indentify ,the metal ion in the sample .
94
What can flame emission spectroscopy also tell ?
-Flame emision spectroscopy can also tell us the concentration of the metal ion .
-Lines become MORE INTENSE at a higher concentrations .
95
Flame emission spectroscopyy is an example of an INSTRUMENTAL METHOD (carried out by a machine )
.
96
One advanatge of instrumental methods :
-ThEY ARE RAPID , WE COULD USE FLAME EMISISON SPECTROSOCPY TO ANALYSE SAMPLES MORE RAPIDLY THAN WE COULD USING FLAME TESTS .
97
Another advanatge of instrumental methods :
-instrumental methods are senstiive , Flame emission spectroscopy will work even on TINY samples of metal compounds .
98
Final advanatge of instrumental methods .
-Instrumental methods are accurate , flame emission spectroscopy is more likely to identify a metal ion correctly than using a flame tests.
99
How else can we test for cetrian metal ions ?
-using their reaction with (soidum hydroxide solution (NaOh).
100
What will happen if we add Soium hydroixde to Calcium (Ca2+) , Magnesium (Mg2+) , and aluminium ions 9Al3+).
-They ll produe a white precipitate .
PROBLEM --> we cannot distinguish between these three tests becuse they all produce a white precipitate .
101
How can we tell which one is aluminium ?
How do we tell which one is calcium ?
-If we add EXCESS sodium hydroixde solution , then the aluminum precipate REDISSOLVES , allowing us to tell which one is aluminium .
-We can tell which one is calcium by doign a flame test .

112
Explain why metal ions heated i na flame emit light energy and how this can be used to identify metal ions .
--The sample is heated in a flame .
-The energy provided , excites the metal ions , making them jumo into higher energy levels .
-when they gall back to lwoer energy levels , the energy is reeleased as light energy .
113
In a spectrometer ...
The wavelengths of rthe light producd can be analysed by passing it thorugh a spectroscope ..
-Each type of metal ion absorbs and gives out its own characteristic of radiation AKa LINE SPECTRUM
-This can be used to identify gthe emtal ions by comparing it to a databse held on a computer .
