Chemical Analysis Flashcards
(45 cards)
Pure means
Only contains one type of element or compound
Pure substances can
Melt and solidify at one temperature- melting point
Boil and condense at one temperature- boiling point
Impure substance are
Mixtures
Impure substances dont
Melt and boil at one temperature
They change state over a range of temperatures
Formulations are
Mixtures that have been carefully designed to have specific properties
Complex mixtures in which each chemical has a particular purpose
The components are carefully controlled
Phases of chromatography
Stationary phase does not move
Mobile phase does move
Stationary phase is
Absorbent paper
Oh
Mobile phase is the
Solvent which is usually the water
Chromatography separates
Mixtures into the constituent components
R value =
Distance moved by substance /
Distance moved by solvent
Properties of hydrogen
Colourless gas combines violently with oxygen when ignited
hydrogen test
When mixed with air burns with the squeaky pop
properties of chlorine
A greens Poisonous gas that bleaches dies
Chlorine test
Turns damp litmus paper white
Properties of oxygen
Colourless gas that helps fuels burn more readily than in air
oxygen test
Relights a glowing splint
Carbon dioxide properties
Colourless gas
Carbon dioxide test
When bubbles through limewater turns the lime water cloudy
Standard laboratory equipment can be used to
Detect and identify elements and compounds
However new highly accurate instrument can analyse and identify substances more effectively
Flame emission spectroscopy
Very useful instrumental method
Used to analyse solutions that contain metal ions
A sample Is put in a flame and the light is passed through a spectroscope
This produces a line spectrum
A line spectrum can be used to
Identify the metal ion
Measure the concentration of the ion
Flame tests identify
Metal ions- cations
Copper flame
Green
Calcium flame
