Pure substances have…
Specific melting and boiling points
What are formulations?
Mixtures of certain quantities of substance eg paint, fuel, alloys, fertilisers etc.
What does paper chromatography do?
It allows us to separate substances based on their different solubilities
Chromatography paper set up
Draw line in pencil on the paper (stationary phase)- dot of colour goes on the line. Put the paper in a solvent (mobile phase) under the line (not submerging the dots.
What will pure compounds form in paper chromatography
One single spot
What will compounds in a mixture form in paper chromatography
Multiple spots
Why do you draw the line in pencil?
So that the ink doesn’t also move up the page
What is the mobile phase
The solvent (eg water)- moves up by capillary action
What is the stationary phase
The chromatography paper
What is the solvent front in chromatography
The top of the solvent
How to find Rf Values paper chromatography?
distance moved by substance/distance moved by solvent
How to test for hydrogen
We insert a burning splint when the hydrogen gas burns and produces a pop sound
How to test for oxygen
Glowing splint will relight
How to test for carbon dioxide
Bubble through limewater (aqueous calcium hydroxide) and turns cloudy
How to test for chlorine
Insert damp blue litmus paper into the test tube, and bleaches it
What flame does lithium ion produce
Crimson
What flame does sodium ion produce
Yellow
What flame does potassium ion produce
Lilac
What flame does calcium ion produce
Orange-red
What flame does copper ion produce
Green
What colour precipitate do calcium, magnesium and aluminium form when combined with sodium hydroxide
White
How do you work out which white precipitate is aluminium?
Add an excess of NaOH (the aluminium dissolves and the solution goes clear again)
What colour do Cu 2+ ions turn when reacted with sodium hydroxide
Blue- copper (II) hydroxide
What colour do Fe 2+ ions turn when reacted with sodium hydroxide
Green- iron (II) hydroxide
