17
Q

How do you do salt swapover

A

Mix together solutions of two salts and funnel it. The salt that doesnt funnel is a different salt because it is insoluble and the salt that does funnel is different because the acid has been swapped over

18
Q

What is paper chromatography

A

A method for separating liquids from one another

19
Q

Why is chromatography helpful to forensic scientists

A

Helps them find out what pen wrote a note at a crime scene

20
Q

What is used for separating inc using chromatography

A

Filter paper with a dot of inc on it
1 cm of ethanol
The filter paper is putin the ethanol to separate the inc

21
Q

What are the two phases in chromatography

A

Stationary phase and mobile phase

22
Q

What is a mobile phase

A

The liquid or gas that moves materials over stationary phase

23
Q

What is stationary phase

A

The piece of paper in chromatography

24
Q

What do carbonates produce when reacted with acid

A

Carbon dioxide

25
How do u test for a carbonate
Add acid to the salt and bubble has given off through limewater, if the limewater goes cloudy then it is a carbonate
26
How do you test for a chloride
Add some silver nitrate to salt and look for a precipitate
27
What is a precipitate
A solution formed into a solid
28
How do you test for a sulphate
Add some barium nitrate and look for precipitate
29
How do you find out the metal part in a salt
Mix with acid and burn to see what colour the flame is because that tells you what metal it is
30
What does flame tests do
Finds out the metal prt of a salt
31
What does a pH scale do
Easures how strong or weak an acid or alkali is
32
Why is testing pH helpful
It is useful in forensics for comparing and matching samples
33
What does 1 on a pH chart mean
A very strong acid
34
What dies 14 mean on a pH scale
A very strong alkali
35
How do we test the pH of soil samples
Mix soil with water, then filter and add universal indicator to filtrate. Match the colour of the filtrate with the pH chart to find out what it is
36
Why would a country be very likely to produce acid rain
Has very big industries and lots of factories
37
What happens when industries grow
They produce more pollution
38
How does sulphur dioxide get into the rain
Comes out factory chimneys and dissolves into rain
