Q

why do you crystalise slowly at the end

A

the particles will have longer to form an ordered pattern and will make larger crystals

16
Q

what can you use paper chromatography to do

A

-distinguish between a pure and an impure substance (pure substances produce one dot)
-identify a substance by comparing its spots with those of known substances with an rf value

17
Q

explain what happens during paper chromotography

A

The more soluble a compound the faster it travels up the paper The less soluble inks travel slower and therefore seperate

18
Q

in chromatography what are the mobile phase and stationary phase

A

mobile- solvent/water
stationary- chromatography paper

19
Q

what is the equation for rf

A

distance traveled by spot/distance traveled by solvent

20
Q

what is simple distillation used for

A

used to seperate a liquid from solid minerals

21
Q

what is drinking water called

A

potable

22
Q

what must potable water have

A

low levels of contaminating substances
low levels of microbes

23
Q

Explain how water is made potable

A

sedimentation- small insoluble particles sink to the bottom

filtration- insoluble particles are removed by filtering water through bodies of sand and gravel

chlorination- chlorine gas is bubbled through the water to kill microbes which may cause disease
