(15 cards)
What does filtration separate
An insoluble solid from a liquid
What does the solution go through in Filtration
It goes through a filter paper and a funnel
Where does the residue stay in filtration
It stays in the filter paper
What is the filtrate
What passes through the filter paper
What does evaporation separate
A soluble solid from a liquid
What happens to the solid in evaporation
It crystallises
What does distillation separate
Any solvent and solute from any solution
True or false: In filtration you keep the solute and the solvent
True
True or false: In evaporation you keep the solute and the solvent
False
True or false: In distillation you keep the solute and the solvent
True
True or false: In chromatography you keep the solvent and the solution
True
In distillation what is the role of the condenser and how does it do it
To change gas from the evaporation back into liquid by bringing it into contact with a cold surface
In distillation what is the temperature that you have to heat up the beaker to
The boiling point of the solvent, or the substance with the lowest boiling point
What is chromatography used to separate and based off what
Solvents and solutes based on their solubility in water or ethanol
What happens to the different substances in mixtures in chromatography
They are carried different distances up the filter paper by the solvent
