Thursday Flashcards
Atoms
Number of protons are equal to the number of electrons
Isotopes
Isotopes are the same except for extra neutrons
Compounds
Atoms join together to make compounds
Mixtures
Mixtures are easily separated, not like compounds
Filtration
Filtration separates insoluble solids from liquids
How to separate soluble solids from solutions.1
Evaporation (heating the solution, crystals will form)
How to separate soluble solids from solutions.2
Crystallisation (only evaporate some of the solution, leave to cool, filter and leave in a warm place to dry)
Distillation
Simple distillation is used for separating out a liquid from a solution
Simple Distillation
Con -
You can only use it to separate things with very different boiling points
Distillation
Fractional distillation is used to separate a mixture of liquids
Endothermic and exothermic
Exothermic = heat given out
Endothermic = heat is taken in
Electrolysis
Electrolysis means ‘splitting up with electricity’
Electrolysis
Electrolysis of molten ionic solids forms elements
Electrolysis
Metals can be extracted from their ores using electrolysis
Redox
Oil Rig (oxidation is loss, reduction is gain)
