pure substance
only made up of a single element or compound
you can yest for purity using
melting points
pure substances have specific sharp melting and boiling points
distilation
seperate mixtures that contain liquids.
simple distillation
seperating out a liquid from a solution
simple distilation pratical
1.seawater in distalation flask
2.bottom of condenser on fo a cold tap with rubber tubing
3.heat flask
4.part of solution w lowest boiling point will evaporate
4.wtaer vapour passes thru condenser(back to liquid) n collected in beaker
5.js salt in flask
fractional distalation
seperating mixture of liquids
fractional distalation pratical
1.mixture in flas and attach a fractionalising column and condensed above the flask
2.heat flask-diff liquids w diff boiling poinys so they will evaporate at diff temps
3.liquid w lowest boiling point evaps first
filterisation
seperate insoluble solid from liquid
-product=insoluble liquid
-purification
-filter paper in funnel and pour mixture in it, liwuid part runs theough leaving behind solid
crystalisation
seperates soluble solid from solution
1.pour solution in evaporating dish+gently heat->some water evaporates n solution becomes more coneventrated
2.remove dish when crystal stary to form n cool
3.salt form crystals bc insiluble in cold
4.filter crystals and dry
chromotography mobile phase
when the molecules can move
liquid or gas
solvent
stationary ohase
molecules cabt moce
solid or thick liquid
paper
time molecules spend in each phase delends om
how soluble they are in solvent
how attracted they are in stationary phase
higher solubility=more time in mobile phase->further ip paper
Rf
distance travelled by solute over distance travelled by solvent
surface water
lakes,rivers,reservoirs
ground water
aquifers(rocks that trap water underground)
waste water
water contaminated by human process
filtration
wire mesh screens out large twigs,gravel,sand
sedimentation
iron sulfate or aluminium sulfate added to water->makes fine particles clump together and settle at bottom
chlorintation
chlorine gass bubbled thru to kill harmful bacteria n microbes
distilling sea water
in dry countries
needs loads of energy->expensive
not used in uk
deionisef water
used in chemical analysis
ions taken out eg calcium n copper
so dont intefer w reactions
