#1
Front (Question)

What is a pure substance (chem)

Back (Answer)

• A substance made up of • a single element or compound

#2
Front (Question)

b.m.p of pure vs impure substance

Back (Answer)

• A pure substance has one very specific m.b.p temperature • An impure substance changes state at a range of tempratures

#3
Front (Question)

What is a pure substance (everyday)

Back (Answer)

• A substance that has had nothing added to it • in its “natural state”

#4
Front (Question)

What is an element

Back (Answer)

only one type of atom

#5
Front (Question)

What is compound

Back (Answer)

• Two or more • different • elements/atoms chemically bonded

#6
Front (Question)

What is an atom

Back (Answer)

Single particle of an element

#7
Front (Question)

What is a molecule

Back (Answer)

• Two or more atoms • same or different • Chemically bonded

#8
Front (Question)

What is amixture

Back (Answer)

• different particles • not chemically bonded

#9
Front (Question)

What is a formulation

Back (Answer)

• A mixture • that is designed as a useful product

#10
Front (Question)

Example of formulations

Back (Answer)

• Alloys • Jewlery • stainless steel –> cutlery • NPK fertalisers • Medicines • Cleaning agents • food + drink • paints

#11
Front (Question)

How are formulations made

Back (Answer)

• each chemical has been added in carefully measured amounts • each chemical has a specific purpose

#12
Front (Question)

What is chromotography used for

Back (Answer)

To understated what an ink or food colour is made from

#13
Front (Question)

chromotography: method

Back (Answer)

• On the bottom of paper draw a line in pencil • dot the test things (ink/foodcolour) on the line • Place in a beaker with a solute • Make sure the pencil line is above the solute • Wait util the solute has travelled up to nearly the top (1cm away from top)

#14
Front (Question)

How does chromotography work

Back (Answer)

• As mobile phase moves up the stationary • the chemical in the ink moves at different speeds • causing seperation

#15
Front (Question)

Mobile phase

Back (Answer)

• moves • chemical must be soluble in it • ethanol –> must use lid as it will evaporate

#16
Front (Question)

stationary phase

Back (Answer)

• doesn’t move • attracts certain chemical • usually paper

#17
Front (Question)

Chromatography: impure vs pure substance

Back (Answer)

• Pure will be one dot • Impure will be multiple as many inks will seperate out

#18
Front (Question)

Why do some inks move further than others

Back (Answer)

Furthest • Least attracted to paper • Most attracted to mobile phase Least • Most attracted to stationary phase • least soluble in solvent

#19
Front (Question)

What is an Rf vaule

Back (Answer)

• A value used to identify the compound • compare the known Rf value to what your compund travelled

#20
Front (Question)

How to calculate Rf value

Back (Answer)

Distance travlled by component/distance travelled by solvent • Will always be less than one

#21
Front (Question)

Test for hydrogen

Back (Answer)

• Lighted splint • squeaky pop • hydrogen is explosive so ‘pop’ is a mini explosion

#22
Front (Question)

test for oxygen

Back (Answer)

• glowing splint • relights • concentration of O2 is higher so the splint relights faster

#23
Front (Question)

test for CO2

Back (Answer)

• Bubbles though limewater • Cloudy • When reacted a precipitate is formed • calcium carbonate

#24
Front (Question)

Test for chlorine

Back (Answer)

• damp blue litmus paper • white (bleached) • Chlorine is a bleach
