What is a pure substance (chem)
• A substance made up of • a single element or compound
b.m.p of pure vs impure substance
• A pure substance has one very specific m.b.p temperature • An impure substance changes state at a range of tempratures
What is a pure substance (everyday)
• A substance that has had nothing added to it • in its “natural state”
What is an element
only one type of atom
What is compound
• Two or more • different • elements/atoms chemically bonded
What is an atom
Single particle of an element
What is a molecule
• Two or more atoms • same or different • Chemically bonded
What is amixture
• different particles • not chemically bonded
What is a formulation
• A mixture • that is designed as a useful product
Example of formulations
• Alloys • Jewlery • stainless steel –> cutlery • NPK fertalisers • Medicines • Cleaning agents • food + drink • paints
How are formulations made
• each chemical has been added in carefully measured amounts • each chemical has a specific purpose
What is chromotography used for
To understated what an ink or food colour is made from
chromotography: method
• 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)
How does chromotography work
• As mobile phase moves up the stationary • the chemical in the ink moves at different speeds • causing seperation
Mobile phase
• moves • chemical must be soluble in it • ethanol –> must use lid as it will evaporate
stationary phase
• doesn’t move • attracts certain chemical • usually paper
Chromatography: impure vs pure substance
• Pure will be one dot • Impure will be multiple as many inks will seperate out
Why do some inks move further than others
Furthest • Least attracted to paper • Most attracted to mobile phase Least • Most attracted to stationary phase • least soluble in solvent
What is an Rf vaule
• A value used to identify the compound • compare the known Rf value to what your compund travelled
How to calculate Rf value
Distance travlled by component/distance travelled by solvent • Will always be less than one
Test for hydrogen
• Lighted splint • squeaky pop • hydrogen is explosive so ‘pop’ is a mini explosion
test for oxygen
• glowing splint • relights • concentration of O2 is higher so the splint relights faster
test for CO2
• Bubbles though limewater • Cloudy • When reacted a precipitate is formed • calcium carbonate
Test for chlorine
• damp blue litmus paper • white (bleached) • Chlorine is a bleach
