Separating Substances
- Describe paper
chromatography
- Paper Chromatogarphy can be used to seperate mixture of
substances. It can be used to identify substances. The most
souable a substance is in the solvent,the further it wil travel
up the chromatography paper.
- You can use paper chromatography for identify
substances, seperate mixture of substances,
purify a substance by seperating it from its
impurities,
- Rf value =DIstance travelled by
the sample/Distance travelled
by the solvent
- Describe methods of separation and
purification: filtration, crystallisation,
distillation, fractional distillation
- Filtration- Used to seperate a solid
from a liquid.E.G- Sand and water
- Crystallisation- A solute from its
sloution. E.g- sugar and water
- Distillation- A slovent from its
sloution.E.G- obtain water from a slat
water solution.
- Fractional distillation- Liquids from each
other.Eg- ethanol and water
- Identify substances and assess
their purity from melting point
and boiling point information
- Pure substance- It has a definite
and shrp melting and boiling point
- Impurity- it is a substance
have a lower than usual
melting point and higher than
usual boiling point.
- Understand the importance
of purity in substances in
everyday life, e.g. foodstuffs
and drugs
- The purity of a substance also impacts the chemical
properties of a substance by reducing the chances
of unexpected products being formed if impurities
are present within the substance.
- Suggest suitable purification
techniques, given
information about the
substances involved
