问题
What is paper chromatography used for?
查看答案
答案
Paper chromatography is used to separate substances that have different solubilities in a given solvent, such as identifying the components of a mixture.
闪卡 15
问题
What does a single spot on a chromatogram indicate?
查看答案
答案
A single spot on a chromatogram indicates that the substance is pure.
闪卡 16
问题
What should the base line on a chromatogram be drawn with?
查看答案
答案
The baseline on a chromatogram should be drawn with a pencil.
闪卡 17
问题
True or False? The solvent level should start above the pencil line on a chromatogram.
查看答案
答案
False. The solvent level should not start above the pencil line, as this would ruin the chromatogram.
闪卡 18
问题

查看答案
答案
There are 3 substances in D.
闪卡 19
问题
True or False? Multiple spots on a chromatogram indicate a pure substance.
查看答案
答案
False. Multiple spots on a chromatogram indicate that the substance is a mixture.

闪卡 22
问题
Why should the baseline (starting line) in chromatography be drawn in pencil?
查看答案
答案
The baseline (starting line) should be drawn in pencil because it will not contaminate the results / will not run.

答案
The equation for the retention factor (Rf value) is:
闪卡 24
问题
What does an Rf value closer to 1 indicate?
查看答案
答案
An Rf value close to 1 indicates that the component is very / highly soluble in the solvent used.
闪卡 25
问题
True or False? The Rf value of a compound is always the same, regardless of the solvent used.
查看答案
答案
False. The Rf value of a compound depends on the solvent used. If the solvent is changed, the Rf value will change.
闪卡 26
问题
What is the purpose of calculating Rf values in paper chromatography?
查看答案
答案
The purpose of calculating Rf values is to allow chemists to identify unknown substances.
闪卡 27
问题
Why does an Rf value have no units?
查看答案
答案
An Rf value does not have units because it is a ratio.
闪卡 28
问题
What does the Rf value range between?
查看答案
答案
The Rf values ranges between 0 and 1.
