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.

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 3
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 4
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.

问题
How many substances are in sample D?
查看答案
答案
There are 3 substances in D.
闪卡 6
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 7
问题
True or False? If two substances are the same, they will produce identical chromatograms.
查看答案
答案
True. If two substances are the same, they will produce identical chromatograms.

问题
Which colours from A-E does black food colouring contain?
查看答案
答案
The black food colouring contains A, E and an unknown.
闪卡 9
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.

State the equation to calculate the retention factor (Rf value). (Extended tier only)
查看答案
答案
The equation for the retention factor (Rf value) is: Rf =
闪卡 11
问题
What does an Rf value closer to 1 indicate? (Extended tier only)
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 12
问题
True or False? The Rf value of a compound is always the same, regardless of the solvent used. (Extended tier only)
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 13
问题
What is the purpose of calculating Rf values in paper chromatography? (Extended tier only)
查看答案
答案
The purpose of calculating Rf values is to allow chemists to identify unknown substances.
闪卡 14
问题
What does the Rf value range between? (Extended tier only)
查看答案
答案
The Rf values ranges between 0 and 1.
闪卡 15
问题
Why does an Rf value have no units? (Extended tier only)
查看答案
答案
An Rf value does not have units because it is a ratio.
闪卡 16
问题
What are locating agents in chromatography used for? (Extended tier only)
查看答案
答案
Locating agents are used to identify colourless substances on a chromatogram.

闪卡 18
问题
State what is meant by the term simple distillation.
查看答案
答案
Simple distillation is a technique used to separate a liquid from a solution (e.g., water from a salt solution) by boiling the solution and condensing the vapour.
闪卡 19
问题
What is fractional distillation?
查看答案
答案
Fractional distillation is a technique used to separate two or more liquids that have different boiling points from a mixture.
闪卡 20
问题
What does filtration separate?
查看答案
答案
Filtration separates an undissolved solid from a mixture of solid and liquid.
闪卡 21
问题
What is crystallisation used for?
查看答案
答案
Crystallisation is used to separate a dissolved solid from a solution.
闪卡 22
问题
In terms of the solid (solute), what is important about the solvent?
查看答案
答案
It is important that the solid (solute) is more soluble in hot solvent than in cold.
闪卡 23
问题
How can melting and boiling points distinguish between pure substances and mixtures?
查看答案
答案
Pure substances have specific and sharp melting and boiling points, while mixtures have a range of melting and boiling points
闪卡 24
问题
True or False? Salt dissolved in water is a pure substance.
查看答案
答案
False. A solution of salt dissolved in water is a mixture.
