pure substance
only contains 1 compount or element throughout
how to test purity of sample
measure melting + boiling points -> compare with melting + boiling point of pure substance
closer measured value is to actual melting/boiling point, purer the sample is
formulation
useful mixture with precise purpose, made by following go a formula
eg. paint, fuels, in drugs
two phases of chromatography
mobile phase - moelcules can move, always liquid or gas
stationary phase - molecules cant move, can be solid or thick liquid
test for chlorine
bleaches damp litmus paper - turns white
test for oxygen
relight glowing splint
test for carbon dioxide
bubbling with limewater turns solution cloudy
test for hydrogen
“squeaky pop” from lit splint
(hydrogen burns quicky with oxygen to form H2O)
mobile phase of paper chromatography
solvent
sationary phase of paper chromatography
chromatography paper
Rf value =
distance travelled by substance / distance travelled by solvent
