5 Questions
What are the two types of impurities that a solid substance may contain?
A solid substance may contain impurities that are soluble in the same solvent as the main substance and impurities that are not soluble in the same solvent as the substance.
Explain the importance of obtaining chemical substances in pure form before investigating their composition and properties.
It is essential to obtain chemical substances in pure form before investigating their composition and properties in order to accurately determine their characteristics and behavior, as impurities can affect the results of analytical techniques.
How can the second type of impurity in a solid substance be separated?
The second type of impurity in a solid substance can be separated using a suitable solvent to dissolve the main compound while the impurities remain undissolved and can be separated by filtration.
Describe the process of filtration for separating impurities from a solid substance.
Filtration is carried out with the help of a filter paper cone placed in a funnel, where the solution containing the dissolved main compound is passed through the filter paper, leaving the undissolved impurities behind.
What physical properties do methods of purification and separation of compounds depend on?
Methods of purification and separation of compounds depend on the difference in their physical properties, such as solubility, boiling point, and polarity.
