Study Notes
Chemical Separation Techniques
- Crucial for obtaining pure materials and identifying their nature.
- Enable conducting further tests like spectral analysis and quantitative analysis.
- Prevent interference during chemical analysis.
- Relies on differences in physical or chemical properties, including:
- Solubility
- Fractional Dissolution
- Adsorption
- Boiling and Melting Points
- Ion Exchange
- Particle Size
Distillation
- Process of converting a liquid to a vapor, then condensing the vapor back to a liquid.
- Used for purifying liquids and separating liquids based on their boiling points.
- Involves two simultaneous processes:
- Evaporation: Heating the liquid to its vaporization point
- Condensation: Cooling the vapor to return it to a liquid state
Simple Distillation
- Used for:
- Purifying liquids from non-volatile solids
- Separating liquids with a boiling point difference greater than 50°C
- Measuring the actual boiling point of a liquid
