    Study Notes

    Chromatography

    • A method for separating mixtures
    • Involves a stationary phase and a mobile phase
    • Used to identify and separate components in a mixture
    • Steps include: drawing a pencil line, placing a dot, letting the mobile phase move, measuring distance travelled, and calculating Rf value (ratio of the distance travelled by the substance to the distance travelled by the solvent)
    • Example: can separate different coloured components in a mixture
    • RF is the ratio of the distance traveled by the spot to the distance traveled by the solvent

    Physical and Chemical Changes

    • Chemical changes result in new substances
    • Physical changes do not create new substances
    • Example: Burning wood is a chemical change; freezing water is a physical change

    States of Matter

    • Different states have different arrangements of particles
    • Example: Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume.
    • States of matter are related to the arrangement, and movement of particles within a substance.

    Methods of Separating Mixtures

    • Different methods for separating various types of mixtures, including:
      • Chromatography: separating coloured components
      • Filtration: separating solids and liquids
      • Distillation: separating liquids with different boiling points
      • Separating mixtures: separating substances based on differences in properties
    • Includes techniques like separating mixtures based on differences in boiling points

    Heating and Cooling Curves

    • Graphs showing changes in temperature over time
    • Show phase transitions (solid, liquid, gas)
    • Can be used to identify substances and understand phase change behaviours
    • Example: A heating curve shows the change in temperature of a substance as heat is added to it.
    • Heating and cooling curves are graphical representations of the changes in temperature of a substance as heat is added or removed over time. This can help determine the substance as heating and cooling curves are unique to different substances.

    Pure Substances

    • Substances that have a fixed composition and properties
    • Examples include elements and compounds
    • Example: Water (H₂O) is a pure substance with a fixed composition.

    Methods for Separating Mixtures

    • Additional methods might include:
      • Distillation: Separating liquids with different boiling points
      • Filtration: Separating liquids from solids
      • Evaporation: Separating a soluble solid from a liquid
      • Magnetism: Separating magnetic from non-magnetic materials.
      • Extraction: Separating mixtures based on differences of solubility in a solvent
