Liquid-Vapor Condensation
Liquid-Vapor Condensation
A technique that converts liquid into vapor and back to liquid to separate components, often used in crude oil processing.
Filtration
Filtration
A method used to separate solid matter from a liquid by using a permeable barrier or filter medium.
Centrifugation
Centrifugation
A separation technique that uses centrifugal force to segregate particles in a mixture based on their densities.

Study Notes
Separation Techniques
-
Filtration: Separates solid and liquid mixtures using a filter medium. The filter traps the solid while the liquid passes through.
-
Chromatography: A lab technique used to separate components of a mixture based on their differing affinities for the stationary and mobile phases.
-
Centrifugation: Separates components of a mixture based on their different densities using centrifugal force.
-
Decantation: Separates a liquid from a solid by carefully pouring off the liquid, leaving the solid behind.
-
Evaporation: Separates a solution by heating it until the solvent turns to vapor, leaving the dissolved solid behind.
-
Magnetic Separation: Separates magnetic materials from non-magnetic materials by using a magnetic field to attract and separate the magnetic material.
Measurements
- Accuracy: How closely a measured value agrees with the correct value.
- Precision: How closely individual measurements agree with one another.
Atoms, Molecules, and Ions
- Atom: The smallest unit of matter.
- Molecule: A combination of two or more of the same atoms.
- Compound: A combination of two or more different atoms.
- Democritus proposed the concept of "atomos" (indivisible particles)
Atomic Structure
- Atomic Number (Z): The number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
- Mass Number: The sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
- Proton: Positively charged particle in the atom's nucleus.
- Neutron: A neutral particle in the atom's nucleus.
- Electron: Negatively charged particle found outside the nucleus in electron shells.
- Ion: A charged atom or molecule.
- Isotopes: Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
Chemical Bonds
- Ionic Bond: Forms between metal and nonmetal atoms as one atom transfers electrons to another.
- Covalent Bond: Forms when atoms share electrons. Usually between nonmetal atoms.
Representing Compounds
- Chemical Formula: Represents the elements present and their relative numbers in a compound.
- Molecular Formula: Shows the actual number of atoms of each element.
- Empirical Formula: The simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.
- Structural Formula: Shows the actual number of atoms and bonds between them.
- Molecular Models: 3D representations of molecules where atoms are represented by balls and bonds by sticks.
Atomic Theories
- Dalton's Atomic Theory: Introduced the concept of atoms as fundamental building blocks of chemical structures.
- Thomson's Plum Pudding Model: Proposed that atoms contain negatively charged electrons within a positively charged sphere.
- Rutherford's Nuclear Model: Suggested the existence of a dense, positively charged nucleus containing most of the atom's mass.
- Bohr's Planetary Model: Described electrons as orbiting the nucleus in specific energy levels or shells.
- Schrodinger's Quantum Model (Modern Model): Describes electrons as existing in orbitals/electron clouds.
