Cards (15)

  • Formulations
    useful mixtures used by following a formula, with a precise purpose
  • purities
    Made of one atom/element/compound
    Boil/ melt at a fixed temperature
  • impurities
    Two or more elements/compounds/mixtures
    Boil/ melt at varying temperatures
  • Chromatography
    Seperates substances by solubility
    start line in pencil
    solvent below ink
    solvent front line- where solvent stops
    stationary phase- filter paper
    mobile phase- solvent moves
  • RF values
    By distance solute travels/ solvent travels
    COmpared to a system to identify unknown substances
  • Flame test
    For cations
    Nichrome wires/ splint dippes into solution and into a roaring flame
  • flame test result
    Na- yellow
    Ca- orange
    K- lilac
    Cu- green
    Li- crimson
  • Metal hydroxide test
    Metal + Sodium Hydroxide
    Mg and Ca- white
    Al- white then redissolves when in excess
    Cu2+- blue
    Iron2+- green
    Iron3+- brown
  • Hydrogen gas test
    Lighted splint held near neck of tube, splint ignites and squeeky pop sounds
  • Oxygen gas test
    Glowing splint relighs in tube
  • Carbon dioxide test 

    Bubbled through limewater to turn milky/cloudy white
  • Chlorine test
    Damp litmus paper is bleached white
  • Carbonate test (anions)

    Acid + carbonate
    Will bubble if carbon dioxide present
  • Sulfate test
    Add an acid ( not sulfuric)
    Add barium chloride- positive result is white
  • Hallide test
    Add an acid (not any of the ones testing)
    Add silver nitrate, positive result is-
    Chlorine- white
    Bromine- cream
    Iodine- yellow
