What is the field of chemical analysis also known as?
Analytical chemistry
View source
What does chemical analysis involve?
Separating
, identifying, and
quantifying
substances
View source
What are some methods used in chemical analysis?
Paper
chromatography
Filtration
Crystallization
Distillation
View source
What is a pure substance?
Contains only one type of
compound
or
element
View source
Why is saltwater not considered pure?
It is a mixture of different
compounds
View source
Why is the purity of a substance important?
Only pure substances melt and boil at specific
temperatures
View source
At what temperature does water boil?
100
degrees Celsius
View source
At what temperature does sodium chloride melt?
801
degrees Celsius
View source
What can boiling point tests help identify?
Unknown substances
based on boiling point
View source
What is a physical test in chemistry?
Testing physical
properties
of a substance
View source
What is a chemical test in chemistry?
Reacting a
substance
with another chemical
View source
How do impure substances behave in terms of melting and boiling points?
They melt and boil over a range of
temperatures
View source
What effect do impurities have on melting and boiling points?
Lower
melting
point
,
increase
boiling
point
View source
What is the melting point of saltwater?
About
minus 2 degrees Celsius
View source
What is the boiling point of saltwater?
Around
100.5
degrees Celsius
View source
What are formulations in chemistry?
Mixtures
prepared using a specific formula
View source
What is the purpose of formulations?
To contain precise amounts of
components
View source
How are formulations similar to recipes?
They require specific
proportions
of components
View source
What might different components in a formulation contribute?
Different
properties
for the final product
View source
What happens after testing different combinations in formulations?
Find
the
right
combination
for
repeated
use
View source
What should you do if you enjoyed the video?

View source
What technique is used to separate substances in a mixture?
Chromatography
View source
What is the purpose of paper chromatography?
To separate and
identify
substances
in a mixture
View source
What is the first step in paper chromatography?
Draw a
baseline
with a pencil
View source
Why is the solvent level kept shallow in paper chromatography?
To avoid submerging the
pencil line
View source
What happens to the different dyes during chromatography?
They travel at different
rates
up the paper
View source
What is the pattern of spots left after chromatography called?
Chromatogram
View source
What are the mobile and stationary phases in chromatography?
Mobile phase
is the solvent; stationary phase is the paper
View source
How do the properties of substances affect their movement in chromatography?
Solubility
determines how fast they move
View source
What does a single spot on a chromatogram indicate?
The sample is a
pure substance
View source
What is the formula for calculating the rf value?
rf =
distance travelled by substance
/
distance travelled by solvent
View source
If a pink substance travels 6 cm and the solvent travels 10 cm, what is the rf value?
0.6
0.6
0.6
View source
How does changing the solvent or paper affect the chromatogram?
It may change the
rf values
and pattern
View source
Why must chemists consider the solvent and paper type when looking up rf values?
Different
conditions
affect the rf values
View source
What should you do to prevent solvent evaporation during chromatography?
Place a lid on the
beaker
View source
What happens if a chemical is not soluble in the solvent during chromatography?
It remains on the
baseline
View source
What is the significance of the chromatogram in identifying substances?
It allows comparison with
known
data
View source
What are the four carbon gases tested in the video?
Chlorine
, oxygen, hydrogen,
carbon dioxide
View source
What is the first step in testing for chlorine?
Fill a
test tube
with the sample gas
View source
What happens to blue litmus paper when chlorine is present?
It turns from
blue
to
white
