  • What is a pure substance made up from?
    Only one type of particle and has a sharp melting and boiling point.
  • What is a mixture made up of?
    2 or more different types of particle and will melt/ boil over a range of tempuratures
  • A formulation is a mixture with specific amounts of different substances, designed to give specific properties
  • What are emulsifiers?
    A molecule that allows two IMMISCIBLE substances to mix
  • What does immiscible mean?
    2 liquids that do not mix together (the liquid forms layers instead)
  • What does emulsion mean?
    Tiny droplets of one liquid suspended (dispersed) in another liquid
  • Name the emulsifier diagram:
    A) Hydrophobic tail
    B) Hydrophilic head
  • HydroPHOBIC tail means that it attracts oil
    HydroPHILIC head means that it attracts water
    • Hydrogen → lit splint burns with a squeaky pop
    • Oxygen → glowing splint relights
    • Carbon dioxide → turns limewater from clear to cloudy
    • Chlorine → bleaches damp blue litmus paper
    • Water → turns Blue Cobalt chloride paper pink
  • What is the separation technique used to separate mixtures of soluble (usually coloured) substances?
    Chromatography
  • Chromatography works because some of the substances are more soluble than others.
    More soluble substances move further up the paper.
  • A chromatogram can be used to compare unknown mixtures with pure substances
  • Flame colour test:
    • Lithium→ crimson red
    • Potassium→ lilac flame
    • Calcium→ Orange
    • Copper→ blue, green
    • Barium→ apple green
    • Sodium→ orange/yellow flame
  • What is the difference between molecules and mixtures?
    Molecule: 2 or more atoms chemically bonded
    Mixtures: 2 or more compounds/ element together
  • Carbonates:
    Lime water starting to precipitate ( turn milky)
  • Some metal ions will form different coloured precipitates when mixed with sodium hydroxide
  • Iron (II) = green
    Iron (III) = brown
    Copper = Blue
    Calcium = White
    Magnesium = White
  • Silver ions reacts with halide ions to form insoluble precipitates
  • Silver ions
    Chloride = White
    Bromide= Cream
    Iodide= Yellow
  • Sulphates reacts with barium chloride to form a white precipitate
