  • formulation
    mixture that's been designed as a useful product
  • Rf value
    distance moved by substance divided by distance moved by solvent
  • solubility in chromatography
    more soluble - further distance travelled up paper
  • chromatography mixtures and pure
    mixture - compounds may separate into different spots depending on solvent
    pure - only one spot in all solvents
  • test for hydrogen
    burning splint held at end of test tube
    creates squeaky pop
  • test for oxygen
    insert glowing splint in test tube
    splint relights in oxygen
  • test for carbon dioxide
    bubble gas through limewater
    will turn milky / cloudy
  • test for chlorine
    use damp litmus paper
    paper will be bleached and turns white
  • halides
    first add dilute nitric acid followed by silver nitrate solution
