C8 - Chemical Analysis
  1. Purity
    1. Only one compound or element - not mixed with anything else
      1. A melting or boiling point can tell you the purity
        1. Specific to element/compounds
          1. Closer = more pure
          2. Impure = lower melting/higher boiling
        2. Formulations
          1. Useful mixture with precise purpose
            1. components measured specifically to perform function
              1. Pharmacy
                1. Consumption
                  1. Shelf Life
                    1. Concentration
                    2. Packaging - ratio/percent of each component = suitable decisions
                    3. Paper Chromatography
                      1. Mobile phase = molecules can move (liquid or gas)
                        1. more time spent here = quicker movement through stationary
                        2. Stationary phase = molecules cannot move (solid or thick liquid)
                          1. Distance dependent on how soluble they are + how attracted to the paper they are
                            1. higher solubility + low attraction = more time in mobile = further
                            2. ink = soluble
                              1. pencil = insoluble
                                1. Rf values
                                  1. Is a certain substance in a mixture
                                    1. Measure pure substance Rf (reference) - compare to Rf spots in mixture
                                    2. Change of solvent = Rf changes
                                      1. Mixture + Reference spot in all solvents is the same = substance present
                                  2. Gas Tests
