Resource summary
Elements, Compounds and Mixtures
Diatomic Molecules - two atoms which bond together COVALENTLY
High melting point - means STRONG BONDS between particles
Alloy - mixture of two or more elements at LEAST ONE OF WHICH IS A METAL
HPLC - High Performance Liquid Chromatography
Retention Time - the time each COMPONENT spends in the COLUMN
Elements
Only ONE type of atom
Cannot be simplified by chemical means
Two main kinds - metals and non-metals
Mixtures
ORIGINAL properties of components REMAIN
Have VARIABLE COMPOSITION
Formation involves NO ENERGY CHANGE
Compounds
Two or more elements CHEMICALLY JOINED TOGETHER
Made by CHEMICAL REACTIONS
Have properties DIFFERENT FROM REACTANTS
Filtration - can be used to separate an INSOLUBLE LIQUID from a LIQUID
Recrystallisation/Evaporation - can be used to separate a SOLUTE from a SOLVENT
Simple Distillation - used to separate a SOLVENT from the SUBSTANCES DISSOLVED IN IT
Fractional Distillation - used to separate MISCIBLE LIQUIDS with DIFFERENT BOILING POINTS
Separating Funnel - used to separate IMMISCIBLE LIQUIDS
Chromatography - used to separate SOLUBLE SUBSTANCES which are VERY SIMILAR
Mass Spectrometers determine how heave the molecule is, and how it breaks up
Ability to identify a substance and ensure its purity is important -
to ensure purity of raw materials
to check for adherence to claim on labels
in drug design and manufacture
to identify confiscated drugs and contraband
to forensic scientists
Area under the peak in HPLC is proportional to the amount of the COMPONENT in the MIXTURE, and is used to monitor the concentration -
in drug testing in sport
in environmental monitering
in petrochemical industry
in chemical, medical and biological research
Advantages of Instrumental Analysis -
Disadvantages of Instrumental Analysis -
Instruments are extremely expensive
Highly skilled chemists are required to use them
Some compounds cannot be detected
Can use minute samples
Fully automated
Almost 100% accuracy
