Once a chemical has been extracted you need to test
for purity using chromatography, boiling and melting
points -- Pure substances have specific boiling&melting
points. Chromatography means it moves as one blob
Allotropes of Carbon: Different forms
(structural) of the same element in the same
physical state.. 1) Diamond-hard-used in
cutting tools-lustrous & colourless for
Jewellery- doesn't conduct electricity&has
strong covalent bonds, lot of energy needed to
overcome them so have a high MP. 2)
Graphite-black and opaque&shiny-slippery-has
layers of carbon and has a HP because of
strong covalent bonds.
Yields are less than 100%
because: 1) Evaporation, 2) Not all
reactants react to make a
product, 3) Filtration, 4)
Transferring liquids
Percentage Yield: Actual yield
divided by Predicted Yield x 100
Chemical
Production: the
types of
manufacturing
process depends
on the product.
ADVANTAGES: 1) Flexible-make several
products. 2) Start up costs are low
DISADVANTAGES: 1) Labour intensive. 2)
Hard to keep the same quality batch to
batch
Continuous production runs all of the time
ADVANTAGES: 1) Product
never stops. 2) Runs
automatically. 3) Quality is
very consistent.
DISADVANTAGES: 1) Start up
costs are expensive
Pharmaceutical drugs: Research and
development requires a lot of work. Trialling is
time consuming and manufacturing is
expensive as well as labour intensive.
Extracting a plant: 1. crush it. 2) Boil it so to dissolve in
a suitable solvent. 3) Separate it with chromatography.
4) Extract the chemical you want.
