Resource summary

Percentage Yield
  1. 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
    1. 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.
      1. Yields are less than 100% because: 1) Evaporation, 2) Not all reactants react to make a product, 3) Filtration, 4) Transferring liquids
        1. Percentage Yield: Actual yield divided by Predicted Yield x 100
          1. Chemical Production: the types of manufacturing process depends on the product.
            1. ADVANTAGES: 1) Flexible-make several products. 2) Start up costs are low
              1. DISADVANTAGES: 1) Labour intensive. 2) Hard to keep the same quality batch to batch
              2. Continuous production runs all of the time
                1. ADVANTAGES: 1) Product never stops. 2) Runs automatically. 3) Quality is very consistent.
                  1. DISADVANTAGES: 1) Start up costs are expensive
                  2. Pharmaceutical drugs: Research and development requires a lot of work. Trialling is time consuming and manufacturing is expensive as well as labour intensive.
                    1. 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.
