Finer paper Put the paper in suitable solvent (level of peeks solvent MUST be below baseline to avoid dissolving of the spot in solvent).

This value is used to identify the substance. y= Distance moved by the substance Distance moved by the solvent front = Paper chromatography is one test that can be used to check the purity of a substance, If the sample is pure, it should give one spot by chromatography. = The identity of substances can also be checked by comparing its Rr value to that of a sample we know to be pure. = The most common tests for purity are the melting and boiling points. Impurities would lower the melting point and raise the boiling point of a substance. ‘Solvent front Base line j+ Solvent evel IMPORTANT NOTES: ubstances separate according to their solubility in the solvent. E.g.: The dyes are carried by the solvent and begin to separate. The substances that is most soluble moves fastest up the paper. shat ismost soluble.moves fastestup the paper The run stops just before the solvent front (the level reached by the solvent). L-@ an insoluble substance will remain at the origin. @ If sample is insoluble in water, USE ethanol (organic solvent). (* Make sure to cover with lid if using ethanol as ethanol is volatile (can evaporate Make sure to cover with lid if using ethanol as ethanol is volatile ( easily). * Ifonly 1 spot produced, then the sample is pure. _ IMPORTANT QUESTIONS 1. Why isa lid necessary on top of the beaker, in case of using ethanol as a solvent? ¥ To prevent evaporation / loss of solvent. 2. If the dyes are insoluble in water, name a suitable solvent that could be used Y Organic solvent (E.g.: Ethanol) RATE OF CHEMICAL REACTION: > Introduction Volume cane # The reaction starts fast as the curve fat) concentration / Mass of reactants is high (Curve Steepest) Rerction slower = The reaction then slows down as the ea concentration / Mass is decreasing (Curve less Steep) action fastest = The reaction is finished when limiting (curve steepest) factor is used up (all reactants react) (Curve Tine Flat) > Factors affecting the rate of reactions * Temperature * Pressure * Concentration * Surface Area © Stirring + Catalyst et && By increasing any of these factors the rate of chemical reaction increases > Different reactions with different rate * A 8 € g B 3 2 c 3 Time /s Graph A ‘Steeper curve ® Higher rate of reaction.

Polystyrene is an insulator which will decrease heat loss and therefore the temperature measure high. ‘Graph of Temperature measured using polystyrene cup (Graph of Temperature measured sing copper cup IMPORTANT QUESTIONS 1. Suggest an advantage of taking readings regularly at short time intervals (e.g. every 15 seconds) ¥ There will be more readings so a smoother curve and more accurate graph will be drawn. 2. Suggest an advantage and disadvantage of taking readings after 1 min? ¥ Advantage: fair experiment. ¥ Disadvantage: may be the reaction not finished as if you are measuring temperature, termperature may be still changing. 3. Why does the rate of the reaction decrease over time? ¥ Concentration of reactants decrease 4. When does the reaction finish? / Explain why the rate is zero? ¥ All limiting factors react / used up / decompose 5. Why there is an anomalous point? @ ¥ Itcan bea result of misreading measuring cylinder or reading too early / late. ——_——{——— “Or? mote of \e
