C2.3 Methods
of Purification

1. Describe
and explain
methods of Filtration insoluble/dispersed solid Size of Sand from
separation and - Filtrate particles from a fluid particles water
purification by - residue
the use of a
Crystallisation Impurities from pure substances Solubility Salt crystals
suitable
- Saturated (purify compounds) from water
solvent,
- supersaturated
filtration,
crystallisation, Evaporation Soluble solid from a liquid Boiling Copper sulfate
distillation, point from water
fractional
distillation and Simple distillation Solvent from solution Boiling Pure water
paper point from seawater
chromatograp
Fractional distillation Different components of a Boiling Separation of
hy
- fractions mixture, liquids from each other point crude oil
(Establishes a temperature gradient with similar bp
Allows repeated condensation and
evaporation
Component with higher boiling point will
condense in low temperature zone)

Chromatography Different components of a Solubility Different

- solvent front solution (rf values) amino acids
- capillary action
2. Suggest
suitable
separation and
purification
techniques,
given
information
about the
substances
involved

P1.1 Length and Time

1. Use and
describe the
use of rules
and measuring
cylinders to
find a length
or a volume

2. Understand MICROMETER OR VERNIER CALLIPER FOR SMALL DISTANCES

that a
micrometer
screw gauge is
used to
measure very
small
distances

3. Use and
describe the
use of clocks
and devices,
both analogue
and digital, for
measuring an
interval of
time

4 Obtain an Period = measure time for 25 swings, divide by 5 OR use automatic timing
average value
for a small
distance and
for a short
interval of
time by
measuring
multiples
(including the
period of a
pendulum)

P1.5.1 Effect of forces

1. Recognise
that a force
may produce a
change in the
size, shape
and motion of
a body
2. Plot and
interpret
extension–
load graphs
and describe
the associated
experimental
procedure

X = limit of proportionality
Up to E, spring behaves elastically and returns to original length when load is removed
E = elastic limit

WHEN CALCULATING GRADIENT LOAD IS ON Y AXIS AND EXTENSION IS ON X AXIS

3. State Hookes law - extension is proportional to load before elastic limit

Hooke’s law
F = kx
and recall and
K = spring constant, equal to gradient
use the
X = extension
equation F =
F = load
kx where k is
the spring
- The higher the k is, the stiffer the spring
constant

4 Recognise Within the limit of proportionality/X,

the - Line is straight and passes through O
significance of - If load is doubled, extension is doubled
the term ‘limit - Extension/load always has same value (10mm/N)
of - EVERY 1N IN LOAD PRODUCES SAME EXTENSION (10MM)
proportionality
’ for an
extension–
load graph

5. Recall and
F = MA
use the
relationship
between
resultant
force, mass
and
acceleration, F
= ma

6. Understand Static friction

friction as the Dynamic friction
force between
two surfaces
which
impedes
motion and
results in
heating

7. Recognise AIR RESISTANCE IS A FORM OF FRICTION (DYNAMIC)

air resistance
as a form of
friction

8. Find the
resultant of
two or more
forces acting
along the
same line

9. Recognise
that if there is
no resultant
force on a
body it either
remains at rest
or continues at
constant
speed in a
straight line
