REVIEW
For example above, salt (NaCl) in a solid state is mixed with water (H 2O) in a
liquid state.
● Generally, the solid which
MIXTURES: SOLIDS dissolves in a liquid is called a
AND LIQUIDS solute
● The liquid in which a solid
dissolves is called a solvent.
● Water is the most common
solvent.
● A solute dissolves in a solvent to
make a solution.
● For most solid solutes, what happens to the solubility as the temperature
increases?
MIXTURES: SEPARATION TECHNIQUES
● Another, physical property being used here is boiling point, where the solvent
will evaporate due to having a higher boiling point than the solute
For example copper sulphate from a solution of copper (II) sulphate in water
CRYSTALLISATION: METHOD
3. The saturated solution is allowed to cool slowly and solids will come out of the
solution as the solubility decreases, and crystals will grow
4. Crystals are collected by filtering the solution
CRYSTALLISATION: METHOD CONT…
5. Crystals are then washed with cold, distilled water to remove impurities and
allowed to dry
● Distillation used to separate
DISTILLATION a liquid and soluble solid
from a solution (e.g. water
from a solution of
saltwater) or a pure liquid
from a mixture of liquids
● Distillation involves the
physical property of boiling
point where the dissolved
solute has a much higher
boiling point than the
solvent.

CHROMATOGRAPHY
PAPER CHROMATOGRAPHY
● Separation by
chromatography produces a
chromatogram.
● A paper chromatogram can
be used to distinguish
between pure and impure
substances
INTERPRETING A CHROMATOGRAM
Rf (B) = 3 / 10 = 0.30
Rf (C) = 7 / 10 = 0.70
