AP CHEM FINAL
) Filtration
When is it used?: It is used to to separate homogenous mixture
What are the steps needed in order to complete this
-1: Obtainyour ingredients: Funnel, Filter paper, solution, beaker
-2: Place the funnel on your beaker
-3 Place the filter paper inside your funnel
-4: Pour thee mixture through a filter paper
-5: The liquid will pass through the filter paper and the solid will remain in the funnel
2) Paper Chromatography
When is it used?:This is used when the chemicals being mixed have varying strengths of intermolecular forces.
What are the steps needed in order to complete this?
-1Gather the necessary ingredients: a beaker filled with water, chromatography paper, an ink substance, tape, and a dropper.
-2 Begin by drawing a line at the bottom of the chromatography paper using a pencil—avoid using a pen.
-3 Next, use the dropper to place a single drop of ink above the line you just drew.
-4 Carefully insert the bottom of the paper into the beaker and secure it in place with tape.
-5 Allow the water to reach the mobile phase while the paper remains in the stationary phase. You will see the colors in the ink begin to separate.
-6 Once the process is complete, remove the paper and take a picture.
3) Distillation ( without condenser)
WHen is it used?: This s used when the substances have different boiling points.
What are the steps needed in order to complete this?:
-1 Gather the necessary ingredients: amount of ML of the solution, a graduated cylinder, a hot plate, and an Erlenmeyer flask.
-2 Measure out amount mL of the solution using the graduated cylinder
-3: Begin heating the hot plate
-4: Weigh the Erlenmeye flask and record its mass on the scale. Record this on the data table.
-5 After noting the mass, remove the flask from the scale. Carefully add the amount mL of the souton into the flask.
-6 Place the flask on the hot plate
-7 Allow the solution to evaporate until only a reside remains in the flask
-8 Finally, measure the mass of the Erlenmeye flask along with the leftover substance. record this on the data table.
-9 Create your data table
-10 Determine the concentration of the solute
-11 If given the actual mass, determine the percent error.
