Key Topics to Revise

1

Purification of Solids

  • Two types of impurities exist: (1) Soluble in same solvent as main substance, (2) Insoluble in same solvent
  • Filtration separates insoluble impurities - residue remains on filter paper, filtrate passes through
  • Filtration under suction is faster and more efficient using Buchner funnel and vacuum pump
2

Distillation Techniques

  • Simple distillation separates volatile liquids from non-volatile impurities or liquids with large boiling point differences (>25°C)
  • Thermometer bulb must be just below side arm to measure vapor temperature accurately
  • Fractional distillation uses fractionating column to separate liquids with small boiling point differences
3

Solvent Extraction

  • Based on differential solubility of substance in two immiscible liquids
  • Organic substance extracted from aqueous solution using immiscible organic solvent
  • Solute distributes between two phases according to its relative solubility
4

Chromatographic Techniques

  • Based on differential distribution of components between stationary and mobile phases
  • Adsorption chromatography: separation by differential adsorption on solid stationary phase
  • Partition chromatography: separation by differential partitioning between two liquid phases
