Chapter 4, Problem 6Q
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the use of gravity filtration instead of suction filtration to remove the suspended impurities and charcoal from a hot solution should be explained.

Concept introduction:

Gravity filtration is the process that is used to separate the solids from liquids based on the particle size with the help of gravity. This method is used when the filtrate is to be retained and the residue on the filter paper is discarded. It is a slow process and removes only large particles from the air.

Suction filtration is a technique that is used to separate the mixtures of solids and liquids. This method is used when the solid is to be retained and the filtrate is discarded. It is much faster than gravity filtration.

PAPER CROMATOGRAPHY • Define chromatography • Demonstrate an understanding of the process of chromatography • Describe the steps involved in a chromatography investigation Explanation Coloured inks are often made up of several different inks. Each colour of ink will get carried a different distance by the water, allowing you to see all of the different inks. Try this with different colours to see what actually goes into a colour. This technique is called chromatography and can be used in chemistry to find out what is in an unknown mixture. II. Materials .Felt tip pens (non-washable) . Kitchen roll .A bowl or cup . Water • Scissors III. Health and safety • Make sure that you thoroughly clean any equipment after the experiment before using for food IV. Procedure Method 1 1. Take a sheet of kitchen roll and draw a simple picture with a non-washable felt tip pen. 2. Place the sheet over an empty bowl. This is to keep the paper from getting too wet. 3. Carefully add a few drops of water…
Filtration of samples A, B, and C show no residue left. After letting them dry in different beakers, SAmple A remains no residues. Sample B shows crystal leftovers, and sample C show brown film on the beaker walls. This means that: a. Two or more samples are heterogenous b. Two or more samples are homogenous c. all sample have 2 or more phases d. all samples are pure
Vacuum filtration is just one method that can be used to separate the components of a mixture. Describe another method for separating the components of a mixture, and comment on how "green" the method is. Be sure to indicate the physical state of each component during separation. Scientific literature should be cited as part of your response.
