separation techniques
simple distillation
-
.
Simple distillation can also separate a solute from a solvent, when the solvent has a lower boiling point than the solute
The vapour released passes through a condenser, where the gas cools back into a liquid.
-
Fractional distillation
The mixture is slowly heated until the liquid with the lowest boiling point boils and then condenses. Then we increase temperature slowly to collect (boil then condense) the other fractions.
-
-
We can normally separate mixtures and compounds into the elements or compounds found in them. We use physical processes to separate them - these don't create new chemical substances. Separation processes include:
crystalisation
.
Crystallisation separates solutions into their different parts: dissolved solids (solutes) and liquids (solvents).
-
Eventually, crystals of the solute (dissolved solids) will form.
-
filtration
.
Filtration separates mixtures that contain insoluble (can't dissolve) solids and liquids (which are soluble).
-
-
-
chromatography
.
Chromatography separates solutions with a number of different solutes (solids) in the solvent (liquid).
Place a drop of the solution to be separated near the bottom of a piece of chromatography paper. Dip the very bottom of the paper into a suitable solvent. The solvent (liquid) moves up the paper and carries the solutes (solids) in the solution with it.
Different solutes (solids) move at different speeds, so they separate on the paper.

Elements and compounds
There are 118 different types of elements that humans have discovered and each one has its own chemical symbol. Atoms are the smallest possible unit of an element
Atoms of different elements can be combined together to create compounds. Compounds have formulae that are made by combining the chemical symbols of the elements that combine to make them.
-
Mixtures
Mixtures are made of 2+ substances (elements or compounds) that haven't been combined chemically. Mixtures can be separated. Their chemical properties don't change because they have been mixed with another substance. Mixtures are common in everyday life.
-
-
isotopes
Every atom of the same element will contain an identical number of protons (the same atomic number). But atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons: these atoms are known as isotopes.
hydrogen has 3 isotopes
protium has 1 proton and 0 neutrons - it is used in fuel cells and plastic production and is the most common isotopes

symbol equatioms
.
-
-
Symbol equations must be 'balanced' (have the same number of atoms of each element on each side of the equation). This is because atoms aren't created or destroyed during chemical reactions.
