Retrieval: Separating Mixtures

Suggest what separation technique should be used in the following scenarios:

Identify the dyes used to colour foods

Obtain pure crystals of compounds used in medicines

Obtain fresh water from seawater

Separate crude oil into different fuels

Remove solids before waste water is purified

Challenge: Explain why a substance will dissolve faster if you increase the temperature of the solvent it is being dissolved in

Chromatography

Crystallisation

Distillation

Fractional Distillation

Filtration

Challenge: At higher temperatures, the particles in the solvent have more kinetic energy and move around quicker, which means the substance dissolves faster

Chromatography

Chromatography is a separation technique that can be used to separate a mixture of substances dissolved in a solvent

It can also be used to assess the purity of a substance, as we looked at last lesson.

Chromatography Process

Chromatography is able to separate mixtures because the substances in them have differing attractions to the different phases.

The substance that is the most soluble in the solvent moves the further. Any insoluble substances remain on the reference line.

The stationary phase is the paper

The mobile phase is the solvent

Paper Chromatography: Method

  • Draw a reference line in pencil horizontally 2cm from the bottom of the chromatography paper.
  • Use a pipette to place a small volume of the substance you are testing on the reference line. If you are testing more than one substance ensure they are adequately spaced out.
  • Suspend the chromatography paper in the solvent. The solvent should not reach the reference line
  • Leave the paper in the solvent to allow the process to occur. Once complete, carefully remove the paper

Learning Check: Chromatography Method

  • Why should the reference line be drawn in pencil and not pen?

  • Why is it important the solvent does not reach the reference line?

  • Suggest why it is important to keep the apparatus away from direct sunlight whilst the chromatography process occurs?

  • Why is it important to make sure there is space between different substances being tested?

  • What factors (other than solubility of the substance) might affect how far a substance travels during chromatography?

Ink will move up the chromatography paper along with the substance being tested

The substance being tested will dissolve into the substance into the beaker, and not travel up the chromatography paper

To minimise evaporation of the solution

To make sure different substances do not mix together, which will affect the results

The stationary and mobile phase used

How long the mobile phase is allowed to travel through the paper

Analysing Chromatograms

Pure & Impure Substances:

A pure substance will only produce one spot on a chromatogram. Impure mixtures will produce several spots as they contain more than one substance

Distance moved by solute

Distance moved by solvent

Rf =

Known & Unknown Substances:

We can compare the distance moved by an unknown mixture to known substances to ascertain what substance the mixture contains

Rf Values:

Retention factor (Rf) values are a way to compare the distances moved by different substances

Learning Check – Chromatography Extension

A medicine comes in a 5.0g sachet. It contains 120mg of paracetamol per 5.0g, along with other ingredients.

  • Calculate the percentage of paracetamol in each sachet.
  • The only active ingredient in the medicine in paracetamol. Suggest 2 reasons why the medicine is a formulation rather than pure paracetamol.
  • The resulting chromatogram is shown in the diagram.

Calculate the Rf value for propyl paraben. Give your answer to 3 significant figures.

4. The Rf value for butyl paraben, which is not found in the medicine, is 0.52. Calculate the distance moved by butyl paraben on the chromatogram.
