Description

To succeed in this topic, you need to:

  • Be familiar with mixtures and separation techniques that are based on the physical properties of the components involved, e.g. melting-points, solubility.
  • Be familiar with qualitative analysis in identifying and confirming a sample substance through comparison with a known standard.
  • Be aware that forces of attraction act between different chemical species leading to greater or lesser affinity between particles.

After working through this Chemistry Factsheet, you will:

  • Be able to describe the use of thin-layer chromatography (TLC) to separate and identify components in a sample mixture by comparing Rf
    values.
  • Be able to explain what is meant by stationary and mobile phases and how different affinities for the mobile and stationary phases leads to different Rf values or retention times.
  • Be able to correctly complete typical examination questions on thin-layer chromatography and gas chromatography (GC).
