5. A solution in chemistry is a homogenous mixture of
two or more substances.
The substance which is dissolved is called a solute.
The substance in which the solute is dissolved is
called a solvent.
The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a
known quantity of solvent at a certain temperature is
its solubility.
A pure substance would be made of a single
substance and is not mixed with something else eg.
pure water, gold which is not mixed with something
else
An impure substance has two more substances mixed
together eg. mixture of salt and sand.
Suspension is when a solute is not homogenised with
a solvent and its particle

7. Purity assessment from melting
point/boiling points
The melting point of a substance is the
temperature in which the substance
melts. Similarly, the boiling point of a
substance is the temperature at which
it boils.
Interestingly, the boiling point and
melting point of a substance can give us
an indication of how pure it is. The
table below summarizes this quite well
8. A pure substance have
definite, sharp melting
point and boiling point.
These are different for each
substance. You can identify
a substance from its mp/bp
When a substance contains
impurity
I. Its melting point falls and
boiling point rises
II. It melts and boils over a
range of temperature and
does not have a sharp
melting point
III. Recall heating curves →

12. Pipettes and burettes are more accurate than
measuring cylinder.
Measuring cylinder is quicker and easier
If you need to pour something quickly you must
use measuring cylinder,
If you need an accurate measurement of volume
of liquid, pipette or burette must be used.
Pipettes are usually used to add a fix volume for
example 5,10,25 cm3.
Burette can be used for measuring variable
volumes of liquids accurately like 11.2 cm3, 21.9
cm3 etc
13. Filtration:
To remove an insoluble solid from a liquid/solution
Decanting :
To separate a liquid from insoluble solid
Evaporation :
To separate a soluble substance (solute) from a solution.
Crystallization :
To separate a soluble substance (solute) from a solution in
the form of crystals.
Simple distillation:
To separate a solvent (liquid) from the solution leaving
behind solute.
Fractional distillation:
To separate a mixture of liquids from each other on the bases
of different boiling points
14. Filtration
Filtration is carried
out by pouring
the mixture into
a funnel covered
by a filter paper.
Whilst the liquid
will pass through
the filter, solids
will get caught,
thereby
separating
them.
15. Decanting is the
simple process of
letting insoluble
solids settle in
the liquid before
gently pouring it
out later.
16. This is a simple
process of separating
a solute from a
solution. Simply let
the solvent
evaporate off and it
will leave the solids
behind. Solution is
heated in an
evaporating dish over
a Bunsen burner and
tripod until all
solvent evaporates,
leaving behind the
solid solute.
17. This technique is
used to separate a
soluble solid from
a solution. It works
by heating the
solution to
crystallisation
point and then
slowly cooling it.
The soluble salt
will crystallize on
cooling due to
decrease in
solubility at low
temperature.
