Substances that contain two or more elements that are chemically combined in fixed proportions

How are compounds formed?

by chemical reactions between elements

What does the formula of a compound show?

the atoms of the elements that make up the compound and the proportion they're in

What is the relative formula mass (Mr) of a compound?

The sum of the relative atomic masses (Ar) of the atoms shown in the formula of a compound

A substance made up of two or more elements or compounds that aren't chemically combined together

How do the chemical properties of a substance change when it’s in a mixture?

The chemical properties of a substance don't change

How can you test for the presence of carbonate ions (CO₃²⁻)?

React with dilute acid to produce carbon dioxide gas, which can be tested by bubbling through limewater (turns cloudy).

How can you test for chloride (Cl⁻), bromide (Br⁻), and iodide (I⁻) ions?

Acidify with dilute nitric acid, then add aqueous silver nitrate. A white precipitate indicates chloride, a cream precipitate indicates bromide, and a yellow precipitate indicates iodide.

How can you test for nitrate ions (NO₃⁻)?

Heat with aluminium foil and aqueous sodium hydroxide, then test for ammonia gas (which turns damp red litmus blue).

What steps would you take to identify sulfate ions (SO₄²⁻)?

Acidify with dilute nitric acid, then add aqueous barium nitrate. A white precipitate of barium sulfate indicates the presence of sulfate ions.

What is a flame test?

A test to identify metal ions (cations)

State a brief method for carrying out a flame test.

1. Dip a clean metal wire loop into the sample compound to be tested 2. Hold the loop in a blue Bunsen burner flame 3. Record the colour of the flame

What can sodium hydroxide solution be used to test for?

certain metal ions (cations) in a solution

How can you test for the presence of ammonia (NH₃)?

Use damp red litmus paper; it will turn blue in the presence of ammonia.

How can you test for carbon dioxide (CO₂)?

Bubble the gas through limewater; it will turn cloudy if carbon dioxide is present.

How can you test for chlorine (Cl₂)?

Use damp litmus paper; it will turn white (bleach) due to the bleaching effect of chlorine.

How can you identify hydrogen (H₂)?

Bring a lighted splint near the gas; it will produce a 'pop' sound if hydrogen is present.

How can you test for oxygen (O₂)?

Use a glowing splint; it will reignite in the presence of oxygen.

What is a pure substance?

A single element or compound that isn't mixed with another substance

How can the purity of a substance be tested?

The purity of a substance can be tested by comparing its m.p. or b.p. to the m.p. or b.p. of the pure substance. A pure substance has specific m.p.s and b.p.s.

How is the melting point of a pure substance different from that of an impure substance?

A pure substance has one specific melting point. An impure substance has a melting range.

a substance that dissolves a solute

a substance that is dissolved in a solvent

a mixture of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent

Define saturated solution

a solution containing the maximum concentration of a solute dissolved in the solvent at a specified temperature

a solid substance that remains after evaporation, distillation, filtration or any similar process

a liquid or solution that has passed through a filter

What is fractional distillation used to separate?

Two liquids with different boiling points.

What is filtration used to separate?

An insoluble solid from a liquid

What is crystallisation?

Forming crystals of a soluble solid from a solution.
