Reflection on SA2

Hiiii
Im Leatrice from 1E3
Im quite happy cuz my results were far better from what i expected :D
Hehe
The paper was reasonably okayyyy
I think i could have done better tho
I hope that SIA next year would be nice to me
So yeaaaaa bye

REFLECTION TIME

Chromatography Experiment

It was kinda FUN :D
But i could have done better
and yeaaaaaaaaaa

End Product

SEPARATION OF MIXTURES RESEARCH :D

Research~
Pleasehhh read :D

SEPARATION OF MIXTURE
Filtration
-Filtration is for separating an insoluble solid from a solid-liquid mixture.
-Sand,for example can be separated from liquid using filtration
Steps
-The filter paper is used to separate the mixture because it has tiny pores
-Only the tiny dissolved substances can pass through the tiny pores.
-The insoluble liquids that are too large to pass through the pores will remain on the filter paper.
-The substances collected on the filter paper is called residue.
-The solution collected in the flask is called the filtrate


Applications
-Water taps usually have a simple filter to screen out large mineral deposits. 
-Coffee makers use a filter to keep the coffee grounds out of 
the water. 

-A tea bag is a filter it filters tea leaves from the water.

Evaporation 
-Is good for separating a soluble solid from a liquid.
-Example,copper sulphate crystals can be separated from copper sulphate solution using evaporation.It is the water that evaporates,not the solution.
STEPS
-Liquid is heated to the point of vaporization
-Leaving solids behind
APPLICATIONS
-Industrial applications include recovering salts from solutions and drying a variety of materials such as lumber,paper,cloth and chemicals.





Crystallisation
-Used to recover pure soluble solid from a solution which is not heat stable
STEPS
-The solution is heated until it becomes saturated.
-It cools slowly so that the crystals can be formed easily
*If the compound is not heat-stable,strong heating to dryness would decompose it
APPLICATIONS
Macroscopic crystal production: for supply the demand of natural-like crystals with methods that "accelerate time-scale" for massive production and/or perfection.
o Ionic crystal production;
o Covalent crystal production.
* Tiny size crystals:
o Powder, sand and smaller sizes: using methods for powder and controlled (nanotechnology fruits) forms.
+ Mass-production: on chemical industry, like salt-powder production.
+ Sample production: small production of tiny crystals for material characterization. Controlled recrystallization is an important method to supply unusual crystals, that are needed to reveal the molecular structure and nuclear forces inside a typical molecule of a crystal. Many techniques, like X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy, are widely used in chemistry and biochemistry to determine the structures of an immense variety of molecules, including inorganic compounds and bio-macromolecules.
o Thin film production.
Magnetic attraction
-Uses magnets to separate magnetic substances from a mixture.
-E.g. of magnetic substances are iron,steel,nickel and cobalt
STEPS
-Use a magnet and place it in a sample of iron and sulphur powder
-The magnet would attract the iron powder
APPLICATIONS
-Used to separate particles out based on magnetic properties 



Paper Chromatography
-Is used to separate a mixture which is based on the extent of solubility in given solvent
STEPS
-The basic paper chromatography has the following features:

                              
-The result of the separated components of the chromatography paper is called the chromatogram

Reverse Osmosis
- A water purification technology that uses a semipermeable membrane
- This membrane-technology is not properly a filtration method
- In RO, an applied pressure is used to overcome osmotic pressure, a colligative property, that is driven by chemical potential, a thermodynamic parameter
- RO can remove many types of molecules and ions from solutions and is used in both industrial processes and to produce potable water
- The result is that the solute is retained on the pressurized side of the membrane and the pure solvent is allowed to pass to the other side
-To be "selective," this membrane should not allow large molecules or ions through the pores (holes), but should allow smaller components of the solution (such as the solvent) to pass freely 


                                                                  
APPLICATIONS

- Drinking water purification


- Household drinking water purification systems, including a reverse osmosis step, are commonly used for improving water for drinking and cooking.

Distillation
-Used to separate a solid-liquid mixture
STEPS
-The liquid is heated until its boiling point and changes vapour
-The vapour is then cooled by a condenser and changes back into a liquid
-It is collected in the receiver as a distillate
-The impurities whch have much higher boiling points remain in the flask
-The bulb of the thermometer must be placed near the opening of the condenser so that it can measure the boiling point of the substance accurately
-During the boiling of the substance,the temperature remains constant
-The boiling chips are added for smooth boiling
APPLICATIONS
- Carbohydrate-containing plant materials are allowed to ferment, producing a dilute solution of ethanol in the process
-Spirits such as whiskey and rum are prepared by distilling these dilute solutions of ethanol
- Components other than ethanol, including water, esters, and other alcohols, are collected in the condensate, which account for the flavor of the beverage

Fractional distillation
-Used to separate a liquid-liquid mixture which is miscible
-Miscible liquids are 2 or more liquids that dissolve well in each other to form single continuous layer
STEPS
-Can only be used if the liquids have different boiling points
-The substance with a lower boiling point is distilled first
-A tall fractionating column filled with glass or glass beads is the fractional distillation
-It allows the separation of different liquids more efficiently
APPLICATIONS
-Separation of liquid air
-Separation of crude oil(or petroleum)
-Separation of ethanol from sugar solution

About me

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.
-My name is Leatrice
-I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee SHINee,EXO,BAP,Justin bieber n i have alot of biases
-I fangirl alot
-I love jellies,food that taste nice and the colour orange and turqoise
-I hate birds especially ducks,flowers,tuna,fish,the colour yellow,psy and many more(I hate alot of stuff)Ohhhh...and SIA cuz its hard but im trying to like it.
Theres alot about me so im not writing everything :D
For more enquires please please please just call me at(Imma not giving my number btw :D)
Since its a SIA website,Imma putting a really formal picture of Key<3(Member of SHINee<3
