1. True/False [11] a. After crystallization a salt must be washed True b. Azbestos are used to control the heat supplied False c. Fractional distillation is done for immiscible liquids False d. In fractional distillation the temperature of the liquids must be equal False e. A leibig condenser is used to heat the water. False f. The thermometer bulb must be placed at the mouth of the condenser. True g. In order to separate crystal salt from salt solution, simple distillation must be done. False h. Decantation is done to separate liquids with different densities. True i. Centrifugation allows heavier particles to settle at the bottom. True j. A locating agent is used to speed up the chromatography process. False k. Using different solvent would yield different Rf values. True 2. What is water of crystallization? Also write down the chemical formula for with water of crystallization for the following [2 + 5] a. SodiumCarbonate b. SodiumSulphate c. CopperSulphate d. IronSulphate e. MagnesiumSulphate

SEE NOTES

3. Sharif accidentally mixed two chemicals and they formed a mixture. [1+8+3+2] a. How can he separate the two mixtures? Fractional distillation b. Label the parts in the diagram and add any missing piece to it:

c. What is the purpose of the fractionating column? See Notes d. Write two safety precautions. Thermometer bulb at the mouth of the condenser and Use Asbestos for equal heating 4. Skibkhan wants to prepare pure crystals of CopperSulphate. Write down the steps he must follow to make salt crystals from powder salt. How can the purity of water be tested by this powder? [4+1] Dissolving Filtering Evaporating to saturation point Water Bath Wash with water Add copper(ii)sulphate to water, turns blue, therefore pure, otherwise NOT! 5. In chromatography test a sample of a blood was to be analyzed. a. List two reasons why chromatographs are done [2] Identifying and separating dyes Identifying different components b. Component A traveled a length of 8mm while component B traveled 14mm. The solvent was soaked to a level of 25mm. Determine the Rf values of A and B. [4] A = 0.32 and B = 0.56 c. A table of known Rf values for certain drugs are given below. Determine if the athlete is clean. [1] Xanthines 0.10 0.16 Methylphenidate 0.44 0.48 NRIs 0.28 0.33 Cocaine 0.88 0.95 The athlete is not clean has used NRIs - 0.28 0.33 as the sample falls with in its range. d. It was found out that the athlete actually used one drug. Suggest why the test failed to detect this and propose two alternatives two to detect the drug. [1+2] The component could be transparent two alternatives 1. using ultra-violet ray to detect the sample 2. using a color reagent e. Unfortunately, the lab assistant forgot to set the thermostat to an appropriate temperature for the samples collected and hence the samples gave wrong Rf values. Write down three other factors that affect the Rf values? [3] Chromatography medium Solvent Concentration and purity Amount of sample present on the chromatograph paper
