Secure Your Basics

Without referring to the textbook, try to answer these questions. If you cannot
answer a question, look up the relevant section in your textbook.

1. Which of the following processes allow you to obtain pure substances from the
mixtures?
I Evaporation
II Distillation
III Chromatography
A I and II B I and III
C II and III D III only ( C )

2. Which of the following methods is used to obtain desalinated water in Singapore?


A Distillation B Evaporation to dryness
C Filtration D Reverse osmosis ( D )

3. Which separation process below does not correspond to its use?


Method Use
A Chromatography Separate traces of dyes from ink samples
B Distillation Test trace levels of drugs in urine samples
C Evaporation to dryness Obtain sea salt
D Filtration Separate tea leaves from tea ( B )

4. Complete the following table with the suitable method used to obtain each substance
from the mixture:

Substance to obtain Separation Method


Sand from sea water Filtration
Sodium chloride from salt water Evaporation to dryness
Alcohol from beer Distillation
Permitted food dyes in sweets Chromatography
Water after boiling barley seeds Filtration

5. A chromatography was carried out on unknown samples M1 and M2 and on three
known dyes X, Y and Z. The results are shown in the chromatogram below.

M1 M2 X Y Z M1 M2 X Y Z

Before After

a) What dyes are found in M2?


Dyes Y and Z.

b) If M1 is made up of dyes X and Z, draw the spots to show the results for M1 after
chromatography is completed.

6. Outline how NEWater is obtained by reverse osmosis.


Sea water is pre-treated to remove debris and contaminants such as oil, grease and suspended solids. In

reverse osmosis, the pre-treated sea water is then pumped at high pressure through partially permeable

membranes to remove undesirable contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, most chemicals and dissolved

minerals.

7. How are the filter paper used in filtration and the partially permeable membrane
used in reverse osmosis similar?
Both filter paper and partially permeable membrane prevent certain particles to pass through.

Challenge Yourself • 10 min •

Attempt the following questions within the time allocated.

1. An ink sample on a forged cheque is dissolved in ethanol. How do you obtain a


concentrated sample of the ink to run a chromatogram?
A Heat the ink-ethanol mixture to evaporate some of the ethanol away.
B Evaporate the ink-ethanol mixture to dryness in an evaporating dish.
C Filter the ink-ethanol mixture.
D Shake the ink-ethanol mixture in a separating funnel. ( A )

2. A small slip of paper stained with ink is found at the scene of a crime. Why is
chromatography useful in analysing the ink?
Only small amounts are needed; it can separate the ink components to determine the source/make-up of

the ink sample.

3. Study the table below, which shows the properties of three substances.

Substance Effect of heat Adding water Adding alcohol


X Stable to heat Insoluble Dissolves
Y Decomposes Dissolves Insoluble
Z Sublimes Dissolves Insoluble

Substances X, Y and Z are mixed. Starting from the mixture, briefly describe how
you would obtain a dry sample of each of the following:

a) substance X
Add water to the mixture and stir to dissolve the soluble substances. Filter the mixture and dry the

residue.

b) substance Z
Heat the mixture in an evaporating dish with an inverted filter funnel placed above the dish.

Collect substance Z formed on the wall of the inverted filter funnel.
