பாட குறிப்புகள்
Chromatography
- Chromatography separates different substances in a mixture.
- A spot of ink is placed on chromatography paper and the paper is placed in water.
- Water rises up the paper and acts as a solvent.
- Ink is made of different dyes that are soluble in water.
- As water rises, it brings dyes up the paper; different dyes move at different rates.
- Dyes that travel the same distance up the paper are the same dye.
The three steps of a paper chromatography experiment: spotting the sample on a pencil baseline, lowering the paper into solvent below the baseline, and analysing the separated spots on the chromatogram.

Simple Distillation
- Simple distillation separates a liquid from a dissolved solid (e.g., salt from seawater).
- A Bunsen burner heats the mixture; the liquid evaporates, leaving the solid behind.
- Vapour travels through a condenser where cooling water passes.
- The cool condenser condenses the vapour back to liquid, collected as distilled water.
- This method can also separate liquids with different boiling points.
Simple distillation of salty water: water vapour rises from the flask, passes through the condenser (cooling water in at the beaker end, out at the flask end), and is collected as pure water.

Key Terms
- Soluble: able to dissolve in a solvent.
- Solvent: a liquid that dissolves a substance (e.g., water in chromatography).
- Evaporation: change from liquid to gas.
- Condensation: change from gas to liquid.
Common Misconceptions
- In chromatography, ink is not the solvent; water is the solvent.
- Chromatography separates mixtures, not elements in a compound.
- Salt cannot be filtered from seawater because salt dissolves; distillation is needed.
Application: Separating Liquids
- If two liquids have different boiling points, the one with the lower boiling point evaporates first.
- Example: Liquid A (boiling point 100°C) will evaporate before Liquid B (300°C).
Fractional distillation of a water/ethanol mixture: the fractionating column allows repeated condensation and evaporation so the lower-boiling ethanol distils off first.

States of matter: solid, liquid, gas. Evaporation (liquid to gas) and condensation (gas to liquid) are key in distillation.
