salt
• A method used to separate a
solvent from a solution
containing non-volatile solutes
• When a solution is boiled,
only the solvent vaporizes
the hot vapour formed
condenses
to liquid again on a cold
surface
• The liquid collected is the
distillate
• Salt is left behind
1. The condenser
cools down the
steam
2. The water drips

water
3. used to obtain
pure water from
sea water or ink
No chemical change occurs when salt water
is distilled.
Distillation
(physical method)
Salt
c. The fractional distillation of miscible liquids is only possible if the liquids have different boiling points. True/False
Nasreen
A summary of different techniques of
isolation and purification
Technique Aim
(e) Fractional To separate miscible liquids with
distillation widely different boiling points
(f) SublimationTo separate a mixture of solids in
which only one can sublime
(g) To separate a complex mixture of
Chromatography substances

Tests for
Purity
Nasreen
Tests for Purity
• If the substance is a solid,
its purity can be checked by
determining its melting point
• If it is a liquid,
its purity can be checked by
determining its boiling point
Nasreen
Determination of Melting
Point
• To determine the melting point of a
solid,
some of the dry solid is placed in a
thin-walled glass melting point
tube
• The tube is attached to a thermometer
• The temperature at which the solid
melts is its melting point
Nasreen
Determination of Melting
Point
• The presence of impurities lowers the
melting point of a solid
• Melting point is a useful indication of
the purity of a substance
Nasreen
Determination of Boiling
Point
• The boiling point of a liquid can be
determined by using the distillation
apparatus
• The temperature at which the liquid boils
steadily is its boiling point
• A flammable liquid should be heated in a
water bath, instead of heated with a naked
flame
Nasreen
Determination of Boiling
Point
• The boiling point of a pure liquid is
quite sharp
• The presence of non-volatile solutes
such as salts raises the boiling point
of a liquid
