    In this video, we look at how we can use chromatography to identify the compounds in a mixture. We also look at how we can identify an unknown compound by calculating the Rf value.

  • @zetasky

    I read on Khan Academy that the spot that travels farthest was most attracted to the mobile phase, because the different substances in the mixture’s composition are attracted to the stationary and mobile phases in different proportions, causing them to move at different rates up through the paper. That's different to what you said just before 2:46 . I'm a bit confused, could you explain please?

  • @oliviaelliott1333
    @oliviaelliott1333 6 років тому +1

    I know my grade isn’t that impressive but I got a 5 overall in my science mocks. I got a 7 in physics, a 4 in biology and I did awful in chemistry and got a 2 but that isn’t surprising when I didn’t have a chemistry teacher for two years. However, I truly believe I can pass science purely because of your amazing videos I got two grades above my target:)

      @Freesciencelessons  7 років тому +2

      Thanks for the comment. Here's the answers to your questions.
      1. All the GCSE videos for the current (outgoing) spec are finished. The videos for the new specification will be finished over the next twelve months. I think that answers question 4 as well.
      2. The revision guides link to the videos so I'll roll them out every few months (the first one should be around Christmas). They won't be free but they won't be expensive.
      3. The revision guides will be for the new specification.
      Hope that's ok. Good luck with your assessments.

      Hi and thanks for the comment. You'll find videos covering all of the topics in the old GCSE spec (around 300 videos). Look through the playlists on my channel and you'll find what you need. If anything says 9-1, then that's for the new spec but there are only about 20 videos for that.

    Why is it higher the solubility the further it moves up the paper?

    • @50hzking81
      @50hzking81 6 років тому

      It depends on the solvent being used. For example, If a substance is not soluble in water(solvent) It wouldn't move up because it doesn't dissolve in water, trying with another solvent may work!

    Hi sir, I am currently in y11 and am trying to revise for paper 2. I am trying to write a method for this practical, and I was wondering whether I need to specify how to find the midpoint of each spot (i.e do you specify to find half of the spot’s vertical height using a ruler). Thanks for all of your videos, they have really helped me revise.

    • @Freesciencelessons
      @Freesciencelessons  Рік тому +2

      I cannot predict exactly what the examiners will accept but I would say that it's worth specifying how to determine the midpoint (at least that way, you've been specific). Best wishes for paper 2.
