1st
PERIOD
STEP I: The teacher explains
sublimation
8. Sublimation: To separate a
mixture of solids containing one which sublimes and one (or more than one) which
does not, by heating the mixture.
8.
An
cotton-stoppered inverted funnel is placed over the mixture. When the mixture
is heated, the heat-liable solid sublime and turn into a gas, and travel to the
top of the inverted funnel. Once the hot gas touches the cooler funnel, it
solidifies back into a solid. The solid can then be scrapped off and collected
in another container from the funnel.
STEP II: The teacher explains
magnetization and paper chromatography
9. Magnetization or Magnetic Attraction: This method
involves the separation of magnetic substances from non-magnetic substances by
means of a magnet.
10. Paper Chromatography: Used to
separate a mixture of solutes (or liquid) with different solubility and degree
of adsorption. This method uses a porous or absorbant medium (e.g. paper or
jel) and a solvent which can move over the material. This method is commonly
used for separating a mixture of dyes in ink or different types of sugars (e.g.
glucose, fructose, sucrose).
EVALUATION:
The teacher evaluates the students by asking the following questions.
i.
Give two examples of compound that sublime
ii.
Explain magnetization
iii.
How can you explain chromatography in your own word.
2nd PERIOD
STEP I: The teacher explains separating
technique
11. A separating funnel: This is
a glass funnel with a tap at the bottom. A separating
funnel is a separation technique that is used for two liquids that do not dissolve in each other.
Liquids that do not dissolve in each other are called immiscible. The mixture of liquids is placed inside the separating funnel and a container is put beneath. The liquid with the lower density floats on top.
Applications:
- To
separate a mixture of oil and water.
- To
separate a mixture of kerosene oil and water.
When the tap is
opened, the liquid with the higher density starts to flow through
the separating funnel into the container. The tap is
then closed just before the liquid with
the lower density starts to flow through. The liquid with the lower density remaining in the separating funnel can then be drained into a different container to separate the two liquids.
STEP II: The teacher explains precipitation
12. Precipitation: Precipitation is a process in which a solid is separated from a
suspension, sol, or solution. In a suspension such as sand in water the solid
spontaneously precipitates (settles out) on standing. In a sol the particles
are precipitated by coagulation. A solute (dissolved substance) may be
precipitated from a solution by several means. A solution of salt may be
concentrated by evaporation until the salt crystallizes. When a saturated solution
of sugar is cooled, sugar crystals form. The addition of a solution of silver
nitrate to a solution containing chloride ions results in the formation of
insoluble silver chloride: AgNO3+Cl-→NO3-+AgCl↓.
In each case the precipitate formed may settle out spontaneously or may be
collected by filtration or centrifugation. It is often difficult to obtain a
pure substance by a single precipitation, and a substance may be further
purified by reprecipitation after it has been redissolved. The term precipitation is
also applied to the separation of particles of a solid or liquid suspended in a
gas.
13. Centrifugation: Sometimes the solid particles in a
liquid are very small and can pass through a filter paper. For such particles,
the filtration technique cannot be used for separation. Such mixtures are
separated by centrifugation. So, centrifugation is the process of
separation of insoluble materials from a liquid where normal filtration does
not work well. The centrifugation is based on the size, shape, and
density of the particles, viscosity of the medium, and the speed of rotation.
The principle is that the denser particles are forced to the bottom and the
lighter particles stay at the top when spun rapidly.
The apparatus used for
centrifugation is called a centrifuge. The centrifuge consists of a centrifuge
tube holder called rotor. The rotor holds balanced centrifugal tubes of equal
amounts of the solid-liquid mixture. On rapid rotation of the rotor, the
centrifuge tubes rotate horizontally and due to the centrifugal force, the
denser insoluble particles separate from the liquid. When the rotation stops,
the solid particles end up at the bottom of the centrifuge tube with liquid at
the top.
Applications:
- Used
in diagnostic laboratories for blood and urine tests.
- Used
in dairies and home to separate butter from cream.
- Used
in washing machines to squeeze water from wet clothes.
EVALUATION:
The teacher evaluates the students by asking the following questions.
i.
What method is used to separate
two immiscible liquids
ii.
What process does centrifugal is
required
3rd PERIOD
STEP II: state
the method involves in determining whether a substance is pure
three
methods that can be used to determine whether a substance is pure.
• Melting point comparison
• Boiling point comparison
• Chromatography
STEP II: The teacher states the
characteristics of a pure solid or liquids
characteristic
of a pure solid and liquid: They are identify by a Fixed melting point
STEP II: : The teacher states how impurities affect a solid or liquid
How impurities affect a solid’s melting point?
• Impurities lower the melting
point.
• Impurities cause the solid to melt
over a range of temperature.
.
How impurities affect a liquid’s boiling point?
• Impurities raise the boiling
point.
• Impurities cause the liquid to
boil over a range of temperature.
Relationship
between the amount of impurities in a substance and the substance’s melting /
boiling point?
• The greater the amount of
impurities, the lower the melting point.
• The greater the amount of
impurities, the higher the boiling point.
Evaluation:
The teacher evaluates the lessons by asking the following questions:-
(i)
State two methods that can be used to
determine whether a substance is pure
(ii)
State one method each how impurities affect
solid melting and liquid boiling
(iii)
