Summary of “BASIC ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES IN 1 SHOT | Chemistry | Class11th | Maharashtra Board”

This educational video covers fundamental analytical chemistry techniques as per the Maharashtra Board Class 11 syllabus. The instructor explains key separation and purification methods used in chemistry, focusing on their principles, apparatus, procedures, and practical applications.

Main Ideas and Concepts Covered

1. Introduction to Analytical Chemistry

Analytical chemistry involves analyzing substances to identify their components. There are two main types of analysis:

Qualitative Analysis: Identifying what substances are present.
Quantitative Analysis: Measuring how much of each substance is present.

The video focuses on basic analytical techniques used to separate and identify substances.

2. Filtration

Filtration is used to separate solid impurities from liquids and is commonly seen in water purification (e.g., water filters, RO purifiers).

Apparatus: Funnel, filter paper, container.

Procedure: - Wet the filter paper and place it in the funnel. - Pour the mixture (e.g., sand and water) into the funnel. - Solid particles (residue) remain on the filter paper. - The liquid that passes through is called the filtrate.

Filtration under suction: A faster method using a Buchner funnel, vacuum flask, and aspirator to speed up filtration by creating suction.

3. Crystallization

Crystallization is used to purify solid substances containing impurities. For example, purifying salt obtained from sea water.

Steps: 1. Preparation of Saturated Solution: Dissolve the impure solid in a suitable solvent until no more dissolves. 2. Hot Filtration: Filter the hot saturated solution to remove insoluble impurities. 3. Cooling of Filtrate: Allow the filtrate to cool slowly so pure crystals form. 4. Final Filtration: Separate crystals (pure substance) from the solvent containing soluble impurities.

Important Points: - Solvent choice depends on solubility behavior (solubility should increase with temperature). - Solvent must not react with the substance. - Volatile solvents (e.g., water, ethyl alcohol, acetone) are preferred.

4. Fractional Crystallization

Used to separate two or more solids with different solubilities in the same solvent.

Process: - Prepare a hot saturated solution of the mixture. - Perform hot filtration to remove insolubles. - Cool the filtrate to precipitate the less soluble substance first. - Filter out the first solid. - Reheat and cool again to separate other substances.

Repeated crystallization helps separate substances based on differences in solubility.

5. Distillation

Distillation separates liquids based on differences in boiling points.

Types: - Simple Distillation: Used when boiling points differ significantly. - Fractional Distillation: Used when boiling points are close.

Apparatus: Round-bottom flask, thermometer, condenser, receiver.

Process: - Heat the mixture to vaporize the liquid with the lower boiling point. - Vapors pass through the condenser and liquefy. - Collect the distilled liquid (distillate) in the receiver.

Distillation under reduced pressure: Used for liquids that decompose at their boiling points by lowering the pressure to reduce boiling temperature.

6. Solvent Extraction

Used to separate organic compounds dissolved in aqueous solutions.

Principle: “Like dissolves like” — organic compounds dissolve better in organic solvents than in water.

Procedure: - Mix aqueous solution with an organic solvent in a separating funnel. - Shake and allow layers to separate (aqueous and organic). - Organic layer contains the extracted compound. - Repeat extraction multiple times (continuous extraction) for better yield.

Separating funnel is used to separate the two immiscible layers.

7. Chromatography

A technique to separate components of a mixture based on differential affinities toward stationary and mobile phases.

Phases: - Stationary phase: Does not move (solid or liquid). - Mobile phase: Moves and carries components along.

Types Discussed: - Adsorption Chromatography: Stationary phase is solid (e.g., alumina, silica gel). - Column Chromatography: Mixture passes through a column packed with stationary phase; components elute at different rates. - Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC): Stationary phase is coated on a plate; solvent moves upward carrying components. - Partition Chromatography: Stationary phase is liquid (e.g., paper chromatography where water trapped in paper acts as stationary phase).

Procedure: - Spot mixture on stationary phase. - Allow mobile phase to move through stationary phase. - Components separate based on affinity.

Detection: - Colored compounds can be seen directly. - Non-colored compounds detected using UV light or spraying agents (e.g., ninhydrin for amino acids).

Retention Factor (Rf): [ R_f = \frac{\text{Distance travelled by substance}}{\text{Distance travelled by solvent (mobile phase)}} ]

Rf values are always less than 1.
Used to identify substances and check purity.
