Naturally occurring metals Copper, silver, gold and platinum are the four most un-reactive metals. This means that they do not form compounds and can exist as simple lumps of the metal in the rock. They can be found native. These are easy to extract since they can be mined. Also, you can even find pieces of gold in streams. More reactive metals are not found in lumps and must be extracted from the rocks in which they occur. Roasting in oxygen For all this extraction processes, the rock must

Purity of a substance report Create a report describing the factors that influence the purity of a substance. It is important that chemical substances are as pure as possible. This reduces the chances of unnecessary side-effects and helps ensure an accurate dose in each tablet/substance. The purity of a substance or compound can be established by using data from its melting point or boiling point and from thin layer chromatography. Impure compounds have a range of melting and boiling points, as

Suppression is a technique that plays an integral role in ion exchange chromatography as well as conductivity detection. It is commonly used in the detection and analysis of molecules such as ions as well as organic acids. There are numerous factors behind its popularity and effectiveness. These factors includes its ability to decrease background conductivity of the eluent which aids in the accuracy of result, minimizing of baseline noises which enables smoother analyses, optimization of signal to
