Some Analytical Techniques — Class 11 Maharashtra HSC Chemistry revision notes
A 4-page visual revision sheet for Some Analytical Techniques, written for Class 11 Maharashtra HSC Chemistry. Formulas, diagrams and the traps that cost marks, laid out to be read the night before rather than the term before. Free, and it opens inside CapCompass.

Some Analytical Techniques in one look
purifying and separating what a mixture is hiding
Filtration and Crystallisation
insoluble impurity removed by filtration: residue stays on the paper, filtrate passes through
suction filtration: Buchner funnel plus vacuum pump, faster, used for hot filtration
a safety bottle sits between flask and pump, keeps filtrate out
crystallisation: dissolve near-saturated hot, filter hot, cool to crystallise, filter again for pure crystals
the leftover filtrate after crystallisation is the mother liquor
a good solvent dissolves little cold, plenty hot
it must not react with the compound, and is volatile enough to remove
the usual solvents: water, ethyl or methyl alcohol, acetone, ether
copper sulphate, benzoic acid and common salt are all crystallised from water
purification exploits a difference in physical properties, e.g. filtration exploits solubility
the everyday version: tea leaves out of a decoction, sand out of sandy water
A Good Crystallisation Solvent
Cold vs hot: little dissolves cold, plenty dissolves hot
These notes are not a standalone PDF. CapCompass plans Chemistry chapter by chapter against your real exam dates and free hours, and when the plan reaches Some Analytical Techniques the sheet opens inside the study block itself — at the page covering the sub-topic that block is on, with the timer still running. Revision arrives at the moment the plan says revise, instead of having to be gone looking for.
