The chemistry of art

Describe the Bohr model of the atom, and identify ONE merit and ONE
limitation of the model.

(d)

Chemistry

(i)

Name a transition element.

(ii)

Outline a first-hand investigation to demonstrate the colour changes of a

named transition element as it changes in oxidation state.

(iii)

Describe a safety risk associated with the procedure outlined in part (ii),
and suggest a safe work practice to minimise the risk.

With reference to TWO pigments, explain how the metallic components produce
colour.

(c)

Assess the usefulness of distinguishing tests for carbohydrates and metal ions
used in the school laboratory, compared with technology used by forensic
chemists in laboratories, for the same purposes.

(d)

During your practical work you performed a first-hand investigation to identify

the range of solvents that may be used for chromatography to separate and
identify mixtures.
(i)

Define the term chromatography.

(ii)

Outline the procedure used in your investigation, and describe the results
obtained.

(iii)

Describe precautions used to prevent contamination of forensic samples,

and explain why they are needed.
