        (i) Chromatography
        Chromatography is a technique used to separate the components present within a mixture. Chromatography separates substances by making use of differences in their polarity or molecular size.
        (ii) Volumetric analysis
        Titration is used to determine, accurately, the volumes of solution required to reach the end-point of a chemical reaction. An indicator is normally used to show when the end-point is reached. Titre volumes within 0.2 cm³ are considered concordant.

        pH
        The pH scale is an indication of the hydrogen ion concentration and runs from below 0 to above 14.
        Acidic solutions have a higher concentration of H⁺(aq) ions than OH⁻(aq) and have a pH below 7.
        Alkaline solutions have a higher concentration of OH⁻(aq) ions than H⁺(aq) ions and have a pH above 7.
