1. Performance Enhancing Drugs and Chemical Analysis Can you name the sporting persons? What do these sportsman have in common? How did the world know? The Ben Johnson Story (click on the link-you will have to register)

2. Questions 1. Give the names of 3 performance enhancing drugs available to the modern athlete and give a brief description of how they improve the athletes performance. 2. Name some of the methods chemists use to detect these drugs David Millar Story (Click on the link)

3. Questions 3. One of the most important methods is GC-MS (Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy). What does this method involve and use a simple diagram to illustrate your points. 4. Some sports people and scientists suggest that performance enhancing drugs should be legalised. What are you feelings about this and why?

4. A spot of the mixture is placed on some filter paper. In method A, the solvent is soaked up the paper. The substances in the mixture get separated because more soluble substances spread along the paper faster. Chromatography is used to separate mixtures of coloured or non-coloured substances that are soluble in the same solvent. Paper chromatography is the simple method of doing this. spot of mixture solvent Paper Chromatography

5. Chromatography Experiment

6. The mixture consists of dyes 3 and 5. Identifying dyes in a mixture Dots of known single dyes are placed alongside the dot for the unknown mixture. After the solvent washes through the paper, the pattern of the dyes in the mixture is compared with the single dyes. Which dyes does the mixture consist of? Chromatography can be used to find out if a dye is made up of a single coloured substance or a mixture. 1 2 3 4 5 6 mixture 1 2 3 4 5 6 mixture
