Describe the characteristics of a mixture | physical blend of random amounts of parts that keep their characteristics |
"A mixture is a chemical bonding of two or more substances in any proportion" is this statement true or false? Explain | false, because it is a physical blend of random amounts |
Describe how a heterogeneous mixture and a homogeneous mixture differ from each other | you can see a heterogeneous mixture not a homogeneous mixture |
orange juice | hetero |
tap water | homo |
steel | homo |
air | homo |
blueberry muffin | hetero |
A substance and a pure substance | same |
A heterogeneous mixture and a solution | different |
A substance and a mixture | different |
A homogeneous mixture and a solution | same |
When 50 mL of alcohol is mixed with 50 mL of water, a solution forms. The volume of the final solution is less than 100 mL. Propose an explanation for this phenomenon. | they fill in each others empty spaces |
List three examples of substances. Explain why each is a substance. | oxygen, water, air, they're all substances because you can't add or take away |
How do mixtures and substances differ? | mixtures are random substances are pure |
Is it possible to distinguish between an element and a compound? Explain | yes because you can chemically break down a compound |
How are the properties of a compound related to those of the elements that comprise it? | properties of compounds are completely different than the elements that comprise it |
two colorless liquids | distillation |
a non-dissolving solid mixed with a liquid | filtration |
red and blue marbles of the same size and mass | manual separation |
iron fillings and sand | magnet |
sand and salt | add water, filter, and evaporate |
the components of ink | chromatography |
A chemistry professor has developed a lab task to give his students practical experience using basic separation techniques. He prepares a liquid solution of water and another compound. Name the technique you would use to separate the components. | distill it to keep the water |
