Separating Mixtures
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| heterogeneous | not identical throughout, not well mixed. |
| homogeneous | identical properties throughout, well mixed. EX: Salt water. |
| straining | separate matter by size, strainer has holes & matter smaller than holes passes through while those larger than the holes stay in strainer. |
| filter paper | A kind of strainer, it separates tiny pieces of solids from liquids. |
| using a magnet | separates iron parts from mixture. |
| evaporation | change of liquid to gas at surface of the liquid, best used for homogenous mixture. |
| dissolving | when a solid matter disappear into a liquid. |
| solution | special mixture where the particles of one substance are evenly mixed with the particles of another substance. |
| solutions have 2 main traits | particles are too small to see, molecule (groups of atoms) size. |
| liquid solutions formed when solids, liquids, and gasses dissolve in liquids. | All solutions are not liquids .air is a solution of gases .Steel is a solution of metals known as alloys. |
| alloys | when two pure metals or more are mixed together. |
| Solutes | substances that is being dissolving in water. Ex: Salt, Sugar. |
| solvent | substance that does the dissolving Ex: Water |
| solubility | maximum amount of substance that will dissolve in a given quantity of a solvent at a given tempature. |
| insoluble | not able to dissolve in water |
| chemical makeup | solvent can determine solubility or insolubility of a substance. |
| water molecules are polar, which has one end of a positive charge and the other a negative charge. | it is the universal solvent because many solutes dissolve in it. |
| dilute and concentrated | describe relative amounts of solute and solvents in a solution. |
| dilute solution | has very little solute compared to solvent, it is a weak solution. |
| concentrated solution | has a large amount of solute compared to solvent, it is a strong solution. |
| unsaturated | contain less dissolved solute than it can hold at a given temp. |
| saturated | contains all of the solute it can hold at a given temp. |
