Chemistry

TermDefinition
Pure substances (example) Substances which have a definite and fixed composition, ie, elements and compounds.
Compounds Forms of matter that consist of two or more different elements that are chemically combined in a definite whole number ratio.
Mixture Forms of matter that consist of two or more different elements which are not chemically combined and occur in any ratio. They are not chemically combined and are able to be separated by physical techniques, eg filtration, distillation or chromatography.
Hetereogeneous (example) Mixed unevenly -eg. Concrete, orange juice, clay, wood
Homogeneous Mixed evenly-eg. Air, sea water, soft drinks, brass, these are also known as solutions
Common properties of pure substances (hint, there are 5) Fixed composition- cannot be separated by physical means Constant boiling and melting points Fixed density Well-defined and constant chemical properties
Sieving Separating components of a mixture based on particle size. Mixture is passed through a mesh that filters out larger particles depending on the size of the mesh.
Filtration and evaporation Separates the substances in a mixture based on their differing solubility and volatility. While sieving and filtering are similar, the size of the holes are different. (normal filtration paper has a hole size of 2-25 micrometers)
Microfiltration Separates substances in a mixture based on their size. Microfiltration uses a hole size of 100-1000 nanometers. Can filter muddy particles and microorganisms like bacteria and protozoa.
Ultrafiltration and nanofiltration Used to filter smaller particles and viruses, molecules and ions. Pore size 0.5-5 nanometers.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
