I am the state of matter that has particles furthest apart

Gas

Which separation technique is best for separating the mixture of jelly beans and m&m's

Hand separation

100

Name the 2 types of mixtures 

Homogeneous- heterogeneous 

100

Define what a soluble substance is and provide an example of a substance that is soluble in water

A soluble substance is a solute that can dissolve in a solvent. salt, sugar, instant coffee, baking soda, honey.

200

My particles can slide past one another 

Liquid

200

Explain how filtration works 

separates solid particles from a liquid by passing the mixture through a material that blocks the solids while letting the liquid through.

200

What is a pure substance, provide 1 example

A pure substance is an element or compound that is made of only 1 type of particle cannot be separated via physical methods - H2O- Gold - Silver - Oxygen - Hydrogen - CO2 - Salt 

200

Define what an insoluble substance is and provide an example that is insoluble in water

An insoluble substance is a solute that cannot dissolve in a solvent. Sand, oil, rocks, plastic

300

Describe the nature of Solid particles- SEA

S- particles have little to no space

E- have little energy but vibrate in place

A- A lot of attraction between particles 

300

List all 7 separation techniques

Hand separation

filtration

decanting

sifting/sieving

magnetic

evaporation

distillation

300

What is a mixed substance, provide 1 example

A mixed substance is made of 2 or more different substances that are physically combined although not chemically combined - Salt water, cereal, sand and water- coffee 

300

Define rate of dissolution

Rate of dissolution is how quickly a solute can dissolve in a solvent 

400

List 4 ways states of matter can change phase, name of process and what they change to and from

Solid - liquid = melting

liquid - solid = freezing

liquid - gas = evaporation

gas - liquid = condensation

400

How does distillation allow you to separate 2 solvents from a mixture 

By evaporating the solvent with the lowest boiling point and then condensing it back into a liquid leaves you with both the solvents 

400

What type of mixture is cereal

Heterogeneous 

400

A mixture that contains an excess amount of solute to the solvent is called

A saturated mixture  

500

Explain why gases can be compressed but solids can't

Gases can be compressed because there are large spaces between their particles, so the particles can be pushed closer together. Solids cannot be compressed because their particles are already packed very closely together, with very little space between them.

500

If you had a mixture of salt, sand and rocks in water explain how you would recover ALL materials. Needs to be in order and recovers everything 

Hand separation - to get rocks out of mixture

Filtration - to allow the water to pass through and trap the sand

Distillation - to evaporate the water and recover it through the distillation condenser. this will also leave the salt in the original beaker

500


A - pure

B - mixture

C - mixture

D - mixture

Heat, Agitation (stirring), Increasing surface area of solute
