Types of Mixtures
Solution
What type of mixture has particles that are evenly distributed and cannot be seen with the naked eye? Something has dissolved in something.
Filtration
What separation technique is used to separate a solid from a liquid using a filter?
Solute
What term is used to describe the substance that dissolves in a solvent to form a solution?
Magnetic separation
What separation technique uses a magnet to separate magnetic materials from a mixture?
Independent variable
What term is used to describe the variable that is intentionally manipulated or changed in an experiment to study its effect on the dependent variable?
Suspension
What type of mixture has particles that are temporarily mixed and will eventually settle at the bottom?
Evaporation
What separation technique is used to remove a liquid from a solution by heating it until the liquid turns into gas?
Solvent
What term is used to describe the substance that dissolves a solute to form a solution?
Decanting
What separation technique involves pouring off a liquid to separate it from a settled solid or denser liquid?
Dependent variable
What term is used to describe the variable that is measured or observed in an experiment to see how it responds to changes in the independent variable?
Colloid
What type of mixture has particles that are evenly distributed and do not settle but are larger than those in a solution?
Distillation
What separation technique is used to separate two liquids with different boiling points by heating the mixture and collecting the gas?
Concentration
What term is used to describe the amount of solute in a given volume of solvent in a solution?
Centrifugation
What separation technique uses a spinning force to separate substances with different densities, like solids and liquids in a suspension?
Controlled variable
What term is used to describe a variable that is kept constant throughout an experiment to ensure a fair test and accurate results?
Immiscible
What term is used to describe two liquids that do not mix together, like oil and water?
Crystallization
What separation technique is used to form solid crystals from a solution by allowing the solvent to evaporate slowly?
Dilute
What term is used to describe a solution with a low concentration of solute?
Sieving
What separation technique is used to separate particles of different sizes by passing them through a mesh or perforated surface?
Replicate
What term is used to describe repeating an experiment multiple times to ensure consistent results and minimize the effects of random errors or variations?
Miscible
What term is used to describe two liquids that mix together evenly, like alcohol and water?
Chromatography
What separation technique is used to separate the components of a mixture based on their ability to move through a stationary phase?
Saturated
What term is used to describe a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature?
Gravity separation
What is a method of separating components of a mixture based on the differences in their specific densities?
Mean
What is calculated by adding up all the data points and then dividing the sum by the total number of data points?
