concentrate

A solution with a large amount of solute in the solvent

100

chocolate chip cookies are an example of what kind of mixture?

heterogeneous

100

Give an example of a homogeneous mixture

any mixture that you can't see the different substances (milk, toothpaste, solutions, salt water)

100

What is an alloy?

Metals which have been dissolved into other metals to form a metal solution.

100

The closest thing to a universal solvent is ________

water

200

Compound

Substance made up of two or more different elements combined chemically

200

explain why raisins both sink and rise in soda?

they sink because they are more dense; they rise because of the carbonation

* soda is a super saturated solution that is unstable

200

give an example of heterogeneous mixture

any mixture where you can see the different substances (chocolate chip cookie, milkshake, sand, dirt, salad dressing, cereal in milk, salad, etc.)

200

list 3 methods used to separate the components of mixtures which have been physically combined.

Sifting, magnetism, and chromatography

200

Water is a _______ molecule, which makes it able to attract both positively and negatively charged substances and dissolve them, but oil is _______, or neutral, and therefore it won’t dissolve in water.

polar; nonpolar

300

A mixture where larger particles are mixed into smaller particles, with the

larger particles are suspended throughout the mixture

Suspension

300

explain why to use soap when washing oil off your hands

Water doesn't dissolve oil. Soap is both nonpolar and polar so one side sticks to the surface of the water and the other side sticks to the oil.

300

give an example of a compound

sugar, water, clouds, carbon dioxide, baking soda, etc.

300
explain the Tyndall effect

When a beam of light passes through a colloid, the Tyndall effect causes the beam of light to be easily seen

in the solution.

300

Describe the taste of the chocolate milk as a diluted solution and as a concentrate?

The diluted solution didn't have much taste, however the concentrate had a stronger (better) flavor.

400

Two or more substances that have been combined, with each substance keeping its original chemical identity the same

Mixture

400

Explain why most jewelry is made of alloys.

Precious metals are soft. Mixing it with other metals makes it stronger so it won't bend easily. 

400

Give an example of a colloid

milk, fog, emulsions, gel, aerosol, foam

400

what is the difference between concentrate & a saturated  solution?

a concentrate has a large amount of solute in the solvent; but it becomes saturated when no more solute can dissolve in the solvent

400

which one of the methods of separating mixtures would have been used in the gold rush?

sifting (panning for gold)
500

Something being dissolved

Solute

500

Explain the lab where we separated fat globules in a colloid.

Putting heavy whipping cream in a jar, shaking the jar separeted the fat globules from the homogeneous mixture. The fat globules attached to other fat globules, creating butter.

500

give an example of an alloy

white gold, sterling silver, bronze, titanium, brass, steel

500

explain the process of chromatography

mixtures separate as they move across a certain material that attracts the components differently. 

500

what does "chromatography" mean?

color writing (Greek)
