An pure substance consists of only __________ type of particles throughout. 

one 

100

A mixture consists of matter that contains ______________ pure substances chemically bound to each other. 

two or more

100

In heterogeneous mixtures, particles are distributed ________________. 

unevenly. 

100

The definition and example of a solvent.

Solvent: A substance that dissolves a solute (ex., water)

100

Anything that takes up space and has mass.

Matter

200

True or false: Iron is an pure substance. 

True. 

200

What is the definition of a solution? Is it Homogeneous or Heterogenous?

A homogenous mixture of 2+ substances (ex., salt + water)

200

What is another term we can use for homogeneous mixtures?

Solution

200

The definition and example of a solute

A substance that dissolves in a solvent (ex., salt)

200

All matter is made up of ___________________. 

many tiny particles that we can not see

300

What are Particles? 

Particles are the smallest unit of matter, we can also think of them as the building blocks of matter.

300

True or false: Sodium is a solution. 

False! 

Sodium is a pure substance.

300

Provide 3 examples of heterogeneous mixtures. 

Good work!

300

What is saturation? How can you tell when a solution is saturated?

What happens when you add more solute to a solution than a solvent can handle. The solute will build up on the top or bottom and no longer dissolve.

300

All __________ are made up of the same kind of particle (atom). 

Pure substances

400

What does it mean to dilute a solution?

Add more solvent to the solution

AND/OR

Reduce the amount of solute inside a solution

400

Is distilled water a pure substance or a mixture?

Distilled water is a pure substance because it is composed solely of water molecules (H20) and has a uniform and definite composition. The distillation process removes dissolved substances like minerals and salts, making it different from tap water, which is a mixture.   

400

Is a heterogeneous mixture chemically combined? 

*hint* Think about solutions.

No. Heterogeneous mixtures are combined but not chemically like solutions. 

400

Does mixing oil and water create a homogeneous mixture? Why or why not?

Mixing oil and water creates a heterogeneous mixture because we can see the oil and the water.

400

True or false: The particles in boiling water are moving slower than the particles in an ice cube. 

False. 

Particles at higher temperature move faster than those at lower temperature. 

500

What is the most common element in the universe?

Hydrogen. 

500

What does it mean to concentrate a solution?

Add more solute to the solution.

AND/OR

Reduce the amount of solvent in the solution.

500

If a person has a coffee with milk, a Caesar salad, trail mix and a yogurt for lunch, which of the these are heterogeneous mixtures?  

Caesar salad and trail mix are heterogeneous mixtures. 

500

4.

5.

6.

  1. Sorting

  2. Sifting

  3. Filtration

  4. Evaporation

  5. Magnetism

  6. Distillation

Are you more likely to get a flat bike tire in the summer or winter?

Summer.

Bike tires expand in the heat due to the air inside expanding, which increases pressure and can lead to a higher risk of flats or blowouts.
