Q

Distillation

A

A separating technique that heats the substance and makes it evaporate, usually used to separate solutions,

25
Q

Evaporates

A

Change of state from liquid to gas.

26
Q

Water Condenser

A

A test tube inside of a test tube that has water flowing along the outside of the inner test tube cooling down the fog in order to change the gas back into liquid.

27
Q

Condenses

A

Changes a state of gas to liquid.

28
Q

Distillate

A

The pure substance that is condensed at the end of the process.

29
Q

Distilled Water

A

Pure water that is collected by condensing steam.

30
Q

Crystallisation

A

When the solvent evaporates from the solution and the solute is left as crystals.

31
Q

Reverse Osmosis

A

A technique used when a fluid moves under pressure through a membrane from a high solute concentration to a lesser concentration, used to purify water.

32
Q

Osmosis

A

The process when using a membrane and one constituent can’t pass.

33
Q

Sustainable

A

When resources are stable and are not going to disappear for a long time.

34
Q

Paper Chromatography

A

Method of separating a mixture with different colours. The liquid soaks rough the paper and carries he mixture with it. Some substances are carried faster than others than other substances and are separated along paper.

35
Q

Plasma

A

A yellowish liquid that is obtained when centrifuged

36
Q

White Blood Cells

A

A cell that fights off sicknesses in your body, it requires a special filtration to separate it from the red blood cells.

37
Q

Platelets

A

The corks of the body that stop wounds from bleeding, can be centrifuged to separate platelets from the plasma.

38
Q

Red Blood Cells

A

The red blood cells help people spread oxygen around the body, which keeps them alive.

39
Q

Circumference

A

The outer boundary of a circular property.

40
Q

Sewerage

A

A system of drains and pipes that takes away sewage from a property.

41
Q

Sewage

A

The mixture of water and other substances that sends it into the sewerage system.

42
Q

Environment

A

Where living and non living things live and interact.

43
Q

Septic Tank

A

A sewerage treatment system that is place underground in backyards.

44
Q

Bacteria

A

The smallest life planet on Earth, they are major causes of infection and disease.

45
Q

Suspended

A

Hanging, not falling

46
Q

Filter

A

A device that lets liquid pass but particles too big remain at the top.

47
Q

Floatables

A

Substances that are less dense than water so they can float.

48
Q

Contaminated

A

Describes a useful substance that contains one or more other substances that affect its use.

49
Q

Flocculation

A

The process when you add a chemical to a suspension to make the particles weighted and fall to the bottom.

50
Q

Alum

A

A chemical added to a suspension to get the particles to fall to the bottom.

51
Q

Flocs

A

Particles heavy enough to fall to the bottom, not being able to float.

52
Q

Froth Floatation

A

The process used to separate mixture of mineral particles by adding a substance that floats to the top with one of the minerals attached.

53
Q

Gravity Separation

A

Like a centrifuge, shaking or spinning them, the heavier particles float to the bottom.

54
Q

Pollution

A

The introduction of harmful substances or products into the environment.

55
Q

Forensic Scientists

A

People who use methodical gathering and analysis of scientific evidence.
