Mixtures Flashcards
What are mixtures
They are combinations of two or more elements and/ or compounds
How are the components put together
They are not chemically bonded together
How can the components be separated
Physical separation methods
What are all the separation methods
Hand sorting
Filtration
Distillation
Using a magnet
Evaporation
Sieving
Chromatography
Separating Funnel
Define Hand sorting
Particles with different appearances that can be handled
Define Filtration
One substance is a solid the other is a liquid or solution
Define Distillation
Substances with large difference in boiling points either two liquids or a solution or solutions or a solid dissolved in a liquid
Define using a magnet
To separate magnetic substances with a magnet from a non-magnetic substance
Define evaporation
When you separate liquids, with a much lower boiling point, from a solid that is dissolved in it
Define sieving
Separating smaller particles from a liquid or solid
Define chromatography
Particles of substances have different absorptions to a stationary phase
Define a separation funnel
Unmixable liquids with different densities
What is the boiling point of water and ethanol
100C and 78C
How do you test for oxygen
A glowing splint will reignite in the presence of oxygen
How do you test for carbon dioxide
When it is blown into clear lime water the lime water will become milky
