Mixtures Flashcards
What are the many forms of pure substances?
-atoms
-molecules
-giant structures
Compound
a substance that requires of 2 or more elements combined together, creating an chemical bond which is hard to separate
Mixture
a substance that requires of 2 or more elements combined together, creating a physical bond which can be easy to separate
Particle
Atoms chemically to one another representing an amount of a substance
What things do you need to know about a molecular substance to find out whenever a substance is molecular or not?
-The substance is made of non-metals
-The substance is made up of more than one non-metal (and/or) has a subscript number in it’s formula
name all of the halogens
Hydrogen
Nitrogen
Oxygen
Fluorine
Chlorine
Bromine
Iodine
chromatography
Separation of dissolved materials depending on their solubility in the solvent used e.g. water.
Crystallisation
The process of producing crystals from a solution by slowly evaporating the solvent.
Decanting
Separation of a solid from a liquid by careful pouring.
Simple Distillation
The process of separation that depends on substances in a solution or mixture having different boiling points.
Evaporation
Separation of a solid from a liquid by heating.
Filtrate
The liquid or solution that passes through a filter.
Filtration
The process of separation that uses a filter to separate a solid from a liquid.
Fractional distillation
The technique for separating liquids in a mixture due to their similar boiling points.
Immiscible
When two liquids don’t mix and instead form two layers e.g. oil and water.
Impure
A substance that contains more than one type of particle, not chemically bonded to one another.
Insoluble
When a substance can’t dissolve in the solution
Miscible
When two liquids mix.
Pure
Contains only one type of particle.
Residue
The solid that is kept back by the filter in filtration
Saturated
A solution in which no more of the solute will dissolve.
Soluble
Can dissolve in a solvent.
Solute
The solid in the solution
Solution
The result of a solute dissolving in a solvent.
