Seperating Mixtures Flashcards
Physical change
No change in particles,just the particle arrangement and energy,easy to reverse e.g. mixing water and salt
Chemical change
A chemical reaction takes place and a new substance is formed, very difficult to reverse e.g. burning a match
During a chemical reaction
The atms rearrange to form new substance. Might be seen by colour change, tempature change, light being emitted or bubbles
Law of conservation of mass
The law of conservation of mass states that
matter cannot be created or destroyed but can
change from one form to an
Filtration
Used to separate small insoluble solids ( do not dissolve in liquid) from a liquid by using filter paper and a funnel to trap the solids
Evaporation
Used to separate soluble solids ( dissolve in liquids) from a solution by evaporating off the liquid to leave the solids
Distillation
Used to Seperate two liquids with different boiling points such as alchohol(boils at 78 degrees) and water boils at 100 degrees. Also used to seperate a soluble solid from a liquid e.g. seawater
Chromatography
Used to separate a mix of dissolved substances in a solution. E.g. the different colours in a black marker p168
Imsoluble
Does not dissolve in a liquid
Soluble
Dissolves in liquid
Residue
The soil left in the filter paper after filteration
Filtrate
The flea water hat comes after filteration
Evaporation
Used to Seperate a soluble solid from a liquid e.g. salt and water
Solvent
The liquid that a solid is dissolved into
Solute
The solid that is left behind after evaporation
