Testing, Mixtures and Separation Flashcards
What is a Compound?
A substance that is chemically combined
What is a Mixture?
A substance that is physically combined
Dissolve
Mixes into the water, or another solvent, forming a solution
Solution
A mixture in which the particles of the different substances cannot be seen, and cannot be separated by filtration
Solvent
A liquid that dissolves a solute
Solute
the dissolved substance in a solution
Dilute
A small amount of solute in a large amount of solvent
Concentrated
A large amount of solute in a small amount of solvent
Dilution
Adding more Solvent to a set amount of solute (Making a solution more liquidy or runny)
Saturation
Saturated refers to a point of maximum concentration, in which no more solute may be dissolved in a solvent.
Magnetic Separation
Metals are attracted by magnets
Filtration Separation
Separating a liquid from a dissolved solid
Describe how evaporation worlks in a scientific experiment
Evaporation is used to separate a dissolvable solid from a liquid
What substance is removed during evaporation?
The solvent is removed, leaving the soluble solid
Distillation separation
Distillation can be used to separate a soluble substance from water when we want to retain the water
