Question
Chapter 2, Problem 79E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether the starting liquid is a pure substance or a mixture is to be stated. The evidence in the description leading to the result is also to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Pure substances are the single kind of molecules or compounds. Mixtures are a combination of two or more pure substances. Pure substances have a definite and fixed set of properties, on the other hand mixtures do not have a definite and fixed set of properties.

While creating a piece of art work, a student becomes curious about the ink he is using to create his art. He wonders if the in
is a pure substance or a mixture. The ink appears to be uniform throughout, but separates when a chromatography experimer
is performed on it, leaving multiple marks of different colors along the chromatography paper.
Using his observations of the properties of the ink, the student can classify it as a
heterogeneous mixture.
solution.
compound.
element.
1
A student mixes 1.0 mL of aqueous silver nitrate, AgNO3 (aq), with 1.0 mL of aqueous sodium chloride,
Nacl (aq), in a clean test tube. What will the student observe?
A silver mirror will coat the interior of the test tube.
Bubbles will form within the liquid mixture.
The mixture will remain colorless and transparent.
The mixture appears to be white and cloudy.
The mixture will remain colorless and transparent, but the test tube will feel hot.
Now, look for the description of these techniques and identify which can separate the following mixtures.
Two colorless liquids
