Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Dirt has to be classified as a pure substance or a mixture.
Concept Introduction:
Matter can be classified into two type’s namely pure substance and mixture.
Pure substance: A single component that has a constant composition, irrespective of the
Example: Water, sugar etc.
Mixture: A mixture consists of more than one substance and the composition of a mixture is dependent on the sample. The separation of mixture into its components can be done by physical changes.

Interpretation:
Salad dressing has to be classified as a pure substance or a mixture.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
Tungsten has to be classified as a pure substance or a mixture.
Concept Introduction:

- You are given a hammer a battery, a bulb, wires and switch(a) How could you use them to distinguish between samples of metals and non metals?(b) Assess the usefulness of these tests to distinguish between metals and non-metalsarrow_forwardMusical instruments like trumpets and trombones are madefrom an alloy called brass. Brass is composed of copper andzinc atoms and appears homogeneous under an optical microscope.The approximate composition of most brass objectsis a 2:1 ratio of copper to zinc atoms, but the exact ratio variessomewhat from one piece of brass to another. (a) Wouldyou classify brass as an element, a compound, a homogeneousmixture, or a heterogeneous mixture? (b) Would it be correctto say that brass is a solution?
