1. A mixture (shown below) contains the following components: (1) salt, (2) water,
and (3) gasoline. Discuss the separation techniques needed to separate the
mixture back into its individual components.
gasoline
saltwater
In a common laboratory experiment in general chemistry, students are asked to determine the relative amounts of benzoic acid and charcoal in a solid mixture. Benzoic acid is relatively soluble in hot water, hut charcoal is not. Devise a method for separating the two components of this mixture
Read the descriptions below of two substances and an experiment on each. Decide whether the result of the experiment tells you
the substance is a pure substance or a mixture, if you can.
• Sample A is 100. g of a coarse grey powder with a faint unpleasant smell. 15. g of the powder is put into a funnel lined with
a sheet of thick paper. Distilled water is poured slowly over the powder. All of the powder disappears, and the water under
the funnel turns a deep purple.
• Sample B is a solid yellow cube with a total mass of 50.0 g. The cube is ground to a fine orange powder and added to a
500 mL beaker full of water. The beaker is stirred vigorously. Some of orange powder settles to the bottom of the beaker,
and some rises to the top and floats on the water. When the powder at both the bottom and the top of the beaker is filtered
out, dried, and weighed, the total mass is measured to be 50.1 g.

- In Chapter 3, we learned that all matter is composed of atoms. In this chapter, we learned that most common substances are either compounds or mixtures of compounds. How can these both be true? Explain.arrow_forwardhat do the coefficients of a balanced chemical equation tell us about the proportions in which atoms and molecules react on an individual (microscopic) basis?arrow_forwardIn each case, describe the change as a chemical or physical change. Give a reason for your choice. Salt dissolves when you add it to water. Food is digested and metabolized in your body. Crystalline sugar is ground into a fine powder. When potassium is added to water there is a purplishpink flame and the water becomes basic (alkaline).arrow_forward
- Suppose someone emptied ball bearings into a container of salt. Could you separate the ball bearings from the salt? How? Would your method involve no change, be a physical change, or be a chemical change?arrow_forward(For Exercises 4546) Solutions containing nickel(II) ion are usually bright green in color. When potassium hydroxide is added to such a nickel(II) solution, a pale-green fluffy solid forms and settles out of the solution. The fact that a reaction takes place when potassium hydroxide is added to a solution of nickel(II) ions is an example of a properly. . The fact that a solution of nickel(II) ion is bright green is an example of a property.arrow_forward3.83 For the reaction of nitrogen, N2, and hydrogen, H2, to form ammonia, NH3, a student is attempting to draw a particulate diagram, as shown below.

(d) Pure carbon occurs in different forms: graphite, diamond, and fullerenes.arrow_forwardPlease answer number 6arrow_forwardFor each of the changes, decide whether two or more elements formed a compound or If a compound decomposed (to elements or other compounds). Explain your reasoning in each case. a) upon heating, a blue powder turned white and lost mass b) A white soil forms three different gasses when heated. The total mass of the gases is the same as that the solid.arrow_forward
- Is distillation a good method for separating a mixture of water and hexane? Why or why not?arrow_forwardFrom your initial observations, you suspect that the two beakers contain the same compound. Describe, in general terms, some experiments in a laboratory that you could do to help prove or disprove that the beakers contain the same compound. would it be easier to prove that the compounds are the same or to prove that they are different?
