Transcript of Classification of Matter. Pure Substances every sample has the same characteristic properties &...
Pure Substances every sample has the same
characteristic properties & composition
ELEMENTS one type of atom
Ex: iron (Fe), gold (Au), oxygen (O) (anything off the periodic table)
COMPOUNDS2 or more types of atoms:
Ex: salt (NaCl), sugar (C6H12O6), water (H2O)
Mixtures2 or more substances that aren’t
chemically combined and can be separated by physical means
each component keeps its own identity and properties
Homogeneous Mixtures uniform in
composition so NO visible parts
also called a solution
Ex: vinegar air salt water brass
brass
Brass is any alloy of copper and zinc
Heterogeneous Mixtures
NOT uniform in composition so you CAN see visible parts
Ex: soil concrete blood chocolate chip
cookies sand in water soda
Physical Separation Techniques
Filtration- solid part is trapped by filter paper and the liquid part runs through the paper
Vaporization- where the liquid portion is evaporated off to leave solid
Physical Separation Techniques Decanting- when
liquid is poured off after solid has settled to bottom
Centrifuge- machine that spins a sample very quickly so that components with different densities will separate
Physical Separation Techniques
Paper Chromatography- used to separate mixtures because different parts move quicker on paper than other
PracticeDetermine whether each of the following is element, compound, homogeneous mixture or heterogeneous mixture.
air zinc chlorine granite aluminum sugar in water blood sucrose stainless steel sodium chloride
brass whole milk apple table salt soft drinks vinegar concrete sodium baking soda (NaHCO3) gravel
