Identify The Relationship Between Mixtures And Physical Differences

523 Words3 Pages

The first hypothesis that I wrote, which states that I would be able to separate the components of a mixture and identify the relationship between mixtures and physical changes if I used the components’ differences in characteristic properties and the three processes of sublimation, filtration, and evaporation, is true. Firstly, I was able to separate the components of a mixture into its three components: sand (SiO2), Ammonium Chloride (NH4Cl), and salt (NaCl). I was able to accomplish this by taking advantage of the characteristic differences of the three substances (sand does not dissolve in water while salt does and ammonium chloride is the only substance in the mixture that goes through sublimation when heated), and applying that knowledge to the usage of sublimation, filtration, and evaporation as tools to separate out the substances from the mixture. …show more content…

Since I was able to separate out the sand (SiO2), Ammonium Chloride (NH4Cl), and salt (NaCl) from a mixture using physical changes, it stands to reason that a mixture is composed of substances that have been physically combined; therefore, the mixture is able to be separated using physical changes. Furthermore, my second hypothesis, which states that I would be able to calculate the percentage of each substance and the approximate mass of each substance in the mixture if I measured the mass of the mixture before and after it goes through sublimation, filtration, and evaporation and subtracted the after values from the before values, is partially true. For one thing, I was able to find the masses of sand (SiO2), Ammonium Chloride (NH4Cl), and salt (NaCl) to be 6.158 grams, 1.222 grams, and 2.620 grams respectively. This is because I subtracted the measured before and after values for each substance as it was eliminated from the mixture through sublimation, filtration, and

The experiment helped show the physical and chemical properties when they turned into one kind of matter. This experiment also made the students understand and execute vacuum filtrations and extractions. The chemistry behind separation techniques is crucial in order to isolate certain elements so they can’t be changed in the chemical reaction. One form of separating mixtures is evaporation.

The first experiment tested if the it responded to the environment. To test this factor, the vial substances were tested to watch and observe how they respond in hot and cold water. Vial B responded to the environment when we added the hot water and the cold water. It was cohesive and in both tests it was observed how drastic the changes were from the beginning of the experiment to the end. Where in Vial A, it stayed separate for both tests.

Beneath Our feet Experiment 1: We put different types of rocks in to three piles that were called Igneous, Metamorphic and Sedimentary. Igneous comes from a volcano. Metamorphic is heat and pressure and Sedimentary is a mixture of conglomerate, fossils and layers. Experiment 2: We put chalk and 3 spoons of sand into a cup and shook it really hard. Some of the sand turned pink which was the colour of the chalk.

The objective of the sludge lab was to determine how many different pure substances were in the sludge by using the methods and techniques we have learned throughout the year. We had to pick separation methods so we could separate our sludge and then test characteristic properties on our separated liquids and solids. This experiment made us use our knowledge on characteristic properties to pick the ones we should test to help us identify our pure substances. Characteristic properties are properties that help identify a solid or liquid. Each solid or liquid has a certain density, boiling point, solubility, flammability, so if you know what each one is then you can use that information to help you identify your solid or liquid.

Precipitate is solid material that forms when chemical reactions happen. Reagents are basically compounds that react. Temperature, color, fume, and precipitate changes are possible changes noticeable in chemical reactions. Conductivity Testing Multimeters test direct current, or DC voltage, which is a galvanic current. It measures electric charge like a battery.

Observations: As the ice (solid H O) was being heated up, the ice went through a process of melting/fusion and then eventually, the melted ice changed into boiling water (liquid H O). In other words, examining water (a system) undergo a physical change. The temperature (example of a physical property) is a great indicator for describing this specific sample/experiment. The overall

IR spectra were collected for the given sample, SMH, as well as many provided sweet substance that could have been the composition of the unknown sample. Each spectrum was collected from 700 cm-1 to 1600 cm-1. The unknown sample IR is shown in Figure A. The goal of this experiment was to determine the composition of this unknown sample. To do this, we obtained IR spectra of Sugar Free Vermont maple syrup, honey, agave, Karo, Mrs. Butter-worth’s maple syrup, molasses, and pure maple syrup.

Air, baking soda, and ink are examples of homogeneous mixtures. Bronze is also a homogeneous mixture because it is a solid mixture, known as an alloy. Heterogeneous mixtures does not dissolve easily or spread evenly, making it easy to identify the different properties from each region and to separate. Colloid and suspension substances fall under this category. With granite, dirt, and fruit loops, their initial substance could be identified and physically separated without changing it

Also, salt is an ionic compound and not a polar covalent compound, even though it did not melt last, due to the fact that the elements Na and Cl, both lose or gain an electron and then bond because of their opposite charges, which is a property only ionic bonds possess. The wax was the only substance whose results were synonymous with my hypothesis, since it required a low temperature for its melting point and was not soluble in water, both properties of nonpolar covalent compounds. Potential sources of error included not labeling the spots each substance was placed in the aluminum foil boat, seeing as the result for sugar seemed to be the correct conclusion for salt and vice versa. A future experiment would involve individually testing each substance in an aluminum foil boat, of the same brand, on a heat plate in order to avoid uncertainty. Each substance should be timed to record the precise time each substance began to melt or burn.
