    Separating Mixtures: States of Matter

    Uploaded by

    Roberto Ferreira
    This document discusses states of matter, mixtures, solutions, and methods for separating mixtures. It defines key terms like solid, liquid, gas, mixture, dissolve, evaporation, crystal, solute, solvent, and solution. It also provides examples of mixtures that are solutions, like salt water, and those that are not, like a mixture of salt and sand. Methods for separating mixtures discussed include screening, filtering, floating, using magnets, and evaporation.

    Separating Mixtures

    Mixtures & Solutions


    Investigation 1

    States of Matter
    definite volume &
    Solid
    shape

    definite volume,
    Liquid
    but not shape

    no definite shape
    Gas
    or volume

    All have mass & occupy space


    States of Matter
    definite volume &
    Solid shape

    definite volume, but


    Liquid not shape

    no definite shape or
    Gas volume

    All have mass & occupy space

    Mixture

    any t wo or more materials that are combined


    ingredients can be separated
    Mixtures don’t have to be made by a person.
    Separating a Mixture
    screening
    filtering
    floating
    using a magnet
    evaporation

    Dissolve

    the process of a material becoming


    incorporated uniformly into another
    Evaporation

    The process of a liquid drying up.


    The change of state from a liquid to a gas.

    Crystal

    A natural form of a substance. Crystal


    shape is also a physical property that helps
    to identify a substance.
    Solutions are mixtures,
    but mixtures aren’t
    always solutions.

    1.2
    Solubility
    The ability of one substance to spread out
    uniformly throughout another substance.

    solute solvent solution


    1.2
    Solubility
    The ability of one substance to spread out
    uniformly throughout another substance.

    Separating a Solution
    How can you separate a solution?
    Separating a Solution
    How can you separate a solution?

    When a solution evaporates,


    it leaves the dissolved solid material behind.

    Salt Crystal

    Solution

    A solution forms when a solute (solid)


    dissolves in a solvent (liquid).
    Solutions are transparent mixtures.
    Salt & Water
    Mixture or Solution?

    Salt & Water


    Mixture or Solution?

    Mixture Solution
    t wo or more salt dissolves and
    ingredients mixed the water stays
    together clear

    BOTH
    A MIXTURE & SOLUTION
    Liquid. Solution. Water.
    What’s the difference?

    liquid water solution

    Liquid

    a state of matter that has mass, occupies space, has


    definite volume, but flows to fill a container up
    Water

    a specific kind of liquid

    Solution

    a mixture in which one material seems to disappear


    into another. Water solutions occur when a
    material (solid) dissolves in water.
    Separating Mixtures
    A cup contains gravel, salt and powder.
    How can you separate the three?

    1. Add water to the dry mixture.


    2. Place an empty cup below the funnel with filter paper
    inside and place the screen over the funnel.
    3. Pour the mixture through the filter over the funnel to
    capture:
    •Gravel in the screen
    •Powder in the filter paper &
    •Salt solution in the cup
    4. Pour some salt solution in an evaporation tray to
    evaporate the water and leave behind the salt.
