Types of mixtures - To determine hardness, scratch

- Moh’s hardness scale

Solutions
- Homogenous 5. Melting and boiling points
- Do not settle
- Allow light to pass through 6. Density
- Small particles - Ratio of a mass of a substance to
its volume
Suspension
- Heterogenous Chemical properties
- Layers over time - Produce change in the
- Settle over time composition
- Can be filtered
- Scatter light 1. Flammability
- Large particles - Burn in the presence of oxygen

Colloid 2. Reactivity
- Some particles are intermediate in
size 3. Precipitation
- Do not settle - Separate from a liquid mixture
- Cannot be filtered
- Scatter light Separation
- Medium-sized particles
1. Filtration and distillation
Physical property - Use filter paper
- Measurable, observable without - Separating solid from liquid
changing chemical composition
2. Distillation
1. Viscosity - Boiling point
- Tendency of a liquid to resist flow - Separate liquids
- Viscometer - Solids that are dissolved in liquids
- Affected by temperature

2. Conductivity
- Ability to allow heat or energy
- Metal
- Conductors
- Water is a conductor because of
ions

3. Malleability
- Ability of a solid to be hammered
without shattering
- Opposite: brittle
- Metals

4. Hardness
- Hardest: diamonds
