Exercise 2
Indicate the true statements, and correct the false ones.
1. The air is an example of a pure substance .
2. By evaporation ,a mixture like salty water can be transformed into pure substance .
3. Vinegar and water are two miscible liquids which can form a mixture with two phases.
4. Centrifuging is a separation technique used to separate the components of a
homogeneous mixture (solid-liquid) .
5. Two immiscible liquids form a heterogeneous mixture made of one phase.
6. In filtration, the residue is the substance that passes through the pores of the filter
paper.
7. A pure substance is a type of matter that has a fixed composition and cannot be
separated into simpler substances by physical means.
8. True or False: Saltwater is an example of a homogeneous mixture because salt and water
are evenly distributed throughout the solution.
9. A heterogeneous mixture has uniform composition, meaning its components are evenly
mixed and cannot be separated easily.
 10. Filtration is a separation technique that can be used to separate a soluble solid from a
liquid.
11. Distillation is a process used to separate components of a liquid mixture based on
differences in their boiling points.
12. Evaporation is a separation technique that can be used to separate a dissolved solid
from a liquid by heating the mixture and allowing the liquid to vaporize.
13. When you mix sand and sugar together, you can easily separate them using a magnet.
14. A solution is always a homogeneous mixture, while a suspension is always a
heterogeneous mixture.
15. Crystallization is a separation technique that involves allowing a solute to come out of
solution as crystals.
16. Chromatography is a separation technique that is commonly used to separate the
different pigments in ink.
