What is meant by chemical composition?

Chemical composition is the chemical components that make up a substance.

15

What are listed in the periodic table?

Elements

15

What are the properties of a compound?

The properties of a compound are usually different from the elements it is made up of.

15

What are the properties of mixtures?

A mixture has the properties of the substances it is made up of.

15

How are the elements in a compound combined?

The elements that make up a compound are always combined in a fixed proportion by mass.

15

How are the elements and compounds in a mixture combined?

The components of mixtures are not mixed in any fixed proportion.

15

Can compounds be separated into their original elements?

A compound cannot be broken down by physical methods; this is because a compound is made up of different elements that are chemically combined.

15

Can mixtures be separated into their original elements?

When a mixture is formed, no chemical reactions occur. Hence, a mixture can be separated easily by physical methods.

15

What is a mixture?

A mixture consists of two or more different substances that are mixed, but not chemically combined.

15

What substances can make up a mixture?

a. Elements b. Compounds c. Both elements and compounds

15

What is a solute?

A solute is the substance that dissolves in a solvent.

15

What is a solvent?

A solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute.

15

What is a solution?

A solution is the mixture of the solute and the solvent.

15

What are suspensions?

A suspension is a mixture in which insoluble substances are suspended in a liquid or gas.

15

What is solubility?

Solubility is the ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent.

15

What are the three factors that affect solubility?

a. Nature of the solvent b. Nature of the solute c. Temperature
