A student says that they don’t need to learn about separating mixtures because only chemists and people who work in chemistry labs separate mixtures. How would you correct the student? GIVE TWO EXAMPLES OF WHEN YOU WILL USE THIS IRL
answers will vary
T/F All matter is either a pure substance or a solution.
F
define: heterogenous mixture and homogenous mixture
heterogenous mixture - can see different parts
How would you separate clay and water
Filtration
T/F Magnetism is a separation method often used to separate two solids
T
T/F Using evaporation, a solid portion of a mixture can be recovered from the liquid
T
a student poured salt into their glass of juice by accident. Can they remove all the salt by pouring the juice through a filter? Explain why or why not.
NO, needs to be evaporated
Which of the following separation methodswould be the bestway to separate a mixture of salt and water? (a) magnetism (b) distillation (c) filtration (d) evaporation
d) evaporation
Ethanol boils at 79 °C. Water boils at 100 °C. Would distillation be an efficient way to separate the mixture?
YES, BUT ONLY BECAUSE THE BOILING POINTS ARE FAR APART. distillation can be used when the liquids have a difference of boiling point >10

BONUS
Wheat grains might arrive at a flour mill mixed up with stones, sticks, and so on. What kind of mixture is this?
mechanical mixture/heterogeneous
BONUS
T/F According to the particle theory, all matter is made up of tiny particles that do not move.
F
