A

physical

27
Q

27 Is a material that melts over a range of temperatures likely to be a mixture or a pure substance?

A

mixture

28
Q

any suitable, tie hair back, tuck tie in, wear safety specs

29
Q

29 What do we call the change of state from a liquid to a gas?

A

evaporation

30
Q

30 Name a mixture that could be separated by filtration?

A

any suitable e.g. sand and water

31
Q

31 What is a pure substance?

A

any from: cannot be separated by physical means; same composition throughout; same properties throughout; constant chemical composition

32
Q

32 What is the difference between a mixture and a compound?

A

in a compound, different elements are joined chemically

33
Q

33 Is salty water a mixture or a compound?

A

mixture; strictly, a mixture of two compounds, water and salt

34
Q

34 How can you separate sand mixed with salty water?

A

filtration

35
Q

35 Why can’t you use filtration to get the salt from salty water?

A

salt has dissolved; pieces are too small

36
Q

36 How can you get salt from salty water?

A

evaporate the water; crystallisation

37
Q

37 What is the scientific name for a mixture like salty water?

A

solution

38
Q

38 What is the term used for the liquid in a solution?

A

solvent

39
Q

39 What is the term for the substance that has dissolved in the solution?

A

solute

40
Q

40 How can you identify a pure substance on a chromatogram?

A

only one spot/colour

41
Q

41 What are the three states of matter?

A

solid, liquid, gas

42
Q

42 What word describes a solid that dissolves in a liquid?

A

solute or soluble

43
Q

43 What name is given to a liquid that will dissolve a particular solid?

A

solvent

44
Q

44 What is the boiling point of water?

A

100 °C

45
Q

45 How can we separate an insoluble solid from a liquid?

A

filtration

46
Q

46 What word describes the clear liquid that comes through the filter paper?

A

filtrate

47
Q

47 Is mineral water pure or impure?

impure (it contains dissolved salts)

48
Q

48 What process takes place when a liquid turns into a gas?

A

evaporation

49
Q

49 What process takes place when a gas turns into a liquid?

A

condensation

50
Q

50 What process takes place when a liquid is changing from a liquid to a gas throughout its volume (not just at its surface)?

A

boiling (evaporation is the surface process)

51
Q

51 Which of these, if any, is pure water? Mineral water, tap water, seawater.
