28
physical changes
do not change composition of substance
29
chemical changes
result in a new substance
30

32
how are mixtures separated
based on the physical properties of the components of the mixture
33
filtration
solid substances are separated from liquid solutions
34
solution
homogeneous mixture
35
chromatography
the separation, especially of closely related compounds, by allowing a solution or mixture to seep through an adsorbent (such as clay, gel, or paper) so each compound becomes adsorbed into a separate, often colored, layer
36
Distillation
uses differences in boiling points to separate a homogenous mixture into its components (separates two liquids)

66
accuracy
proximity of a measurement to the true value of a quantity
67
