Answer 16

ex. ink

Question 17

solid colloids

Answer 17

are colloids having the dispersing medium in the solid phase. ex. Solid aerosol smoke, dust in air,
Styrofoam gas is suspended in a solid polymer matrix of
polystyrene

Question 18

Evaporation

Answer 18

Evaporation is the phase transition of matter from liquid to vapor. ex. saltwater to salt

Recrystallization

Answer 19

procedure for purifying compounds

Question 20

Distillation

Answer 20

is a separation technique that is applied for homogeneous liquid-liquid
mixtures. ex. Alcoholic beverages are made through distillation

Question 21

chromatography

Answer 21

a process in which a chemical mixture carried by a liquid or gas is separated into components as a result of differential distribution of the solutes as they flow around or over a stationary liquid or solid phase. ex. Creating vaccinations, food/beverage testing, drug/forensic testing, resin

Question 22

Manual picking

Answer 22

using your hands or

tongs can be done in separating the components

Question 23

sieving

Answer 23

takes advantage of
the difference in particle size of solids
ex. sifting a cup of flour

Question 24

Filtration

Answer 24

is a process of separating solids from liquids by

allowing the mixture to pass through a filtering material

Question 25

Sedimentation

Answer 25

is the process in which suspended solids will eventually | separate from liquids by gravity. ex. mixture of sand and water, sand settles down at the bottom

Question 26

Decantation

Answer 26

is the removal of the liquid component from the solid | sediment. ex. mixture of water and oil is present in a beaker

Question 27

Centrifugation

Answer 27

is a process in which the suspension is rotated at very high speeds ex. extraction of fat from milk

Question 28

What are some important applications of mixture | separations in commercial products?

Answer 28

petroleum industry water filtration system blood sample after centrifugation medicine tablets must first be purified before mixing with other components to form a solid homogeneous mixture.

Answer 32

do depend on sample size

Question 33

Intensive properties

Answer 33

do not depend on the quantity of matter
