Two Types Of Mixtures A Heterogenous Mixture
Everything is made up of matter . Matter can either be a solid (example: gold), a liquid (example: hydrogen) or a gas (example: Hydrogen). Matter can be classified as either a mixture or a pure substance or a mixture. There are two types of mixtures a homogenous mixture and a heterogenous mixture. A homogenous mixture is a mixture that has been thoroughly combined and has been turned into a solution. A heterogenous is a mixture in which the particles has not been thoroughly combined. All mixtures can be separated to get the back to its original form - a pure substance. A pure substance is a type of substance that is made up of only one type of atom or one type of molecule. Examples of a pure substance can be oxygen gas, water , nitrogen gas, sugar and salt. Matter can also be classified as a mixture. A mixture is two or more substances combined to create a new substance an example of mixture would be oil and vinegar, Gatorade, coffee and salad. The metals that were used in the lab were , brass , copper, iron, and aluminum. Brass is not a pure substance because it is an alloy consisting of copper(cu) and zinc (zn). Copper is a pure substance and it is on the periodic table under the symbol Cu. Iron is also a pure substance and on the periodic table as Fe. Aluminum is another pure …show more content…
Chemical property is when during a reaction the chemical composition has changed. Chemical properties cannot be observed by viewing or touching the sample of the material. Example of chemical properties are toxicity, which is when you determine how much of that substance can ruin plants, animals, organs or other organisms. Another example of a chemical property is heat of combustion, which means how much energy is released when the substance is burned with oxygen . More examples of chemical properties are flammability, reactivity with other chemicals , chemical stability and oxidation

    BIOLOGY STUDY GUIDE CHAPTER 4– THE CHEMICAL BASIS OF LIFE Matter = anything that takes up space and has mass (major types of matter = solid, liquid, and gas) Any type of matter is made of one or more elements. o Element = a substance that cannot be broken down into other substances by regular chemical processes. (examples: gold, silver, mercury, etc.) There are approximately 25 elements necessary for life. • Examples: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorous, etc. • Trace elements = those elements that make up less than 0.01 percent of your body mass (examples: iodine, iron, copper, etc.) Compounds = a substance containing two or more elements; these elements are always present in this compound in the same ratio o For instance, water is a compound where hydrogen and oxygen are combined. The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in water is always 2:1. (Remember that the chemical formula of water is H2O.) o Compounds have different characteristics than the elements that make them up. (Water is liquid at room temperature, but when hydrogen and oxygen are by themselves, they are gases at room temperature.) Atoms = smallest possible piece of an element o A better definition of an atom may be: the most basic unit of matter that cannot be broken down into smaller pieces by ordinary chemical methods. o This can be confusing, because when you read the above definition or when you start looking at the periodic table in class, is oxygen an atom or an element? o An element is essentially the same as an atom. Why do we bother with two different words? • An element is the most common version of an atom. The element you see on the periodic table for oxygen is the most common version of the oxygen atom that exists in nature. There are several different kinds of oxygen atoms (with different numbers of neutrons than the one found on the table), but they are not as commonly found in nature. All atoms are made of even smaller…

    During this experiment students will take a mixture and separate it into its’ pure substances. A mixture is a combination of two or more substance. These substances cannot be combined chemically but more physically. The pure substances are substances that cannot be separated any more by physical means. The students will learn the difference of these two meanings during the experiment.…

    The most basic description that is universally understood, would be, that matter is made of atoms. Now in today’s “enlightened” world, this would be too simple of a statement to make categorically. It becomes necessary for us to take into account the advances in atom science and be able to qualify our statement. We must further state, that though matter is made up of atoms, they are no longer the smallest particles of matter. Let us begin a journey through time to be able to appreciate our understanding, of how the concept of the “smallest particle of matter” has changed over time. The first modern day proponents of the atomic theory…
