Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Mixtures Quiz & Flashcards

Which type of mixture has evenly distributed components?

What is an example of a homogeneous mixture?

Which type of mixture has solid particles that will not settle to the bottom?

Which technique is used for separating solids from liquids by adding heat to cause the liquid to evaporate?

What is the simple version of chromatography where ink is placed on a piece of chromatography paper and a solvent is used to move the mixture components?

Which technique utilizes the difference in affinity between components and a stationary/mobile phase for separation?

What is the principle behind the process of crystallization?

Which method is suitable for separating a sand-water mixture?

What is the principle behind the process of dissolving in separation techniques?

How is manual separation different from other separation methods?

Milk is a colloid, a type of heterogeneous mixture, where butterfat globules are suspended in water.
Mixtures can be homogeneous or heterogeneous, and separating them depends on their components' properties.
Homogeneous mixtures require specialized separation techniques, while heterogeneous mixtures can often be separated by simple physical means.
Methods for separating mixtures include chromatography, distillation, evaporation, crystallization, filtration, dissolving, magnetism, and manual separation.
Chromatography is a separation technique that utilizes the difference in affinity between components and a stationary/mobile phase.
Paper chromatography is a simple version of chromatography, where ink is placed on a piece of chromatography paper, and a solvent is used to move the mixture components.
In paper chromatography, components of a mixture travel different distances from the starting point, depending on their affinity for the stationary and mobile phases.
Distillation is a separation technique for liquids, where components are separated based on their different boiling points.
Evaporation is a technique for separating solids from liquids, where heat is added to cause the liquid to evaporate, leaving behind the solid.
Sugar can be separated from a sugar-water mixture by heating, which causes the liquid to evaporate, leaving behind the solid sugar.
