Matter Classification: Pure vs. Impure Substances

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic property of pure substances?

Elements can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions.

What property of metals describes their ability to be drawn into wires?

Matter is classified into two main types: _______ and impure.

Match the following types of matter with their descriptions:

Why is the fixed proportion of elements crucial in the formation of a compound?

A scientist discovers a new substance that is lustrous, conducts electricity, and is easily shaped into different forms. However, when struck, it produces a dull thud rather than a ringing sound. Based on these properties, the substance is MOST likely a highly impure form of:

If a cup of sugar is added to water and stirred until it completely dissolves, the resulting substance is an example of a homogenous mixture because the sugar spreads evenly throughout the water, and the boundaries between the sugar and water are not visible. However, if one were to add an additional 5 kilograms of sugar to the same amount of water, and found that much of the sugar refuses to dissolve, and instead settles at the bottom of the container, the resulting container can still be described as a homogenous mixture. Is this true?

Which of the following is a characteristic of a heterogeneous mixture?

Compounds can be separated by physical means.

What is the term for a homogeneous mixture?

The component present in a smaller quantity in a solution is called the ______.

Which formula is used to calculate mass by volume percentage?

If 40g of KCl is dissolved in 200g of water, what is the concentration of the solution?

Increasing the temperature always decreases the solubility of a solute in a solvent..

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a suspension?

What is the Tyndall Effect, and which type of mixture exhibits it?

Explain the underlying principle behind how increased kinetic energy, resulting from higher temperatures, enhances the solubility of most solids in liquids. What best articulates this phenomenon's relation to Le Chatelier's Principle, especially when considering the dissolution of an endothermic solid?
