Mixture Properties
Mixture Properties
Some mixtures retain the original physical properties of their components because the substances do not chemically react with each other.
Iron Filings and Sand
Iron Filings and Sand
Combination of iron filings and sand where each substance retains its magnetic and granular properties.
Sand and Water Mixture
Sand and Water Mixture
A mixture where sand settles at the bottom if left standing.
Study Notes
- Mixtures involve the combination of two or more substances that are physically combined
- The substances in a mixture retain their individual identities and properties.
- Mixtures can be separated by physical means, such as filtration, magnetism, or evaporation.
Iron Filings and Sand
- Iron filings and sand form a heterogeneous mixture.
- Iron filings are small pieces of iron metal and sand is composed of tiny grains of minerals, mainly silica.
- The iron filings retain their magnetic properties in the mixture.
- The sand retains its texture and color in the mixture.
- A magnet can be used to separate the iron filings from the sand.
- The physical properties of both iron filings and sand are maintained.
- For example, if the sand is poured into the mixture, it will still pour like sand.
- For example, if the iron filings are exposed to a small current, they will react like iron filings.
- This demonstrates that the mixture maintains physical properties of its substances.
Sand and Water
- Sand and water form a heterogeneous mixture.
- Sand is composed of tiny grains of minerals, mainly silica.
- The sand retains its texture and color in the mixture.
- Sand is insoluble in water, meaning it does not dissolve.
- The water retains its properties as a liquid.
- The water remains wet and retains its boiling and freezing points.
- Sand will settle at the bottom of the container if left standing.
- The mixture can be separated by decanting the water.
- The mixture can be separated by filtering the sand from the water.
- The physical properties of both sand and water are maintained.
- For example, if the water is boiled, then it will evaporate like water.
- For example, if the sand is left in the sun, it will become hot like sand.
- This demonstrates that the mixture maintains physical properties of its substances.
Other examples of mixtures
- Oil and Water
- When oil and water are mixed, they form a heterogeneous mixture.
- The oil and water do not mix because oil is hydrophobic and has a lower density.
- The oil retains its oily texture.
- The water retains its properties as a liquid.
- The oil and water will separate into two distinct layers.
- The physical properties of both oil and water are maintained.
- For example, if the oil is exposed a flame, it will ignite like oil.
- For example, if the water is frozen, then it will turn to ice.
- This demonstrates that the mixture maintains physical properties of its substances.
- Salt and Gravel
- Salt and gravel form a heterogeneous mixture.
- Salt is composed of sodium chloride.
- The gravel consists of small pieces of rock.
- The salt retains its salty taste.
- The gravel retains its properties of small rocks.
- Sieving can separate the gravel from the salt.
- The physical properties of both salt and gravel are maintained.
- For example, if the salt is exposed to water, it will dissolve.
- For example, if the gravel is used to build a road, it will act like gravel.
- This demonstrates that the mixture maintains physical properties of its substances.
