Substances, Mixtures, and Separation Techniques
1. Pure Substances vs. Mixtures
- Distilled Water: Pure substance/compound
- Tap Water: Mixture/homogeneous
- Diamond: Pure substance/element
- Gasoline: Mixture/homogeneous
- Wine: Mixture/homogeneous
- Air: Mixture/homogeneous
2. Dalton's Theory
- Matter is made up of indivisible and indestructible atoms.
- All atoms of the same element are equal in mass and properties.
- Compounds are formed by the combination of different elements.
3. Separation Techniques
- Screening: Separates solid particles of different sizes. Instrument: sieve.
- Filtration: Separates solids from liquids. Instrument: filter.
- Evaporation: Separates solids from liquids when the liquid is not needed. Works best with homogeneous mixtures. The process is faster
