I. Objectives: 1. Show how mixture is formed. 2. Describe ways of Separating Mixtures. II. Subject Matter: Mixture Reference: Science for Daily Use 4 A. Science Concept A mixture is a combination of two or more different substances where their individual characteristics are maintained. Ways of separating mixtures are: evaporation‚ filtration‚ sieving‚ sifting‚ straining‚ winnowing and through the use of magnets. B. Processes Stressed- Observing‚ and Describing C. Materials:

order to gain stability with each other (Larsen). To have stability which each other‚ the atoms share electrons so that their outer electron shell is equal. Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions (Larsen‚ 2010). Element that have a positive ion are able to bond with elements with negative ions. This is because the elements share the electrons so that the ionization becomes neutral and both atoms

Submitted: 02/06/2013 Section 1: Title Physical and Chemical Properties Section 2: Purpose This labs is intended to help me investigate chemical and physical properties of pure substances. Section 3: Procedure In this experiment‚ I observed substances in their natural state‚ and recorded their apparent physical properties. I then tested the substances to determine how they react when their natural environments were altered. The pure substances were tested to see how they reacted with added Hydrochloric

I‚ Pd 11‚ Station K Evidence of Chemical Change Purpose To observe several chemical changes (reactions) and the evidence they exhibit for chemical change. Data See page 3 Analysis The two terms that describe possible energy change in a chemical reaction are Exothermic‚ for example when a gas is formed when Copper II Chloride and Aluminum are mixed‚ and Endothermic‚ for example when copper II Hydroxide is heated. There are many substances used in this experiment‚ the elements

Stephany Matos Chem Lab: Chemical Equilibrium Lab 52 Synopsis Iron (III) ions react with thiocyanate ions (SCN-) to form iron (III) thiocyanate‚ FeSCN2+. It is represented in the equation below: Fe3+ (aq) + SCN- (aq) FeSCN2+ (aq) Therefor the equilibrium constant for this reaction is: KC = [FeSCN2+]/([Fe3+]•[SCN-] For this experiment we were able to determine the equilibrium constant KC for this reaction. First we prepared five different mixtures with known initial concentrations of

The ball mill is mainly used to grind materials in mineral‚ cement‚ refractory‚ chemical industry‚ etc. Ball Mill has dry and wet ways. When wet Ball Mill works‚ certain water and other liquid will be added into materials to increase flowability of materials‚ so the capacity is increased. When dry Ball Mill works‚ capacity is affected because material flowability is reduced‚ so absorbing wind device is needed on the outlet of Ball Mill‚ and then negative pressure is formed in the Ball Mill to increase
