Experiment 1 Separation of Mixtures Summary of Principles: Most of the materials we encounter in everyday life are not pure substances. Many materials such as sand are formed from physical combination of various substances‚ and are called mixtures. Mixtures can be classified into homogeneous and heterogeneous. The purpose of this lab is to learn how to separate individual components from a mixture through decantation‚ filtration‚ distillation‚ and crystallization. Pre-Lab Questions: Attached

Discussion of this experiment began with discussing how many materials we use today are actually mixtures of pure substances. The separation of these materials into their pure substances can be quite challenging. When we are discussing separations of a mixture that contains pure substances‚ it all depends on whether you can separate the substances by physical means. That means‚ utilizing each substances physical properties such as boiling point‚ melting point‚ and magnetism. Separation of a Mixture of

FIRE RESISTANT BALLOON: Materials - 1 matchbox - 1 candle - 1 yellow colored balloon - 1 blue colored balloon - Half a cup of water Procedure: 1. For this experiment‚ the independent variable is whether the balloon is filled with water or not. The dependent variable is what happens to the balloon when it is placed above the lit candle. This is determined by observing the balloon. The constants (control variables) are how much the balloon is inflated and the amount

LAB 4 – SEPARATION OF A MIXTURE OF SOLIDS Purpose: To determine and execute the separation of mixture of solids through different means. Examples are magnetisms‚ evaporation‚ and filtration. Observations and Experimental Data: Data Table 1: Experiment Data Grams Percent of mixture Iron filings 1.4 g 31.1 % Sand 1.3g 28.9 % Table salt 1.0g 22.2% Benzoic acid .8g 17.8 % Total 4.5g 100% Questions: A.

PURPOSE The purpose of this experiment is to become familiar with the separation of mixtures of solid and learn separation techniques based on the chemical properties of a substance. PROCEDURES 1. Separating out the Iron a. Use your digital scale to determine the mass of your weighing dish. b. Empty the entire mixture of solids from the plastic bag into the weighing dish and determine the gross mass of the total mixture and weighing dish. Compute the net mass of the mixture: this is equal

Heat on the pH of the Vegetable and Their Pigment PURPOSE The purpose of this experiment is to see how pH levels of certain vegetables change while being cooked in four different mediums (frying‚ boiling‚ steaming‚ roasting)‚ and how the varying pH levels change the coloring of the vegetables. We will analyze how the different method of cooking/heating changes the levels of pH. BACKGROUND INFORMATION This experiment is based around the different pigments in vegetables‚ of which we researched and

Separation exists between society and the penal system‚ and due to this‚ there is a grave lack of knowledge of what is happening in prisons and how we can improve the situation we currently have in regards to the prison system. There are major flaws within the penal system‚ and Angela Davis highlighted a main one in secrecy. We know based off of research that our prison population commonly consists of individuals who struggle academically (Petersilia‚ 2003‚ pg 32). Because of this lack of strong

Milgram experiment tells us about human and obedience. Humans are socially adapted to the society they live in and obedience is when a group humans follows the rule no matter wrong or right. Humans are usually obedient in most situations. That is due to teachings they receive. For example‚ when Hitler was killing groups of people‚ it was wrong; but the group of authority just listen to him and followed the rules. This situation was wrong and harmful but it was something that they just followed because

LS Separation of Mixtures and Solids Purpose: To become familiar with the separation of mixtures of solids Hypothesis: I will be able to separate the materials using a variety of different methods. First‚ separate the iron fillings using a magnet. Second‚ I will put the rest of the solution into water and separate the insoluble sand from the soluble salt and benzoic acid. Third‚ I will filter out the benzoic acid when crystalized. Lastly‚ I will evaporate the water away leaving crystallized

plant absorbs the more the plant is able to photosynthesize. This light is absorbed though pigments which have specific interactions with certain light waves (colors). The goal of my first experiment was to test the effect that which different colors have on photosynthesis‚ in other words the amount of oxygen that is produced. As previously mentioned‚ oxygen is a product of photosynthesis. In my second experiment‚ I tested whether light intensity has an affect on photosynthesis‚ in other words the release
