Unit Project Documenting the Scientific Method Separating Mixtures Project Separating Mixtures: How can you separate salt water to make pure and drinkable fresh water? Design and build a device to separate a mixture of salt water into its components. For example‚ what device could you build to get the most drinkable water from salt water if you were on a stranded island in the middle of the ocean? Gather data on the amount of water collected and the purity of the water‚ which can

Lab 2: Separation of Mixtures and Solids Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to become familiar with the separations of mixtures and solids. Pre-lab predictions: Data: Data Table 1: Experiment Data | | Grams | Percentage of Mixture | Iron Filings | 2.0g | 26.67% | Sand | 1.6g | 21.33% | Table Salt | 2.4g | 32.00% | Benzoic Acid | 1.2g | 16.00% | Total | 7.5g | 96% | Observations: While the water was boiling with the three solids (salt‚ benzoic acid‚ and sand) the water got

09/18/2012 09/19/2012 Title: Separation of Mixtures and Solids Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to practice the process of separating mixtures of different solids. Procedure: This experiment consisted of different processes to separate a mixture of solids into the four individual solids: sand‚ benzoic acid‚ iron fillings‚ and sodium chloride. To remove the iron fillings from the mixture I used a magnet and scanned it across the entire mixture and the magnet forced picked up all the

Quantitative Separation of a Mixture Lab Pre-Lab Questions: 1. Define the following: Physical Change Heterogeneous Mixture Sublimation Filtrate Residue 2. List two physical separation methods. 3. List the formula for determining percent composition by mass. Objectives: 1. to separate a three component mixture and 2. determine the percent composition by mass of each component in the mixture. Materials: Ammonium chloride (NH4Cl)‚ Sodium chloride (NaCl also known as

Introduction Atoms‚ molecules‚ compounds and mixtures‚ although they may not seem it‚ are different. Atoms make up all of the above and elements. They are made an equal amount of protons and electrons. Molecules are made when two or more atoms connect chemically. Like molecules‚ compounds are made when two or more atoms connect chemically. Unlike molecules‚ the atoms need to be two or more different elements. Mixtures are made of two or more compounds or elements. Mixtures can look completely the same when

What is the particle theory? The particle theory says that that matter consists of many small particles with spaces in between. The particles are constantly moving‚ the higher it’s temperature‚ the faster they move. All the particles are attracted to each other. The particles move faster and move further apart when heated‚ and the reverse when cooled. Each substance has unique particles that are different from the particles of other substances. Particle theory helps to explain the behaviour of

Separation of Mixtures This experiment performs the quantitative separation of thecomponents of a mixture. A mixture is the mixing of two or more substancestogether. The proportions of the components in the mixture can be varied.And the resulting mixture can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous‚depending on the properties of components such as solubility.In this experiment‚ you are going to separate a water-solublecomponent from water-insoluble components. The heterogeneous mixture isplaced

The Separation of Mixtures This lab demonstrates the difficult task of separating mixtures using different types of methods. This study is performed because it helps you understand the concept of separation and certain characteristics of elements. Previous knowledge in which already exists in this lab would be the process of filtration‚ distillation‚ magnetism‚ and evaporation. The specific hypotheses of this experiment was that the iron would separate through magnetism‚ the salt would separate

SEPARATION OF MIXTURE OBJECTIVE: To separate the components of a mixture based upon physical characteristics of each component within the mixture. Secondly‚ to determine the mass of each component by using the knowledge of separation techniques.
