Separating mixtures: rock salt LO: to separate mixtures that dissolve and don’t dissolve in water What happens to sugar cube when you drop it into your tea? Try to draw a particle diagram to explain this?
Dissolving
A solvent with an insoluble substance is called ___________ Dissolving things – some definitions If a substance CAN be dissolved it is called __________ If a substance CANNOT be dissolved it is called _________ Words – soluble, solute, solvent, solution, insoluble, suspension
A pure substance contains just one type of particle. A mixture contains at least two different types of particle. It’s a trick question – they’re all mixtures! Do you know why? A liquid can be pure or a mixture. 7H Mixtures and solutions - Is it pure or is it a mixture? Which of these liquids is a mixture?
Planning an experiment: You have a beaker full of rock salt (sand and salt). You want to separate the mixture so you have only salt. Look at the diagrams below and use them to write a step by step method explaining how to separate salt from rock salt. Show your method to Ms. Lee, then you can start the practical
1)Weigh 5 spatulas of rock salt before you begin? 2)Crush the rock salt using a pestle and mortar? 3) Put the crushed rock salt in to a beaker and add 25cm 3 of water 4) Filter the mixture through the filter paper into the conical flask QUESTIONS 1.Why did you filter the mixture and what is left in the beaker after filtering? 5) Put salt solution into evaporation basin and heat it on gauze? 2.What will be left in the basin? 3.

Evaporation and filtration In this practical we tried to separate rock salt – a mixture of ____ and sand. To do this we followed four steps: 1)We ground the rock salt using a ______ and mortar, 2)We dissolved the mixture, 3)We _________ it, 4)We evaporated the remains. The sand didn’t _________, so we were able to filter it out. The salt did dissolve, so we had to ________ the remains to get the salt back. Words – filtered, salt, pestle, evaporate, dissolve Conclusion: Filtration can be used to remove something that doesn’t dissolve and evaporation can be used to separate something that does dissolve.
