2. Mixtures p. 64 1. A combination of two or more substances
that are not chemically combined
Mixtures p. 64
2) Why is this not a
Compound?
It did not combine to
make a new substance
3) What’s the difference
between a compound
and a mixture?
Mixture = same substance
Compound=new or chemically
altered substance

3. 4) Mixtures can be physically
“taken apart” p. 66
Mixtures
Made of elements, compounds
or both
No change in original properties
Can be physically separated
Formed using any ratio of components
It doesn’t matter how many
lettuce leaves, onions or croutons
you have …………………
5) Any ratio will work
for a salad!!

4. Common Ways to Separate Mixtures
Distillation – a process that separates a mixture
based on the boiling points of the components. Here,
pure water is being distilled from salt water.
Magnets – can be used to separate a mixture of the
elements iron and aluminum. Iron is attracted to the
magnet, but aluminum is not.
Centrifuge – the different parts of blood
are separated using a machine called a
centrifuge. In the test tube, a layer of plasma
rests above a layer of red blood cells. A
centrifuge separates the blood by their
densities.

5. These samples of granite are different colors because
the granite in each one has
different ratios of minerals.
A compound is made of elements in
a specific mass ratio. However, the
components of a mixture do not need
to be mixed in a definite ratio.
Granite is a mixture of three minerals:
feldspar (pink), mica (black), and
quartz (white). Even though the
proportions of the minerals change,
this combination of minerals is always
a mixture called granite.

6. Solutions p. 66 6) A mixture that appears to be a single substance.
Isn’t he cute!!!
6) A mixture that appears
to be a single substance.

7. Dissolving. 66 Kool-Aid Man is an example of
When particles mix together, separate
and spread evenly through out a mixture
Kool-Aid Man is an example of
substances which mixed together
and separated evenly. He’s a
Type of mixture called a 7)“solution.”

8. water! Can you tell me what the solute and solvent is in my mixture?
Substance that
Is dissolved!!!
8) I love ice cold
water! Can you tell me what the solute and solvent is in my mixture?
Solvent
Substance that does
the dissolving
p. 66

9. A “solute” must be soluble
p. 66
A “solute” must be soluble
to be able to dissolved.
9) soluble:
able to be
dissolved.

10. Mixture that’s not a solution
Unable to dissolve
or break down!
10) Insoluble
Clear
Cloudy
Insoluble
Mixture that’s not a solution
soluble
p. 66

11. Concentration p. 68 More or higher Concentration Less Concentrated
11) The amount of solute per solvent
12) Which glass container holds the
stronger coffee? A or B
More or higher
Concentration
Less Concentrated A B

12. Solubility Many solutes will dissolve faster in warmer solvents.
13)Ability of a substance to dissolve in
a solvent
14) Why will you enjoy the glass of
Kool-aid faster if you dissolve
the powder in the water before
adding the ice cubes?
Many solutes will dissolve
faster in warmer solvents.
p. 69

13. Suspension Particles are more or less evenly distributed throughout
the liquid or gas
15)
Particles too big to stay mixed
Particles will settle out if left alone
Can be separated by passing the
substance through a filter.

14. Colloids P. 70
16) A mixture where the particles are dispersed throughout but are
not heavy enough to settle out. In between a solution and suspension.

15. Classifying Matter Song

16. Quiz Time 1. Why do substances in a mixture keep their identities?
No chemical change has taken place in a mixture.
Mixture or Solution?
2. sugar and sand
mixture – can be physically separated
3. diet soda
solution – gas dissolved in liquid
4. air
solution – gases dissolved in other gases
5. water and oil
mixture – can be physically separated
6. chocolate chip cookie
mixture – can be physically separated

17. 7. Which of the following is not a solution: air in a scuba tank,
muddy water, a soda, or salt water?
muddy water
8. When solid iodine is dissolved in alcohol, which is the solute,
and which is the solvent?
Iodine is the solute and alcohol is the solvent.
9. A mixture
a. has substances in it that are chemically combined
b. can always be separated using filtration
c. contains substances that are not mixed in a definite ratio
d. all of the above c.
10. True or False: A suspension is composed of substances that
are spread evenly among each other.
False - solution
