Dates for Chapter 8 Test

Classes 7A, 7B, 7C, and 7E will have their test on Wednesday April 29th.
Class 7D will have their test on Thursday April 30th.

Separating Mixture Information to Study for the Test

We have examined a variety of different methods for separating mechanical mixtures and solutions.

For the upcoming test, you are expected to understand each method and which PROPERTIES of the individual substances in a mixture make it possible to separate them.

For example, a filter works to separate gravel from water because the particle size of gravel is to large to pass through the filter while the water passes through easily.

Review each of the methods listed below. Some methods are not listed in your textbook, however, these can be found in your package.

Separating Solutions

1. Chromatography
2. Distillation
3. Evaporation

Separating Mechanical Mixtures

1. Filtration
2. Magnetism
3. Sifting
4. Sorting
5. Settling
6. Flotation
7. Separating Funnel

Filtration Task Brainstorming

At this point, some classes are brainstorming filter designs. Please follow these steps when brainstorming:

1. Read about water filter design by exploring the links provided below

2. Consider what would be a good design for a water filter? 

3. Using the brainstorming worksheet provided in class, draw a filter you believe would work well to separate a mechanical mixture

4. Remember to add detailed notes to your diagram that explains the rationale behind the materials and design you used

5. You will also need to include estimated measurements for your design; remember that the filter must fit inside a 30 cubic centimeter box

Key Concepts

Chapter Summary

• Solutions consist of solutes and solvents. • Solutions can be dilute or concentrated, and saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated. • The concentration of a solution is the amount of solute dissolved in a specific amount of solvent.

• The concentration of a solution can be described in qualitative and quantitative terms. (8.1) • Solutes and solvents can be identified in various kinds of solutions. (8.1) • Solubility is affected by temperature, type of solute or solvent, particle size, and stirring. (8.2) • Solutions and mechanical mixtures are separated in different ways. (8.3) • Water is sometimes known as the universal solvent. (8.1) • Gases dissolve more in colder water than in warmer water • Water is sometimes known as the universal solvent. (8.1) • Review how to calculate the concentration of a solution
