1. Classify each of the following as elements (E), compounds (C), Heterogeneous mixture (HM) or
homogenous mixture (S). Write the letter X if it is none of these.

__Diamond (C) __Water (H2O) __Dry Ice (CO2)

__Baking Soda (NaHCO3)
__Sugar (C6H12O6) __Alcohol (CH3OH) __Titanium (Ti)
__Iron (Fe)
__Milk __Pail of Garbage __Popcorn and seeds
__Gold (Au)
__Air _Ammonia (NH3) __Book
__A dog
__Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) __Salt (NaCl) __Concrete

__Gasoline __Noodle Soup

__Krypton (K) __Wood

__Bismuth (Bi) __Salt Water

__Uranium (U) __Ink

2. Match each diagram with its correct description. Diagrams will be used once.

A B C D E

_C_ Pure Element – only one type of atom present.

__ Mixture of two elements – two types of uncombined atoms present.

__ Pure compound – only one type of compound present.

__ Mixture of two compounds – two types of compounds present.

__ Mixture of a compound and an element.

 3. Read each description and determine whether it is a pure substance or mixture. Then further
classify the matter (element, compound, homogeneous mixture, heterogeneous mixture)

Description Pure Substance Classification?

or Mixture?
1. Chocolate syrup is added to milk and stirred Mixture
Homogenous mixture
(solution)
2. Copper metal (used to make wires) Pure substance Element
3. Sand is added to water Mixture Heterogeneous Mixture
4. Distilled water Pure substance Compound
5. Tap water Mixture Heterogeneous mixture
6. Diamond Pure substance Element
7. Table sugar Pure substance Compound
Homogeneous mixture
8. Table sugar added to a cup of coffee and stirred Mixture
(solution)
Homogeneous mixture
9. Kool-aid is added to water Mixture
(solution)
10. Coca-cola Mixture Homogeneous mixture
11. Helium gas (used to inflate a balloon) Pure substance Element
12. Mercury metal (used in old thermometers) Pure substance Element
13. Hydrogen gas (an explosive gas) Pure substance Element
14. Trail mix (peanuts, pretzels and m&m's) Mixture Heterogeneous mixture
Homogeneous mixture
15. The air we breathe Mixture
(solution)

answer:

Change Chemical or Physical Reason

You cut your hair Physical It’s still hair

Mixing sugar and water Physical Even if sugar is dissolved in water, it’s still the
same substance. No new substance is created.

Making a peanut, pretzel and Physical Still peanuts, pretzels and cereal
cereal mixture

Baking soda reacts with vinegar Chemical Difficult to reverse, gas is formed
and forms a gas

A piece of metal is bent in half Physical Able to bend it back to its original form

Methanol is burned and leaves a Chemical Unable to reverse

residue
New substance is formed
