Color gray gray

Effect of magnet has attraction has attraction

Solubility in toluene insoluble insoluble

B. Combine Sulfur and iron Filling

Sulfur Not Heat Heated

Color yellow yellow

Effect of Magnet Sulfur has Sulfur has

no attraction no attraction

Solubility in toluene insoluble insoluble

Color of residue (3c) white (4e) white

Color of residue (3d) white (4g) white

 C. Sodium Bicardonate

While Heating- while sodium bicarbonate undergoes heating it begins to breakdown into three
Compounds which is forming sodium carbonate, water and carbon dioxide.

After Heating – it formed sodium carbonate, water and carbon dioxide.

D.

1. Toluene and colored water- the toluene is insoluble in colored water

2. Colored water and acetic acid- the acetic acid is soluble in colored water

3. Toluene and colored water,

And Colored water and acetic acid- the toluene in a colored water is insoluble while the
acetic acid in a colored water is soluble.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS:
Based on your observation, classify each of the following substance as element, compound,
homogeneous mixture or heterogeneous mixture, justify your answer.

1. Sulfur- sulfur is an element because it is belong in the periodic table.

2. Iron filling- an element because it is a pure substance

3. Sulfur iron and Filling combined

A. Not heated- it is heterogeneous mixture because sulfur is powder and iron is a metal so they
can be separated if they were mixed

B. Heated- it is compound because if they were heated it formed compound which is iron
sulfide

4. Sodium bicarbonate- A compound because sodium bicarbonate is composed of four

element which is sodium, hydrogen, carbon and oxygen.

5. Toluene and colored water- an heterogeneous mixture because toluene is insoluble in a

colored water

6. Colored water and acetic acid- an homogenous mixture because the acetic acid is
soluble in colored water

7. Toluene, colored water,

And Colored water and acetic acid- and heterogeneous and homogenous mixture
because toluene is insoluble in a colored water while acetic acid is.
QUESTIONS:

1. When element combined to form compound, are the properties of the element retained
in the compound? Give an example and illustrate your answer.

- No, for example: Sulfur and iron filling if they were combined it formed a compound which is
iron sulphide. when element combine to form compounds, there are chemical reaction that
occurs which formed chemical properties

2. Differentiate between

a. And element and a compound- An element is a pure chemical substance made of same type of
atom while a compound contains atoms of different elements chemically combined together in a
fixed ratio.

b. A compound and a mixture - Compound are substances which can be formed by chemically
combining two or more elements. Mixtures are substances that are formed by physically
mixing two or more substances.

3. A substance x is solid at 25oC. When heated to absolute to 250oC it gradually liquefied.

When cooled back at 25oC the liquid could not be induce to solidify. Is substance x
probably an element, a compound or a mixture? Explain your answer.

- When cooled, it solidifies in liquid form at a fixed temperature, which would be the same
temperature at which it melts when heated. It must be a mixture if the material does not
solidify all at the same temperature.
