Homework 2.1

Classification of Matter and Basic Separation Technique

A. Classify each of the following as an element or compound. If the sample is an

element write Element. If it is a compound, classify and write whether acid, base
or salt.
Element 1. Platinum
Compound-Acid 2. Potassium bromate
Element 3. 24-K gold
Compound-Base 4. Baking powder
Compound-Base 5. Cuticle remover
Compound-Acid 6. Aspirin
Element 7. Fluorine
Compound-Salt 8. Iodized salt
Compound-Salt 9. Detergent salt
Element 10. Barium

B. Classify each of the following as Homogeneous or Heterogenous.

Heterogeneous 1. Blood
Heterogeneous 2. Liquid milk
Homogeneous 3. Brass
Homogeneous 4. Salt water
Heterogeneous 5. Iron and aluminum fillings
Homogeneous 6. Cup of coffee
Homogeneous 7. Sugar and salt
Heterogeneous 8. Sand and gravel
Homogeneous 9. Air
Homogeneous 10. Vinegar
 C. Identify the method for the separation of the following mixtures:

Use of Separatory Funnel 1. Kerosene in water

Use of magnet 2. Iron fillings and wood shavings

Fractional Distillation 3. Water and alcohol

Simple Distillation 4. Salt solution

Filtration 5. Powdered chalk in water

Distillation 6. Soil with gasoline

Fractional Distillation 7. Crude oil processing to separate diesel from gasoline

Centrifugation 8. Blood components

Filtration 9. Sand and water

Use of Separatory Funnel 10, oil and water

D. Give the methods that can be used to separate the components of the mixture.
Write the methods in their proper order.

1. Salt, water, and iron fillings

STEPS

• Separation Method: Use of magnet

Wrap a magnet in plastic lunch wrap and drag it through the three solids combination.
The magnet will attract the iron filings. The filings can be removed by carefully unwrapping
the magnet's plastic!

• Separation Method: Simple Distillation

Filter the sand from the salt water solution with a funnel, flask, and filter paper. To
eliminate the last of the salt from the sand in the filter paper, wash it with fresh water.
 2. Sand, water and oil

STEPS

• Separation Method: Decantation

Decantation Method should be used to separate this because it has an oil mixture in it
that can easily be decanted because it will only float in the water.

• Separation Method: Filtration

Separate the sand from the oil/water aggregate by passing the aggregate through a filter
out mesh. The sand can then be cleaned with a solvent to remove any oil remains before
being dried.
