Experiment No. 2 Classification of Matter - POLO
Part I Mixtures
Obtain small samples of the following mixtures: salt dissolve in water, soil in
water, air, brown and white sugar, liquid soap dissolve in water. Examine each sample
carefully. Make a table and indicate whether the mixture is homogeneous or
heterogeneous. Also, give a general description of each mixture.
Part II Substances
Examine small samples of each of the following: sugar, sodium chloride, copper
wire, water, and iron fillings (used for cleaning cauldron). For each substance examined
enter the following into a table:
a. Name of substance
b. Three physical properties for each
c. Effect of heat on the pure substance
d. Extent of solubility in water
e. Explain whether a physical, chemical change, or both changes took place
when the substances are heated.
Part III Use of Data Tables
Make useful information on the properties of substances printed in your periodic
table. A copy is available in the internet. Look up the following information for sodium
chloride and record them.
a. Formula
b. Formula weight or atomic weigh
c. Density
d. Melting point
e. Boiling point
f. Solubility in water at both 0⁰C and 100⁰C

ANALYSIS
1. What properties of each of the general components of soil in water can be used
to separate the components?
In a mixture of sand and water, the heavier sand particles settle down at the bottom
and the water can be separated by decantation. Through the filtration the mixture of
water and soil was separated since the filtration is known for separating liquid and solid
components from each other.
Air is a mixture it's composed of different gases. The gasses that presents in air are
nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide. The composition of air varies from place to
place the proportion of carbon dioxide is higher in industrial areas than in rural
areas likewise at higher altitudes the proportion of oxygen decreases if air was a
compound its composition would remain constant at all places. Liquid air possesses
no definite boiling point liquid oxygen boils sharply at minus 183 degrees Celsius
while liquid nitrogen boils at about minus hundred and ninety-three degree Celsius if
air was a compound liquid air would have a fixed boiling point.
3. Explain how it is possible to have a heteregenous mixture and still have only one
pure substance present? Give examples.
4. If a portion of the substance used does not appear to dissolve, how could
evidence be obtained to determine if any of the substance had dissolved?
We always thinks that when we add a substance into a water it dissolves, but in
reality it just make a transparent or see through liquid called solution. Solution is made
when one substance called the solute "dissolves" into another substance called the
solvent. Dissolving is when the solute breaks up from a larger crystal of molecules into
much smaller groups or individual molecules. When you don't see the substance, for
example, salt dissolves in water, it's both a solution and a mixture, salt and water. Salt
can be dissolved in water, and the solute is spread equally throughout the solvent. Each
substance is made up of unique molecules that interact with water in unique ways.
Solubility’s should be varying for different compounds
CONCLUSION
The group activity made us realize that all things that surrounds us is connected
to chemistry, from the air that we breath, the sugar that we puts in our milk, the soil that
we use to plant and the very important is the water that we need every day. As a group,
we meet virtually and shared our ideas and conclusion regarding in our activity and
summarizes it as one and here is our conclusion.
Through the given activity my team and I first discussed how we will do the given
tasks effectively by letting us choose the topic/s that we’re most comfortable with and
have the confidence to answer to. Then afterwards, the remaining items were divided
evenly among us members. We were also able to learn more about the different types
of changes in matter, which is the physical and chemical change. There are elements in
which both the physical and chemical change happens. In this experiment we have
worked together as a group I think the tests I/we did went smoothly and had no
problems except for difficult on understanding or doing it, but as a group we’ve all
worked together in order to finish it on time and all of us have learned a lot about this
certain activity of ours.
