Grade -9 Experiments

Dear students, Let’s do some Chemistry Practical virtually.

 Click on the Procedure link to read and understand how to do the experiment.
 Then click on Demonstration link to see a demonstration of how to do the
experiment.
 Next click on Simulation link to do the experiment yourself.
 Before starting the experiment, click on the Class Notebook tab on top of your
Teams page and select 9 Chemistry Notebook Practical section .
 Write the Aim, Observation and Inference in the Notebook as and when you do the
experiment along with your viva voce score

Mixture and compound

Aim:
To prepare: (a) a mixture (b) a compound,
using iron fillings and sulphur powder and distinguish between them on the basis of:
(a) Appearance
(b) Behaviour towards a magnet
(c) Effect of heat
(d) Behaviour towards carbon disulphide
Theory:
 Mixtures:-When 2 or more elements combine in any proportion in a physical way, it
leads to the formation of a mixture.
 Characteristicsof a mixture:-
(i) The physical properties are retained
(ii) They can be separated into their constituents by simple methods.
 Compounds: When 2 or more elements combine in a fixed ratio by weight in a chemical
way the resulting product is a compound.
 Characteristics of a compound:
(i) The properties of the compound are totally different from those of its constituent
elements.
 (ii) The compound cannot be split into constituents by simple physical methods.

Apparatus Required:
Two watch glasses, a magnet, a hand lens, test tube rack, test tubes, pestle and mortar, a test tube
holder and a hard glass tube.

Procedure:
1. Take a small quantity of iron fillings in pestle and mortar. Add a small quantity of
sulphur powder and grind thoroughly with the pestle.
2. A mixture of iron and sulphur is formed (A).
3. Divide it in two and take one half in another hard glass tube and heat thoroughly. Iron
combines with sulphur to form a compound iron sulphide (B).

Observation and Inference :

Experiment Observation Inference

Action with magnet:
Bring bar magnet near
mixture (A) and
compound (B)

Observation under hand

lens: Observe the mixture
(A) and compound(B)
under hand lens
(magnifying glass).

Effect of heat: Take

mixture A and compound
B and heat strongly

Action with carbon

disulphide: Take mixture
A and compound B in
separate test tubes and add
carbon disulphide and
shake well

Precautions:
1. Heat the mixture of iron and sulphur in hard glass test tube.
2. Use minimum quantity of substance/ mixture while performing experiments
