LO:

(i) To differentiate between pure substances and mixtures

(ii) Distinguish between homogenous and heterogenous mixtures

1. Differentiate between pure substances and mixtures.

2. Distinguish between elements and compounds.

3. What are homogeneous mixtures and heterogeneous mixtures?

Homogenous mixture Heterogenous mixture

Uniform composition Non-uniform composition
Has only one phase (either solid, liquid or Has more than one phase
gas)
Eg. - A mixture of alcohol and water. Eg. - A mixture of sand and water

4. Mixtures are further classified as following:

5.
6. Give examples of some methods that can be used to separate mixtures.

chromatography, magnetic separation, etc.

7. What are the properties of substances that are made use of to separate mixtures?
Physical state, magnetic and electrical properties, density, melting point, boiling point, solubility etc.
