Homework #5



1. A physical property is a property that can be observed and measured without changing the chemical makeup of the substance.

2.
Boiling point: 100°C or 212°F.
Freezing point: 0°C or 32°F.
Density: 1g/mL or 1g/centimeters cubed

3. Because of the fact that ice has the ability to float on the surface of liquid water, it becomes less dense.

4. If you were in the artic, you could find a polar bear floating on an iceberg (solid) afloat on water (liquid) and certain levels of gas would be present in the air. (gas)

5. A heterogeneous mixture is one that is not uniform throughout. A homogenous mixture is one that is uniform throughout.

6. You need to figure out, first, which is the most dense. And from this information, you know what the oil will be on top because it is less dense and automatically floats to the top.

7.
a. A suspension
b. A suspension
c. A colloid
d. A solution
e. A suspension
f. A colloid

8. Because of the Tyndall effect, the scattering of light, making the air a colloid, because of the scattering of the light particles across the blinds.

9. On separate paper.

10. This mixture is a colloid because of the rules applying to the Tyndall effect. The small particles refract off of the beam of light. Though, this mixture cannot be a solution, nor a suspension because the particles over time settle to the bottom of the mixture.
11. A substance is an element or compound with a uniform and definite composition, as well as distinct properties. Two examples of a substance are H20 and NaCl.

12.
a. Compound
b. Element
c. Compound
d. Element
e. Compound
f. Compound
g. Compound
