The document discusses the key differences between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. A homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition throughout, with its components mixing evenly on a molecular scale so they cannot be easily distinguished. In contrast, a heterogeneous mixture's components do not dissolve or mix completely and can be easily separated due to having distinct physical properties. Examples provided are salt dissolved in water as a homogeneous mixture, versus sand mixed in water or a pizza as heterogeneous mixtures.

Title: Separation Lab
Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to successfully separate a mixture of iron filings, poppy seeds,
sand and salt.
Hypothesis: In my opinion, I think it is possible to successfully separate the mixture.
Procedure: 1. We got a Dixie cup with the mixture of iron fillings. 2. We got an iron magnet and
stirred it around the mixture in the Dixie cup to attract all the iron filings. 3. Then, we put all of the
iron filings that we separated into a evaporating dish. 4. Next, we added water to the Dixie cup. 5.
We took a spoon, and scooped out all the poppy seeds that floated to the top of the Dixie cup. 6. Get

We used all the steps of the scientific method. For instance, in Question, we asked ourselves "How
do we successfully separate a mixture of iron filings, poppy seeds, sand, and salt. We researched the
topic at home to write our hypothesis. The information that we found helped us write our
hypothesis. Next, we wrote down our procedure based on the information that we found. The
information that we researched helped us write our procedure. We wrote down the specific
instructions to let us know what to do, when we got back in the lab. Then, we did our lab
experiment. We observed closely and recorded the data. Afterwards, we organized and evaluated our
data that we recorded; this process is called Data Analysis. We organized how each substance was
separated. Then, we used all the data that we collected and recorded to write our conclusion.

Triboelectric series
When materials of different charges chafe against one another, the material with a stronger affinity
for the negative charge will generally seize the electrons of the other material. With an unequal
distribution of electrons and protons, the material that had a greater tendency to acquire more
electrons will develop a negative charge, whilst the material that had electrons extracted from it will
develop a positive charge. The Triboelectric Series is simply a table, identifying which materials are
more likely to develop a negative charge in this situation and which are more likely to develop a
positive charge.
Current
Electric current is the flow of charge through an electrical component. The speed of an electric
current can be measured in the SI units of 'amperes' (abbreviated 'amps'). The formula for the

14. Unknown Mixtures Lab Report
Background:
Mixtures are combinations pure substances, thus their physical properties depend on their
composition. Physical properties of a pure substance include solubility, conductivity, and
magnetism. By exploiting unique properties of mixtures, it is possible to divide the mixture into its
components. This is done by physical change, such as filtration, evaporation, and crystallization.
Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to study the physical properties of salt, sand, and iron
and use this information to design and carry out a separation of an unknown mixture. The mass

Iron is magnetic. In our lab, when we ran a magnet through the mystery mix, the iron jumped out
from the mix and clug to the magnet. We were able to sort out all of the iron using a magnet.
Magnetism is a physical property. The chemical make up stays the same. If it were a chemical
property, bonds would break: the the makeup of the material would change, but that was not the
case. The iron in our lab stayed the same.
5. The combination of salt and sand is a mixture. It is a physical combination with no fixed ratio. If
it were a compound, it would be a chemical combined elements in fixed ratios that could be
separated chemically only. In our lab, we were able to separate the different substances using
magnets, filters, and water, nothing chemical – we used physical properties.
6. In our lab, when we carried out the process of filtration, the sand remained on the filter paper. The
filtrate is not a pure substance. We mixed water into the mixture and the salt dissolved – that was
our filtrate. Therefore, the filtrate contains both water and salt, A pure substance is not mixed, the

Introduction: 1. Matter can be classified as a pure substance or a mixture of other substances. A pure
substance could be either an element like carbon or a compound like water. A mixture can be either
a homogenous mixture like salt solution or heterogeneous mixture like soil. Matter is also separated
by extensive and intensive properties.

Unknown samples of a pure substance may be identified using the properties of that substance by
finding the density of that unknown sample or the boiling and melting point of that sample and
compare them to see if they are identical.
5. A physical property is a quality of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing
the substance's composition. An example of a physical property is color and hardness. A chemical
property is when a substance undergoes a chemical change or reaction which change the identity of
the substance. An example of a chemical property would be heat of combustion.
6. Density is a characteristic property of a substance. Density is equal to the amount of mass in a
substance divided by the amount of volume of a substance. Density is the relationship between mass
of a substance and how much space it takes up which is volume. Density is an intrinsic property.
Mass and volume are both extrinsic on their own but when put together in a ratio for density the

The Breaking Down of a Mixture
Problem:
With the materials available in the lab, we attempted to separate a mixture of materials into its
individual states. There were multiple substances combined into a single state that varied enough in
physical state to be potentially separated by several means. With the heterogeneous appearance, we
operated under the assumption that the mixture had been composed by simply mixing together
ingredients, and that we would be capable of separating the components back to the base forms.
Hypothesis:
If all necessary materials are available and provided, then we will be able to separate the mixed

Introduction:
When faced with a problem a good scientist will use experiments, notes, debates, and more to their
advantage to solve the tough questions. A groups of scientists did just that when faced with a
problem of their own. A tiny vial with a white powdery substance in it was put in front of them, and
they needed to find out what was in it! Faced with nine possible ingredients in the "Mystery
mixture," a well tray, a water dropper, and a toothpick, these scientists were a little overwhelmed,
but determined. One of the first things they did was look at the substance and compare it to their
own mixtures, using experiments or chemical properties. Chemical properties are a chemical's
reaction to another or more substances, and a change in it's identity. When they observed the
chemicals the students were using physical properties, or observing the chemical's smell, texture,
color, appearance, size, and shape. They believe Baking Soda and Citric acid are in the Mystery

The experimenters inserted a capillary tube containing approximately 2 to 3 mm of benzoic acid into
a manual Mel–Temp melting point apparatus. With the Mel–Temp dial set between 3 and 4, the

Discussion
A pure organic compound melts or freezes fairly sharply over a specific temperature range called its
melting point. This physical constant can help identify a substance. Generally, any impurity added to
a pure substance will lower its observed melting point and increase the range over which melting
occurs. Therefore, when two pure organic substances possess a similar melting point, a mixture
containing both substances will often melt at a lower temperature and over a broader range.
Conversely, if a mixture of a known and unknown substance actually contains a single substance,
the melting point of the mixture will not deviate from the melting point of the known.
Davis (1913) demonstrated that pairs of substances with similar melting points melted at lower

33. temperatures and over broader melting ranges when mixed. Since the separation and purification of
a compound from food or excretions often leaves toxicologists with very little material to examine,

37. Difference Between Homogeneous And Heterogeneous Mixture
We have heard the term mixture in our Chemistry books or in the kitchen, But what the mixture
exactly is? A mixture is an outcome of combining two or more substances without any fixed ratio
and such approach that there is no chemical reaction occurs between them.
The mixture is classified into two categories, Homogeneous mixture, and heterogeneous mixture.
On mixing up the component substances retain their own identities and properties. Mixtures do not
have a fixed composition.
In this article of Tape daily, we will try to subdue the confusion about what is the difference between
homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture.

Similarly, how can we identify that the mixture is heterogeneous?
A heterogeneous mixture consists of substances that can be easily separated. In heterogeneous
mixture, the substances are not dissolved thoroughly and each component has its own property,
therefore, components can be separated out easily.
What if we dissolve some sand in the water? After a while, all the sand particles would be settled
down at the bottom of the water and we can recognize them separately. So we would call this
mixture a heterogeneous mixture.
Pizza, one the most lovable food in the world is also a perfect example of heterogeneous mixture.
Just by casting a glance at pizza we can easily recognize its ingredients like cheese, pepperoni,
mushrooms, olives and chicken etc.

Separation Design Lab
Criterion A
A.i) A mixture is defined as a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically
combined. A mixture that has a uniform composition and uniform properties throughout it is known
as a homogeneous mixture. One example of a homogeneous mixture is air. Air is a homogeneous
mixture of gases. Another example of a homogeneous mixture can be seen when you mix a spoonful
of table salt or sugar into a glass of water because either the sugar or salt dissolves. If you were to
mix dirt or sand and water, a heterogeneous mixture will be formed, not a homogeneous one.
(Stewart 2014) A heterogeneous mixture is made up of a non–uniform composition. At least two
components of a heterogeneous mixture must have clear distinctive differences. For example, if you
were to examine a heterogeneous mixture sample, you would be able to see the separate
components. Ice cubes in soda form a heterogeneous mixture because there is a clear distinction
between the soda and the ice cubes. (Helmenstine) A compound is formed when two or more
chemical elements are chemically bound together. A mixture does not involve a chemical reaction to
occur but in order to form a compound, one must occur. Two types of chemical bonds are ionic
bonds and covalent bonds. Water, hydrogen and oxygen, is an example of a compound. (Stewart

The larger components being the rocks, the smaller components being the sand, sugar, and iron

attempt to separate each component of the mixture from the others. In order to achieve this goal,
multiple separation methods had to be chosen, the first of which was sifting. Sifting was chosen
seeing as it enabled the larger components of the mixture to easily be separated from the smaller
components. This is due to the fact that when put in the sifter, the rocks were too large to fall
through the mesh in the sifter, while the sand, sugar, and iron filings were small enough to fall
through the mesh. Therefore showing that that sifting was chosen because it enabled the rocks to be
separated from the smaller components of the mixture. Magnetic attraction was chosen seeing as it
allowed the magnetic iron filings to be separated from the nonmagnetic components of the mixture
with the use of a magnet. Seeing as the filings were the only magnetic component of the mixture,
they were the only component which would be attracted to a magnet. Therefore, the method of
magnetic attraction was chosen seeing as it allowed the iron filings to be attracted out of the mixture
and to a magnet, effectively separating the filings from the remaining two components of the

The composition of a pure substance is constant, and thus pure substances have characteristic
physical properties that do not change and this is why we are able to separate each element in this
lab experiment. Examples of physical properties that can be used to describe pure substances
include solubility, conductivity, magnetism, density, boiling point, and melting point.
Since we obtain an unknown proportion of a mixture, it's important to mention that a mixture is a
result of a combination of two or more pure substances that do not react chemically. The physical
properties of a mixture depend on its composition because the amounts of each substance making up
a mixture can vary. By taking advantage of the unique physical properties of individual components
within a mixture, it should be possible to separate a mixture into its components. Mixtures have the
following fundamental properties:
1>each component of a mixture retains its chemical identity and hence its own properties.
2> Composition of a mixture may vary while that of its components is fixed.

A pure substance is an element or compound with a constant composition, such as salt. Its
components stay in a fixed ratio to each other, and they can only be separated by relatively difficult
chemical means. A mixture is a physical combination of pure substances. Their compositions vary
and it is easy to physically separate them. Mixtures can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous.
A homogeneous mixture is a mixture whose composition is uniform throughout. A heterogeneous is

The movement of the components in the mobile phase is controlled by the significance of their
interactions with the mobile and/or stationary phases. Because of the differences in factors such as
the solubility of certain components in the mobile phase and the strength of their affinities for the
stationary phase, some components will move faster than others, thus facilitating the separation of
the components within that mixture.
The first chromatograph was invented by Russian botanist Mikhail Semenovich Tsvett. Mikhail

official. His mother died soon after his birth, and he was raised in Geneva, Switzerland. He received
his B.S. degree from the Department of Physics and Mathematics at the University of Geneva in
1893. However, he decided to dedicate himself to botany and received his Ph.D. degree in 1896 for
his work on cell physiology. He moved to Saint Petersburg, Russia, in 1896 because his father was
recalled from the Foreign Service. There he started to work at the Biological Laboratory of the
Russian Academy of Sciences. His Geneva degrees were not recognized in Russia, and he had to
earn Russian degrees. In 1897 he became a teacher of botany courses for women. In 1902 he

79. Lab Report : Mixed Substances And Investigating Mixtures
On September 29, 2017, in class a lab was done on Mixed Substances and Investigating Mixtures.
The objective of the Mixed Substances lab is to see how properties of individual substances
compare with properties of mixed substances. The definition of a mixture is a combination of two or
more substances that are physically mixed but can be separated. There are two different types of
mixtures, heterogeneous and homogeneous. A heterogenous mixture is a mixture consisting of
dissimilar parts or elements. A homogenous mixture is a mixture that is uniform in structure or
composition throughout the substance. The prediction statement or hypothesis is, If the water and
cornstarch are in the same bowl and they combine then a thick liquid will form. The objective of the
Investigating Mixtures lab was to observe that not all liquids behave the same way when mixed with
other liquids. The hypothesis is, If water and oil are put in the same container and they are mixed,
then they will separate from each other.
Conclusion/ Analysis After the experiment was completed, conclusion questions were answered.
After the substances were mixed and stirred, the cornstarch and water could not be seen. It could not
be seen because the cornstarch mixed with the water, making a mixture. The new mixture was
different from the original substances. The new substance has a higher viscosity than the water alone
because it was thicker from the cornstarch. The new substance was solid at the touch, but a

87. A Brief Note On Asphalt And Warm Mix Asphalt
Introduction
What is asphalt?
Asphalt is a mixture of coarse and fine aggregates (mainly stone and sand) mixed with bitumen
(asphalt cement).
The aggregates can be obtained from natural sources with the correct grading or from quarries
where crushed aggregates are processed. Quarry is usually the main source of aggregates for asphalt
mixtures.
Bitumen can also be obtained from natural sources, but these natural sources are only available in
certain countries. The main source of bitumen for asphalt mixtures is from petroleum processing
where bitumen is a byproduct of the distillation of crude oil. This by product is then further
processed to form bitumen of different grades.

Cold mix is applied to the road paving, shaped and compacted while it is still in its plastic state.
After a while the water from the emulsion mixture evaporates and the mixture starts to harden.
Cold mix asphalt can be produced at any temperature above freezing. The products used are usually
mixed together at air temperature.
Cold mix asphalt is mainly used for maintenance purposes like pothole repair due to its essay
workability, and low production cost. Cold mix asphalt is used more in colder countries where it is
not always possible to use warm mix asphalts for maintenance due to the rapid cooling of these
warm products at cold temperatures.
Warm Mix Asphalt
Warm mix asphalt should not be confused with hot mix asphalt. The name hot or warm mix asphalt
is dependent on the temperature at which the asphalt is manufactured.
Hot mix asphalt is manufactured at temperatures ranging from 150 – 175 degrees celsius and mainly
used for paving on highways.
Warm mix asphalt is manufactured at temperatures ranging from 90 – 120 degrees celsius. Due to
the lower manufacturing temperature of warm mix asphalt it uses less energy per ton to produce.
Therefor it is cheaper to produce warm mix asphalt.
Additional binding materials and additives like wax and emulsions are added to soften the product
thus making it easier to spread at low temperatures.
Due to the fact that warm mix asphalt is more workable at lower temperatures than hot mix asphalts

92. Notes On Chromatography
Background:
Derived form the greek words for colour (Chroma) and writing (graphe). Chromatography is a
method is method in which different kinds of the coloured chemical mixtures are separated. In the
early 1900s, Mikhail Tswett, a Russian botanist, was interested in the individual compounds
presented in plants. He understood that removing ground up plants extracts with the dissimilar
solvents will provide assorted coloured solutions. Tswett conducted an experiment which involved
pouring a plant extract through a glass tube filled with calcium carbonate. As the liquid passed
through the powder, bands of colour was revealed; as individual compounds.

In chromatographic techniques, there is a stationary phase: usually a solid, thick liquid or bonded
coating that stays in a secure position. mobile phase or eluent: usually a liquid or gas moves through
it or across it.
The mobile phase carries the components of the mixture with it.
The separation of a sample, placed in the stationary phase, will gradually transport along with the
mobile phase. If a sample compound has no connection with the stationary phase, it will come out as
the same rate of mobile phase. If a sample compound has connection, it will stick with the stationary
phase. This distribution ratio among the selected phases must differ for each sample compound in
order for them to separate.

96. Sodium Bicarbonate Lab
Introduction: A mixture, unlike a compound, can be separated by physical means. There are multiple
ways in which a mixture can be separated; furthermore, the ways it can be separated is based on
what the mixture is made up of. The mixture of sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate can be
separated due to the different temperatures at which the carbonate and bicarbonate decompose. This
separation is the focus of the experiment. The bicarbonate decomposes when heated by the Bunsen
burner. The carbonate also will decompose but at a much higher temperature. So, when the
bicarbonate is heated it decomposes into carbonate, and during the decomposition it releases water
and carbon dioxide. Furthermore, the amount of water and carbon dioxide released can be found by
finding the difference in mass of the original mixture (before heating) and the final mixture (after
heating). The mass of the water and carbon dioxide can be used to find the percent composition of
bicarbonate in the mixture.
Results:

Thus, assuming crucible was fully cooled after heating crucible and bicarbonate, the original mass
of crucible and bicarbonate/carbonate mixture minus the mass of crucible and bicarbonate/carbonate
mixture after heating would make it appear the reaction yielded a lesser amount of oxygen gas and
carbon dioxide than it actually did. And since the amount of bicarbonate is directly related to the
amount of oxygen gas and carbon dioxide, the new lesser calculated bicarbonate divided by the
added amount of sodium bicarbonate would decrease the percent of

How to Separate a Mixture of Iron, Sand, and Salt
The mixture of iron, sand, and salt can be separated by their physical properties. A mixture is a
combination of two or more substances that are NOT chemically combined. Some properties of
mixtures include that only physical changes occur when creating mixtures and that they can be
separated by physical means. Mixtures also can be made with any ratio or amount of substances and
the substances themselves keep their identities. The combination of iron, sand, and salt, follow all
these rules so therefore it is a mixture. In this experiment, each substance in the mixture has a

Size matters because the larger particles will not go through the filter holes but smaller particles will

there were a few variables that were not thought of such as a dirty collection beaker. If the beaker
was contaminated then the water would appear cloudy. Next, the filter was not locked in place
within the funnel. We could have poured down the sides of the filter by mistake and contaminated
water did not go through the filter and went into the beaker. Finally, we could have gotten impatient
and pushed the sand down with the stirring rod. This would cause the filter to rip and let larger sand

104. Homogeneous Mixture Lab Report
Introduction
A mixture is a combination of two or more pure substances that are physically combined [not
chemically combined]. There are two types of mixtures, which are homogeneous mixtures and
heterogeneous mixtures. Homogeneous mixtures are mixtures that have components which are
uniformly distributed throughout the mixture. For example, sugar water is a homogeneous mixture.
A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture that has components which are not uniformly distributed
throughout the mixture. For example, a raisin bagel is a homogenous mixture. Since mixtures are
physically combined, they can be physically separated. Mixtures can be separated by decanting,
filtration, distillation, magnetic separation, and chromatography. Filtration is when ... Show more

For example, if iron filings and water is combined, then it is a heterogeneous mixture because the
iron filings are different states of matter and are not uniformly distributed in this mixture. Another
example would be black ink. Black ink is a homogeneous mixture because everything is uniformly
distributed to create one specific color. Continuing on, sodium chloride and water would be a
homogeneous mixture since the salt would be fully dissolved in the water and uniformly distributed.
During the experiment, if the filter paper tore and some sand and bits of paper were in the solution
in the flask, the correct solution to this problem would be to add another new filter paper to the torn
one. Then the solution should be poured and refiltered again in a different flask. When
chromatography was done on the color blue, it was concluded that that pigment that was most
soluble in water and less attracted to the water was the color cyan because it was on the top. If a
color is on the top, it means that that color was the one that dissolved the fastest and one that was
attracted to the water the most. The mass of the salt in the mixture could have been isolated and
measured by separating the iron filings from the rest of the mixture by using the process of magnetic
separation. The iron filings' mass would be measured. Then the sand could be separated from the
mixture by filtration. The sands' mass would be measured.

112. Separating Mixtures And Its Effect On The Body
Separating a mixture can be either very simple, or greatly complex. For example, a heterogeneous
mixture, such as a bowl of different types of candy, can be easily sorted by the color, size, or shape
of the individual candy. But homogenous mixtures, such as air, steel, or sugar water, takes
sometimes complicated procedures to break the mixture or solution down into its original form.
Separating mixtures can be done by using the differences in their properties, such as the color, size,
shape, boiling point, or density of a specific element (Brown et al., 2014, p. 13). There are many
types of methods to separating mixtures, which includes sublimation, crystallization, and simple or
fractional distillation. Sublimation is the process that ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
465). The process of sublimation is sometimes used by chemists to purify compounds by placing
any solid into a vessel and then heating it (Sublimation (chemistry), 2008). The heated vessel is
then placed under a vacuum, a place that is empty of all matter, which evaporates the solid into a
vapor and then condenses it as a purified compound. This process is useful when trying to purify a
substance because it leaves the impurities of said substance behind (Sublimation (chemistry),
2008). Another type of sublimation is called dye sublimation which is used in color printing on
different types of materials like paper, t–shirts, hats, mugs, metals, puzzles and other different types
of surfaces. The process consists of heating a solid die material, which then solidifies onto the given
surface. Even with a low printer resolution, dye sublimation allows extreme control of the color
ratios that results in a good quality picture (Sublimation (chemistry), 2008). Another process that
separates mixtures is crystallization. Crystallization is the construction of solid crystals from a
homogeneous solution. (Haslego, 2010). For any solution to start the crystallization process, it must
first be supersaturated. Supersaturation is a state of any solution that contains more solute that is
needed to create a saturated solution under normal conditions. (Brown et al., 2014, p. 537). For

The water and food coloring did mix into the water because instead of being able to see through the
clear water easily, it became blue in color and harder to see through the glass. Although the water
and food coloring mixed, the cooking oil and water did not. I am able to show this because in the
glass, the oil was resting on the water's surface and continued to stay separated. When and or if you
turned the container downward, the oil pushes through the moving water in order to remain at the
top of the surface. Since the oil remains at the top no matter what angle the container is at, the oil
has the higher density because it is always forced to the top of the glass. If soap was added to the list
of ingredients and was mixed into the mixture of water and oil, I think the soap would mix with the
water but the oil will remain at the top and unmixed. The mixture was a heterogenous because even

themselves. Going back to reanalyze my hypothesis, I have come to the conclusion that my

Thursday, October 28 in Ms. O'Brien's science class we performed two experiments. The first
experiment was called the Mixed Substances Lab. In this lab we were to see how properties of
individual substances compare with properties of mixed substances. There were three research
definitions that we needed to know. The first was the definition of a mixture, which is a combination
of two or more substances that are not combined chemically but physically. Secondly, the definition
of a homogeneous mixture. Homogeneous mixtures are mixtures in which the substance is uniform
in structure or composition throughout. Lastly, the definition of heterogeneous mixtures. This is
when a solution consists of dissimilar parts of elements or when you can see the individual
elements. Our hypothesis was if the properties of individual substances compare with properties of
mixed substances and we mix water with cornstarch, then it will create a substance that's properties
switch between a solid and liquid that is a homogeneous mixture.
The objective of the Investigating Mixtures Lab was to observe that not all liquids behave the same

Knowing specific methods made it possible to separate the substances. This contributed to the
purpose of the experiment which was to determine what in the given mixture had the higher percent
composition by mass in the sand, salt, and iron mixture. The percent composition is determined by
dividing the mass of the mixture by the mass of a substance, and then dividing it by 100. The
hypothesis made was that in the given mixture, if the mass of the sand is the greatest, it has the
highest percent composition by mass because more of a substance would mean that it has more
composition in the mixture.

Separating Mixtures
By Kaylan Hook and Luke Trueblood
Depending on whether a mixture is homogeneous or heterogeneous, there are many forms of
separation. Separating a mixture means to divide the substances into one or more distinct parts.
There are multiple ways to separate a mixture. Filtration, simple distillation, liquid chromatography,
and centrifugation are four ways that liquids or gases can be divided into different parts.
Filtration means the action of separating a heterogeneous mixture through a filtering medium.
Filtration removes suspended particles from a liquid. The fluid can be a liquid, a gas or a
supercritical fluid. A supercritical fluid has a pressure and temperature exceeding its critical point.
They can remove impurities from the substance. There are many different ways to carry out this
process, one of the most common and well known methods of filtration would be a water filter.

Introduction
The objective for the Mixed Substances lab was to see how properties of an individual substance
compare with properties of mixed substances. Before creating a hypothesis or even continuing the
lab I had to research what a mixture is, what a homogeneous mixture is, and what a heterogeneous
mixture is. A mixture is the combination of two or more substances that are mixed together
physically; but, do not combine chemically. A homogeneous mixture is uniform in structure and
composition throughout a substance. In addition, a heterogeneous mixture consists of dissimilar
parts of elements. Finally, I could hypothesize; If there is water and cornstarch is mixed with it, then
it will mix to create a new substance that looks like a liquid; but, feels like a solid. Similarly, the
objective for the Investigating Mixtures lab was to observe that not all liquids behave the same
way mixed with other ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The original substances were clear, liquid water and white, powdery cornstarch. When they were
mixed together the new substance looked like white glue; however, when I felt it, it had a hard
surface. The substance was not extremely sticky; but, it did cling to the bowl, spoon, and my fingers
quite a bit. The new mixture was made from a chemical change because the water and cornstarch
combined to create a hard goo. It is not a physical change because you can't physically separate the
two substances after mixing them together. Furthermore, the new substance also gained different
attributes such as, becoming adherent because before the cornstarch would just slip off of a surface
and water would just run down a surface; but, now that they are mixed the new substance flattens on
the same surface and sticks there. In addition, the new substance gains more energy because it does
become more of a solid. The molecules move faster and slowly move farther

Lab 3: Identifying a Constituent of Panacetin
9/15/2011
Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the unknown component of Panacetin.
Theory: Panacetin is an analgesic (pain reducing) and antipyretic (fever reducing) drug that is sold
in drug stores. However, there is a suspicion that this bottle may be counterfeit, not containing the
chemicals that it should. Panacetin should be made up of about 50 percent of the unknown
component that we previously separated out of Panacetin for testing. We suspect that this unknown
compound is either acetanilide or phenacetin, both of which can be toxic to humans. It is very
important that this component is ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
These were most likely impurities, in which case I added a bit more water than was necessary. Also,
the lab manual says to take two samples of each mixture (unknown; ½ phenacetin; ½ acetanilide) for
the melting point, but we only conducted one. There were a few safety concerns in this lab. Both
phenacetin and acetanilide are known to be mild irritants, thus contact with skin and eyes should be
avoided or minimized around the unknown. Another issue to keep in mind is that we will be moving
glass from hot to cold surfaces, which can cause the glass to crack or break. Extra care should be
taken when lowering the temperature of a beaker to avoid this issue.
Observations/ Results: When boiling the water before placing it in the unknown, my water never
actually came to a boil. It was steaming very heavily and I was losing a considerable amount of
water, especially from my smaller beaker, so I had to just assume that it was hot enough. This may
have affected the amount of material that I got to dissolve. Either way, the fact that it took 51mL
was a good indicator that my unknown was phenacetin, due to phenacetin having a much lower
solubility than acetanilide. I also noticed that even though I had put in more hot water than
phenacetin should have needed to dissolve (45.9mL), white flakes still remained in the beaker. I
assumed these to be impurities. Observations/

164. Zip Lock Lab Report
Purpose:
To discover and observe what happens inside a ziplock bag when three substances are mixed
together.
Hypothesis: When the amount of baking soda added is changed, the amount of gas produced will
change because baking soda creates gas. Meaning when the three substances are mixed, there will
be more gas.
Materials:
3 Zip lock bags
Spoon
Goggles
Small test tube
Bromothymol blue
Citric acid
Baking soda
Beaker
Water (Control)
Procedure:
Carefully measure 1 ½ level scoops of citric acid and place it into the corner of the zip lock bag.
Carefully fill a small test tube ½ full of bromothymol blue and mix it with the citric acid in the
corner of the zip lock bag. Record your observations.

With one scoop, only a small amount of gas is produced. Two scoops produced medium amounts of
gas, filling the bag and making the bag decently firm. Three scoops of baking soda produces a lot of
gas and also the most gas of the three trials.
Diagram:
Conclusion: In conclusion, the more baking that was added in the reaction the more gas that was
produced. When there was only one scoop of baking soda, the least amount of gas was produced,

165. when three scoops of baking soda were used, the most amount of gas was produced. The number of
bubbles roughly stayed the same, so the number of bubbles created was not affected by the amount
of baking soda. With increments of 1 scoop of baking soda, small amounts of gas are produced each
trial. We compared each trial by identifying the firmness of the bag due to the gas. Since gas takes
up space of the bag, the more firm the bag is, the more gas is produced. Therefore, our hypothesis of
having more baking soda will make more gas is correct.
Discussion:
Our observations of the lab are important because they tell us what we saw and what will happen
when the three mixtures reacted together. Observation can be done qualitatively and quantitatively,
keeping records of the information more detailed and resourceful. If we didn't write down
