- 1.
A mixture is ...
- A.
A pure substancae
- B.
Two or more substances mixed together
- C.
Both A and B
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Two or more substances mixed togetherExplanation
The correct answer is "Two or more substances mixed together." A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are physically combined but not chemically bonded. In a mixture, each substance retains its own properties and can be separated through physical means, such as filtration or distillation. This is different from a pure substance, which consists of only one type of particle and cannot be separated into other substances by physical means. Therefore, a mixture is a combination of multiple substances mixed together.Rate this question:

Mixtures can be classified into 2 types, homogeneous and heterogenous. They are different because
- A.
Heterogenous has 2 substances. Homogenous has 3 or more substances
- B.
Homogeneous looks the same throughout, with heterogenous you can see the different parts
- C.
Heterogeneous looks the same throughout, with homogeneous you can see the different parts
- D.
They are the same, just different names
Correct Answer
B. Homogeneous looks the same throughout, with heterogenous you can see the different partsExplanation
The correct answer is that homogeneous mixtures look the same throughout, while heterogeneous mixtures allow you to see the different parts. This is because in homogeneous mixtures, the substances are evenly distributed and cannot be easily distinguished, whereas in heterogeneous mixtures, the substances are not evenly distributed and can be visually identified.Rate this question:

Another name for homogeneous is
- A.
Solution
- B.
Solvent
- C.
Solute
- D.
Saline
Correct Answer
A. SolutionExplanation
A solution is a mixture where the components are evenly distributed, making it homogeneous. Therefore, the correct answer is "solution." A solvent is the substance in which solutes dissolve, solute is the substance being dissolved, and saline refers specifically to a solution containing salt.Rate this question:

To separate a mixture of sand and iron it is easiest to use
- A.
Floating
- B.
Picking them out
- C.
A magnet
- D.
Filter with filter paper
Correct Answer
C. A magnetExplanation
A magnet is the easiest way to separate a mixture of sand and iron because iron is magnetic, while sand is not. By using a magnet, the iron particles can be attracted and separated from the sand particles, allowing for a quick and efficient separation process.Rate this question:

Solutions are made of at least 2 parts called
- A.
Solution and solute
- B.
Solute and solvent
- C.
Solvent and saline
- D.
Solution and solvent
Correct Answer
B. Solute and solventExplanation
A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. The solute is the substance that is dissolved in the solution, while the solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute. Therefore, the correct answer is "solute and solvent" as these are the two essential components of a solution.Rate this question:

I'm making soup for lunch. Which would be faster, rock salt or regular table salt?
- A.
Rock salt
- B.
Table salt
- C.
Both of these
- D.
None of these
Correct Answer
B. Table saltExplanation
Table salt is smaller than rock salt. Since they are the same substance (salt), the only difference is the size of the particle. From your experiment with powdered sugar and the sugar cube, you know that smaller particle sizes dissolve faster than larger particle sizes.Rate this question:
-
- 7.
What else can I do to make the salt in my soup dissolve faster?
- A.
Add a lot of table salt
- B.
Stir
- C.
Add heat
- D.
Let it sit
Correct Answer(s)
B. Stir
C. Add heatExplanation
Both stirring and adding heat will help the salt dissolve faster. Letting it sit, the salt would eventually dissolve, but it would be slower. Adding more salt would only mean there is more salt to dissolve.Rate this question:

Which of the following are homogeneous mixtures?
- A.
Water
- B.
Rocky road ice cream
- C.
Shampoo
- D.
Oatmeal
Correct Answer(s)
A. Water
C. ShampooExplanation
Homogeneous mixtures are uniform throughout, meaning that the components are evenly distributed and not easily distinguishable. Water and shampoo both fit this description as they are single-phase mixtures where the substances are evenly distributed at a molecular level. On the other hand, rocky road ice cream and oatmeal are not homogeneous mixtures as they contain visibly distinct components, such as chocolate chunks and marshmallows in ice cream, and different-sized oat flakes in oatmeal.Rate this question:

Which of the following are mechanical mixtures?
- A.
Chocolate bar with almonds
- B.
Chocolate milk
- C.
Flat pop
- D.
Orange juice with pulp
Correct Answer(s)
A. Chocolate bar with almonds
D. Orange juice with pulpExplanation
A mechanical mixture is a mixture where the different components can be easily distinguished and separated. In the case of a chocolate bar with almonds, the chocolate and almonds are clearly visible and can be separated if desired. Similarly, orange juice with pulp is a mechanical mixture because the pulp is visible and can be separated from the juice. On the other hand, chocolate milk and flat pop are not mechanical mixtures as the components (milk and chocolate, carbonated water and flavorings) are not easily distinguishable and cannot be separated easily.Rate this question:

What happens when you try to make a solution of salt and oil?
- A.
It becomes a homogeneous solution, the salt dissolves into the oil
- B.
It becomes a heterogeneous mixture, the salt doesn't dissovle into the oil
- C.
The oil can only dissolve a little bit of salt
- D.
All of these
Correct Answer
B. It becomes a heterogeneous mixture, the salt doesn't dissovle into the oilExplanation
When you try to make a solution of salt and oil, it becomes a heterogeneous mixture because the salt does not dissolve into the oil. Unlike water, oil is not a polar solvent, so it cannot dissolve the polar molecules of salt. Therefore, the salt particles remain separate and do not mix evenly with the oil, resulting in a heterogeneous mixture.Rate this question:

- D.
Add water, filter out the salt, boil off the water to get the pepper
Correct Answer
C. Add water, filter out the pepper, boil off the water to get saltExplanation
The salt will dissolve in the water, pepper will not. It is too hard to separate the salt and pepper because they are both so small.Rate this question:

You are given a mystery object in science class. Your teacher asks you to determine if your object is more or less dense than water. You place the object in the water and it sinks. What statement would best describe this situation?
- A.
The mystery substance is denser than water.
- B.
Water is denser than the mystery substance.
- C.
They both have the same mass.
- D.
The mystery substance must be hollow.
Correct Answer
A. The mystery substance is denser than water.Explanation
The fact that the mystery object sinks when placed in water indicates that it is denser than water. Objects with higher density than the liquid they are placed in will sink, while objects with lower density will float. Therefore, the statement "The mystery substance is denser than water" best describes the situation.Rate this question:
