Determining Numbers of Protons, Neutrons and Electrons using the Periodic Table of Elements
During the White Lab students took a sample of a mixture that contained sugar (melts under
heat) and cornstarch (turns blue with iodine). The mixture sample that some students burned
did not melt (not because of student error), how is that possible?
How is a compound different from a mixture?
a. Compounds have two or more components
b. Each substance in a compound loses its characteristic properties
c. Compounds are found in nature
d. Solids, liquids and gases can form compounds
When elements form mixtures, the elements
a. Keep their original properties
b. React to form a new substance with new properties
c. Combine in a specific mass ratio
d. Always change state
Which of the following is NOT a reason that compounds are considered pure substances?
a. They are composed of only one type of particle
b. The particles are made of atoms of two or more elements that are chemically
combined
c. Different samples of any compound have the same elements in the same proportion
d. They can be separated by physical methods
Which identity statement below is correct?
a. Milk is a compound, iron is an element, M&M’s are a mixture
b. Salt is a compound, aluminum is an element, sugar is a mixture
c. Vinegar is a compound, carbon is a element, paint is a mixture
d. Air is a compound, oxygen is a element, carbon dioxide is a mixture

We made ICE CREAM! Yay, hopefully it was delicious  However it also related to science. Fill
in the table below based on the science of ice cream. A summary of the process follows.
SUMMARY OF MAKING ICE CREAM: A large bag contained ice and salt. A small bag had milk,
vanilla and sugar. The small bag was sealed and placed inside the larger bag with the ice and
salt. The two bags were shook until ice cream formed.
Question
What type of change
does the NaCl cause
when added to ice?
Circle Correct Answer
Physical

Ice is solute, salt is solvent
In salt water…
Ice is solvent, salt is solute
What type of mixture
is salt water?
What type of mixture
is ice cream?
Upon adding NaCl to
H2O what happens to
particles?
