Solvent: Water
62. Give 3 examples of heterogeneous mixtures.
- Oil and water.
- Sand and water.
- Oil and vinegar.
63. Name 2 components that are in the air we breathe?
- Oxygen
- Hydrogen
64. What is dissolution?
This occurs when 2 or more substances form a solution.
65. Give the name of 4 methods of the separation of mixtures.
- Sedementation
- Decantation
- Filtration
- Distilation
66. What is sedimentation?
Sedimentation is when you leave a mixture sit for a long time, after a while the
heavier particles sink to the bottom of the container.
67. What heats up the mixture in the first step of distillation process?
A heating plate.
68. Is tap water a pure substance or a homogenous mixture? Explain.
It is a homogenous mixture because tap water has many different particles including
minerals that you can't see which forms a homogenous mixture.
69. What is the fastest method of separating mixtures? Explain.
Filtration. This is done through the use of a filter paper which separates big particles
from small particles. This is efficient and quicker than sedimentation and decantation
combined.

70. What is the most effective method of separating mixtures? Explain.
Distilation. Distillation relies on a characteristic property of substances: their boiling
point. If you wish to separate salt from water, you may begin by boiling water at
100°C. The water turns into water vapour. The vapour then condenses in the
“condenser” and accumulates in a beaker or a flask. If you wish to separate salt from
water, you may begin by boiling water at 100°C. The water turns into water vapour.
The vapour then condenses in the “condenser” and accumulates in a beaker or a
flask.
72. Give examples of pure substances.
Pure water. Salt, Sugar, Aluminum, carbon, oxygen, silver, gold, diamond.
73. What has happened when a chemical change occurs?
Bonds between atoms change and form new molecules that are almost impossible
to reverse.
74. Give a example for each of the 5 chemical changes.
- Color: Rust
- Heat: Fire that burned paper.
- Residue: Precipritate
- Gas: Bread toasting.
- Light: Fireworks.
75. When a substance undergoes a transformation, does the mass change? Explain.
No, it keeps the same weight, because of Antoine de Lavoisier's rule. Nothing is lost,
nothing is created.
76. What is compost? What is its goal? What does it do for the environment?
Compost is a mixture of organic and mineral substances resembling black earth. It
results from the decomposition of plant and animal residues. It is the recycling of
organic matter to create a rich soil ideal for planting crops in a farm or plants at
home
77. Give 3 example of products that do go in compost and 3 that do not.
Do go:



Apple peals
Eggshells

What
is
the
difference
between
temperature
and
heat?
Temperature: It is an indirect indication of the amount of energy in degree Celsius.
We know that particles are always moving and that their speed depends on their
temperature.The temperature of a substance provides an indication of the average
speed of motion of these particles.

melting point,
solubility, etc.
81. What are genes?
They are organisms that contain information that can be transmitted into
generations and can code for substances involved in chemical reactions in the body.
82. What are chromosomes?
Genes are bundled up into these X-shaped objects, they are found in all cells of the
body.
83. What are genetic characteristics?
They differentiate one individual from another like hair colour, eye colour, etc.
84. What is a genetic mutation?
A change or modification in genes that can be beneficial or harmful to the organism.
85. What is hereditary information?
Information transmitted from one generation onto another.
86. What is transmission of genetic mutation?
Transmitted of information from one generation onto another.
87. What is dominant gene?
