Mixtures and Solutions

Front

A combination of two or more ingredients where each keeps its own physical properties and can be easily separated.

Back

mixture

Answer explanation

The correct answer is 'mixture' because it describes a combination of two or more ingredients that retain their individual properties and can be easily separated, unlike a solution or dissolved substances.

Front

One of the substances that make up a mixture.

Back

ingredient

Answer explanation

In a mixture, an 'ingredient' refers to one of the components that make it up. Other options like 'solution' and 'dissolve' describe processes or states, not the individual substances within a mixture.

Front

The appearance and measurable characteristics of matter.

Back

Property

Answer explanation

The term 'property' refers to the appearance and measurable characteristics of matter, such as color, density, and mass. Other options like 'ingredient', 'mixture', and 'solution' do not specifically describe these characteristics.

Front

Changes affecting the form of an object, such as cutting or folding paper.

Back

Physical change

Answer explanation

A physical change refers to alterations in the form of an object without changing its chemical composition. Cutting or folding paper exemplifies this, as the paper's material remains the same despite its new shape.

Front

To divide or move into its individual parts.

Back

separate

Answer explanation

The term 'separate' means to divide or move into individual parts, making it the correct choice. 'Ingredients' and 'mixture' refer to components, while 'solution' implies a blend, not division.

Front

A mixture of one substance evenly dissolved in another.

Back

solution

Answer explanation

A solution is defined as a mixture where one substance is evenly dissolved in another. This distinguishes it from other terms like mixture or property, making 'solution' the correct answer.

Front

To mix with a liquid to form a single solution.

Back

dissolve

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'dissolve' because it refers to the process of mixing a solid into a liquid to form a single homogeneous solution, which aligns with the question's requirement.

Front

The process of a liquid turning into a gas when heat is added.

Back

evaporation

Answer explanation

Evaporation is the process where a liquid turns into a gas when heat is added. This distinguishes it from condensation (gas to liquid), melting (solid to liquid), and freezing (liquid to solid).

Front

The part of a solution that dissolves.

Back

Solute

Answer explanation

The solute is the part of a solution that dissolves in the solvent. In this context, the solute is the substance being dissolved, while the solvent is the substance that does the dissolving.

Front

When you separate a mixture with water and one ingredient sinks while another ingredient floats, the property you use is:
Options: evaporation, density, filtration, magnetism

Back

density

Answer explanation

The correct choice is density. When separating a mixture in water, the ingredient that sinks has a higher density than water, while the one that floats has a lower density, allowing for separation based on this property.
