Science Unit 3

a material composed of two or more substances in any proportion that are physically combined

• Heterogenous

• Mixture

• Distillation

• Alloy

a mixture whose substances are distributed evenly throughout the mixture

• Heterogenous

• Homogenous

• Alloy

• Mixture

a mixture whose substances are not distributed evenly throughout the mixture

• Heterogenous

• Homogenous

• Alloy

• Mixture

the process of separating a suspension of small solid particles suspended in liquid or air,

by forcing the mixture through a filter of fine mesh fibers

• Distillation

• Centrifuge

• Filtration

• Dissolve

the process of separating a liquid solution through boiling when the

substances in the mixture have different boiling points

• Centrifuge

• Distillation

• Filtration

• Dissolve

the process of separating a liquid solution using a

mechanical device that spins at high speeds

• Centrifuge

• Distillation

• Dissolve

• Filtration

the process of one substance being absorbed into

another so thoroughly that it appears to disappear

• Centrifuge

• Distillation

• Dissolve

• Alloy

homogeneous mixture where one of the substances

is a metal and the mixture has the characteristics of a metal

• Centrifuge

• Distillation

• Alloy

• Mixture

one would use centrifuge rather than filtration to separate a liquid solution when

• the suspended particles are too small

  
  

• the suspended particles are too large

a homogeneous mixture where one of the substances dissolves in the other

• Solution

• Solvent

• Colloid

• Solute
