What is the relationship between the properties of components in a mixture and the appropriate separation technique to use? The properties of components_________________________________.
determine the separation technique
do not affect the separation technique
only affect the cost of the separation technique

How does the process of decantation work in the separation of a mixture?
by using a sieve
by dissolving the mixture
by heating the mixture to separate components
by pouring off the top layer of liquid, leaving sediment behind
Why does evaporation separate a saltwater mixture?
It separates by density.
It causes the salt to dissolve.
It relies on magnetic properties.
It allows the solvent to evaporate, leaving behind the solute
Why is centrifugation an effective method for separating mixtures?
because it relies on gravity
by altering chemical properties
due to variations in density or size
due to differences in electrical charges
Which of Dalton's postulates explains the law of definite proportions?
Atoms are indivisible and indestructible.
All atoms of a given element are identical.
Atoms combine in small whole-number ratios.
Atoms of different elements can combine to form compounds.
How did Dalton's Atomic Theory help explain the law of conservation of mass?
by linking atomic masses to atomic numbers
by demonstrating that atoms are divisible into subatomic particles
by revealing that the mass of an atom changes during a chemical reaction
by showing that atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions
What was the Ancient Greek belief about the composition of elements?
Elements were considered unchanging and eternal, similar to atoms.
Elements were believed to be made of smaller particles called "elementons."
