1. A mixture (shown below) contains the following components: (1) salt, (2) water,
and (3) gasoline. Discuss the separation techniques needed to separate the
mixture back into its individual components.
gasoline

In a common laboratory experiment in general chemistry, students are asked to determine the relative amounts of benzoic acid and charcoal in a solid mixture. Benzoic acid is relatively soluble in hot water, hut charcoal is not. Devise a method for separating the two components of this mixture
Read the descriptions below of two substances and an experiment on each. Decide whether the result of the experiment tells you
the substance is a pure substance or a mixture, if you can.
• Sample A is 100. g of a coarse grey powder with a faint unpleasant smell. 15. g of the powder is put into a funnel lined with
a sheet of thick paper. Distilled water is poured slowly over the powder. All of the powder disappears, and the water under
the funnel turns a deep purple.
• Sample B is a solid yellow cube with a total mass of 50.0 g. The cube is ground to a fine orange powder and added to a
500 mL beaker full of water. The beaker is stirred vigorously. Some of orange powder settles to the bottom of the beaker,
and some rises to the top and floats on the water. When the powder at both the bottom and the top of the beaker is filtered
out, dried, and weighed, the total mass is measured to be 50.1 g.
