Test your knowledge on mixtures in this science quiz.

1. Define a mixture in terms of chemistry.

2. Give an example of a homogeneous mixture that you can find in your home.

3. What is the difference between a solution and a suspension?

4. How can you separate a mixture into its components? Give two examples of separation techniques.

5. What is the Tyndall effect? How can it be used to distinguish between a solution and a suspension?

Answers:

1. A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined.
2. Example of a homogeneous mixture can be saltwater.
3. A solution is a homogeneous mixture where solute particles are too small to be seen, while a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture where solute particles can be seen and tend to settle to the bottom.
4. A mixture can be separated by physical means. For example, a magnet can be used to separate iron filings from sand. Distillation can also be used to separate a mixture of two liquids with different boiling points.
5. The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by colloidal particles in a solution or suspension, which makes the path of the light visible. This effect can be used to distinguish between a solution and a suspension because a solution will not exhibit the Tyndall effect, while a suspension will.
