September 2nd

Today students will be in the computer lab to complete a webquest on Classifying Mixtures:
Name __________________________________________   Date __________________
Classifying Mixtures Web Quest
Log on to my website to find the websites needed to complete this activity.  You will find the links under chemistry.

Part 1:  What is a mixture?
Use this website to answer the following questions:

A mixture is a substance made by ___________________________________________________________ in such a way that _____________________________________. A mixture can usually be _________________________ back into its __________________________ components.
Some examples of mixtures are:

___________________________
___________________________
________________________
Part 2:  What is a solution? 
Use this website to answer the following questions: http://www.ducksters.com/science/chemistry/solutions_and_dissolving.php

A solution is a __________________________________________________ where one substance is ______________________________ into another. A solution is the _____________________________, throughout which makes it a homogeneous mixture. 

A solution has certain characteristics:
  • It is _________________________, or homogeneous, throughout the mixture
  • It is ______________________________________________ over time or settle
  • The solute particles are so small _______________________________________________ by filtering
  • The solute and solvent molecules _______________________________ distinguished by the naked eye
  • It _______________________________ scatter a beam of light
Example of a Solution 
One example of a solution ______________________________ which is a mixture of water and salt. You __________________________________________ and the salt and water will stay a solution if left alone. 
Parts of a Solution
  • Solute - The solute is the substance that is ________________________________________________. In the example above, the _________________________ is the solute.
  • Solvent - The solvent is the substance that ________________________________________________.   In the example above, the ___________________________ is the solvent.



Concentration 
The concentration of a solution is the __________________________________ of the solute to solvent. If there is  _________________________________ in a solution, then it is "concentrated". If there is __________________________________________ solute, then the solution is said to be "diluted." 

Part 3:  Solutions can be heterogeneous or homogenous.  
Watch this video clip on heterogeneous and homogenous.   

From the video give an example of a heterogeneous and homogenous mixture.

a.   heterogeneous:  ______________________________________________

b.   homogenous: _________________________________________________
S

Part 4:  Suspensions and Colloids
Use this website to answer these questions:

Suspensions (heterogeneous) 
A suspension is a mixture between a _______________________________________. In this case the ___________________________________________. The particles and the liquid are mixed up so that the ______________________________________. They are ______________________________ in the liquid. A key characteristic of a suspension is that the __________________________________________________ if left alone. 
An example of a suspension is a mixture of __________________________________. When mixed up, the sand will _________________________________ the water. If left alone, the sand will _______________________________________________. 
Colloids (heterogeneous) 
A colloid is a mixture where _____________________________________________. They appear very similar to ___________________________, but the particles are _______________________________________ rather than ___________________. The difference between a colloid and a suspension is _________________________, they will stay suspended or float. 
An example of a colloid is _________________________________. Milk is a mixture of __________________________________________ and _________________________________in water. 
Colloids are generally considered _________________________________ mixtures, but have some qualities of __________________________________ mixtures as well.
