Experiment 2C Identifying Elements, Compounds and Mixtures

This experiment involves testing a liquid by boiling it to identify elements, compounds, or mixtures. Similarly, testing a solid includes visual clues, magnetism, dissolution in water, filtration, and evaporation to distinguish between substances. By observing residues after various tests, you can determine the nature of the original sample.

  1. Experiment 2CIdentifying Elements, Compounds and Mixtures

  2. Testing a Liquid Boil the liquid and look for a residue after boiling. If a residue is present, the original sample was a_________________ If no residue, the sample could have been a _________________

  3. NOTE: There are only two liquid elements at room temperature: Mercury and Bromine

  4. Testing a Solid • Look for visual clues • Test with a magnet – If all magnetic, could be__________________________ • If some magnetic and some not, could be __________________________

  5. There are no elements that are white crystals or powders!! I am NOT an element! Neither am I!

  6. Try to dissolve sample in water • Filter. Look for a residue. Save the filtrate If a residue is found in the filter, there is a substance which doesn’t dissolve in water. Filtrate comes through the paper

  7. Evaporate a small sample of the filtrate and look for another residue after evaporation If a residue is found in the test tube after evaporation, there must be a substance that DID dissolve in water. If no residue is found, then maybe nothing dissolved in the water.

  8. If there was a residue in the paper, but not in the evaporated filtrate, then nothing dissolved. The sample could have been __________________________________________ If there was no residue in the paper, but a residue in the test-tube then all the sample dissolved. The sample could have been __________________________________________If there is one residue in the paper and another residue in the test-tube, the original sample must have been a ______________________________
