salt water: salt dissolves evenly in water. Is it a mixture or a solution?
- pure substance
- solution
- new substance
- mixture
Which evidence supports calling salt water a solution?
- the parts can still be seen and picked out
- two liquid layers can be seen
- no salt grains are visible after stirring
- the liquid looks the same throughout
Which method could separate oil and water?
- sort the pieces by hand
- filter the water through paper
- pour or skim off the oil layer
- use a magnet to remove the iron
The graph shows mass before and after making salt water. What does it support?
- a solution has no mass
- the matter disappears after mixing
- all mixtures become pure water
- the total mass stays the same when no material is lost
Which question belongs in a mixtures and solutions investigation about trail mix?
- Can the parts be separated by their properties?
- Does the sample have a predator?
- How many syllables are in the sample name?
- Which Moon phase is shown?
