Paradigm Lab (Mixtures): “Separate This!” “There are not more than five primary colors (blue, yellow, red, white, and black), yet in combination they produce more hues than can ever been seen” -Anonymous
Introduction:
Most substances that we come in contact with every day are mixtures. Look at the
ingredient list of any of the food you eat or the personal care product you use. The
purpose of this experiment is to study the physical properties of dyes, salt, sand and
iron and use this information to design and carry out a procedure to separate a
mixture of these substances. The mass percent composition of the mixture can be
calculated from the masses of the recovered components. Now that you have
completed the Physical and Chemical Change lab, you should now have the skills to separate homogeneous
and heterogeneous mixtures. The homogeneous mixture will be the coating (dye) of an M&M. The
heterogeneous mixture is a mixture of sand (silicon dioxide, SiO2), salt (sodium chloride, NaCl), and iron
filings. Your goal is to separate the dyes of the M&M and to separate the solid mixture and determine its
mass percent composition.
This is Your Challenge:
1. Design an experiment that will determine if M&M candies contain mixtures of dyes or if they are single dyes. For example, is the orange color a result of one color or the mixing of two or more colors?
2. Design an experiment to separate the sand, salt and iron and determine the mass percent of each substance. You will turn in a lab report on your own paper.
Background:
Mass percent composition expresses the actual composition of a mixture in terms of the amount of each part. The
mass percentage of each component in a mixture is calculated as follows:
mass % of component = (mass of component total mass of mixture) x 100%
In order to determine the percent composition of a mixture, it is necessary to separate the components
quantitatively - without loss of material- and then measure the mass of each recovered component.
The sum of the mass percentage of all components in a mixture equals 100%.
A flow chart to illustrate the steps to separate a mixture would be very useful. The order of the steps is
extremely important.
Materials: You will have available to you chromatography paper, balance, glassware, hot plate, and magnet in
plastic bag.
Health Hazard: DO NOT EAT THE M & M’s
Pre-lab Questions:
1. The Department of Transportation uses a mixture of sand and salt to de-ice roadways in the winter.
The mixture contains 8.35 tons of salt and 6.28 tons of sand. What is the mass percent of each
component in the mixture?
2. A bakery needs a mixture of flour and sugar to make cookies. The mixture should contain 62.5% flour
and 37.5% sugar. You are in charge of ordering the components to make 275 pounds of the mixture.
How many pounds of flour and sugar should be ordered?

Summary Notes on Mixtures
Mixtures are NOT pure substances. They are a physical combination of more than one
pure substance.
Mixtures can be any combination of solids, liquids and gases:
Solid-solid: Medicine tablet or metal alloys
Solid-gas: Pop Rocks candy
Solid-liquid: Ice water
Liquid-liquid: Lemon water
Gas-Liquid: Carbonated water
Gas-Gas: Air
Mixtures can be classifies as homogeneous or heterogeneous:
Homogeneous mixtures: Every sample you take will have the same distribution of components
throughout. Homogeneous mixtures look the same throughout. Solutions are homogeneous mixtures.
Salt water
Kool-Aid®
Air
Heterogeneous mixtures: Samples you take will have different distributions of components.
Different sizes or types of pieces can be seen (think “lumps,” “chunks,” etc.).
Raisin Bran cereal
Salt and pepper
Silver and gold beads
Vegetable soup
Mixtures can be separated by physical means:
Evaporation (heat the mixture to drive off the liquid; keep the solid)
Distillation (heat the mixture to drive off the liquid; cool the vapor to recover it)
Filtration (collect larger particles using filter paper)
Chromatography (used to separate inks and pigments)
Mechanical separation (using magnets or screens)

Paradigm Lab (Matter): “Energy of the State” “If you can't take the heat, don't tickle the dragon.” -Anonymous
Introduction: Last year we talked about how water’s phase changes (and latent heat) affect our weather (remember, latent heat fueling hurricanes?). This year we’re going to dig deeper into how much energy is really involved (in other words, “what makes it possible to have multiple states of matter?”). You will revisit Q=mcΔT, and will explore the concepts of “heat of fusion” and “heat of vaporization.”
Here’s Your Challenge
Explain how/why the same compound (i.e. water) can exist as a solid, liquid, and gas by following water from
solid ice to the beginnings of steam.
Equipment You Can Use
beaker (250 ml) thermometer
glass stirring rod
ring stand and thermometer clamp
hot plate stop watch
ice cubes
Safety Precautions:
Wear your safety goggles at all times! Be careful when using hotplates or other heat
sources. Handle thermometers with care – never use a thermometer as a stirring rod.
Never heat an empty beaker! Wash hands with soap and water before leaving the lab.
Write Yourself a Procedure! Here are some hints…
1. There are three states of matter you can easily observe in a high school chemistry lab.
2. Changing between states of matter requires energy.
3. Not all changes in energy are associated with changes in temperature.
4. There is a data table provided on the next page. You will be expected to turn in a
graph and calculations according with the answers to the post-lab questions.
Post-Lab Questions
1. Does the temperature rise while the ice is melting? Using what you know about phase changes,
explain why you would or would not expect this result.
2. Does the temperature rise while the after the ice is melted? What does this tell you?
3. Does the temperature rise while the water is boiling? What does this tell you?

Data Table: Temperature vs. Time Collect and Record Data for About 20 Minutes. Graph your data on the following page.
Time (sec) Temp (C) Time (sec) Temp (C) Time (sec) Temp (C)

60 470 890
90 500 920

Apply What You’ve Learned!
Calculate the total amount of energy required to convert 100.00g of solid ice at –10C to steam at 110C.
The “c” or specific heat of solid ice is 2.06 J/gC and of liquid water is 4.18 J/gC.
The formula to determine the heat involved in a temperature change is Q = mcT.
For the phase change solid liquid, the “heat of fusion” is 334.16 J/g.
The formula we use is Q = Hfus mass.
For the phase change solid liquid, the “heat of vaporization” is 680.00 J/g.
The formula we use is Q = Hvap mass.

The Law of Conservation of Matter
Matter cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be rearranged. When elements react, total mass
of the products formed must equal the total mass of the reactants.
