QUESTION 1

1.1 Define the following terms:

1.1.1 Solvent

Solvent: A solvent is a substance that is able to dissolve other substances,
usually solids, liquids, or gases, to form a solution. Common solvents include
water, ethanol, and acetone. Solvents are commonly used in laboratory
settings, industrial processes, and everyday household activities such as
cleaning.

including solid, liquid, and gas.

1.2 Give an example of a heterogenous mixture. (2)

1.3 Identify 2 different ways of separating homogenous mixtures (4)
1. Filtration: This method involves passing a mixture through a filter, which allows the
liquid components to pass through while trapping the solid components. An example
of this is separating sand from water.


2. Distillation: This method involves heating a mixture to vaporize the components
with different boiling points, then condensing and collecting the vapors. An example
of this is separating alcohol from water in the process of making spirits.
