4 Daniel has dropped two glass jars containing sugar and salt as he tried to get them down from 5
the kitchen cupboard. He now has a mixture of glass, sugar and salt. Describe in detail how he
could separate the three substances. Sugar and salt are both soluble in water, but only Sugar is
soluble in ethanol (remember that ethanol is flammable and should not be heated directly)

5 Read the sentences below:
When copper sulphate is dissolved in water in a beaker, a bright blue liquid or solution is
formed. If copper sulphate is added until no more will dissolve, a saturated solution is formed.
Some blue crystals will remain at the bottom of the beaker. Choose words from the sentences
above to answer the following questions.
a) What was the solvent used?
b) What was the solute used?

and a mixture of elements, a mixture of compounds and a mixture of element and compound.
a) compound b) mixture of elements
c) mixture of compounds d) element
7 With reference to the following diagram, fill in the blanks with the appropriate word from 6
the box.
vaporization melting indefinite solid liquid definite
At point A, the substance exists in a state. Material in this phase has
volume and definite shape. With each passing minute, heat or energy is added to
the substance. This causes the molecules of the substance to move more rapidly which we
detect by a temperature rise in the substance. Point B, shows the point of the
substance. At point C, the substance is in the state. Material in this phase (state)
has definite volume and shape. During the time from point D to point E, the
process happens.
