1) The document discusses the classification and properties of pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances are classified as elements and compounds, while mixtures can be homogeneous or heterogeneous.
2) The key differences between pure substances and mixtures are outlined. Pure substances are uniform in composition while mixtures contain two or more substances. Components of mixtures can be separated physically but not for pure substances.
3) Various techniques for separating components of mixtures are described, including evaporation, centrifugation, decantation, sublimation, chromatography, distillation and crystallization. These methods exploit differences in properties of the components.
