Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 4.20 Diagrams of Separation Methods skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A beaker contains iron filings, sand, and saltwater. Three setup diagrams are labeled X for magnet separation, Y for filtration, and Z for evaporation. Which order of diagrams separates the mixture safely and completely?
AX, then Y, then Z
BY, then X, then Z
CZ, then X, then Y
DY, then Z, then X
Solution & Explanation:First remove the iron filings with a magnet, then filter out the sand, and finally evaporate the saltwater to leave the salt.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
After soil is separated from water by filtration, which statement about residue and filtrate is correct?
Athe soil on the filter paper is the residue, and the liquid in the beaker is the filtrate
Bthe soil in the beaker is the filtrate, and the paper is the residue
Cthe filtrate is the magnet, and the residue is the funnel
Dthe residue turns into water vapor right away
Solution & Explanation:Residue is the solid trapped by the filter paper, and filtrate is the liquid that passes through.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A flowchart for filtration has four blanks for these words: mixture, filter paper, residue, filtrate. Which order completes the flowchart correctly?
Amixture -> filter paper -> residue stays on paper -> filtrate collects below
Bfiltrate -> residue -> mixture -> filter paper
Cfilter paper -> hot plate -> mixture -> steam
Dmixture -> magnet -> residue -> dish
Solution & Explanation:In filtration, the mixture meets the filter paper, the residue stays on the paper, and the filtrate collects below.
