Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.34 Mixtures, Solutions, and Separation Techniques skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
The image shown includes four possible particle models for a sample that looks clear, stays uniform, cannot be separated by a simple filter, and leaves crystals behind after evaporation. Which model best matches the sample?
AA beaker with one kind of particle only
BA beaker with two kinds of particles spread evenly throughout
CA beaker with heavy particles settled on the bottom
DA beaker with two liquid layers stacked on top of each other
Solution & Explanation:A clear, uniform sample that leaves solid crystals after evaporation is best modeled as a solution with dissolved particles spread evenly through the liquid.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A class wants to get drinkable water from a salt solution during an outdoor science challenge. Which plan is most likely to work?
AHeat the solution so water vapor forms, then cool the vapor and collect the condensed liquid in a clean container.
BPour the solution through a paper filter and drink what comes through.
CUse a screen with larger holes than the water molecules.
DShake the solution until the salt disappears forever.
Solution & Explanation:The water must be separated as vapor and then condensed if the goal is to recover the water itself, not just the salt.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A recycling line uses a blower, a magnet, and a screen. Mixed waste includes steel cans, paper scraps, and small stones. Which statement best explains the role of the magnet?
AThe magnet attracts the steel cans while leaving the paper and stones behind.
BThe magnet blows the paper into a separate bin.
CThe magnet dissolves the stones so they pass through the screen.
DThe magnet measures the mass of every item on the line.
Solution & Explanation:The magnet works because steel is magnetic, while paper and stones are not.
