A student prepares two separate samples by combining a salt (NH₄Cl), sand (SiO₂), and water (H₂O). Both samples are at the same temperature, thoroughly stirred, and then allowed to stand. The mass of each component used to make the samples is listed in the data table shown.  How would you best classify the prepared samples?

• Element
• Compound
• Heterogeneous Mixture
• Homogeneous Mixture

A student prepares two separate samples by combining a salt (NH₄Cl), sand (SiO₂), and water (H₂O) at 15°C. Both samples are thoroughly stirred and allowed to stand. The mass of each component used to make the samples is listed in the data table shown.  How would the student separate out the sand by physical means from the rest of the sample?

• Add additional water to dissolve the sand.
• Evaporate the water.
• Pour the sample through a filter paper.
• The components can not be separated by physical means.

Examine the samples in the image shown.  The identity of the material in each box is the same.   Which sample would be most easily compressed?

• Solid
• Liquid
• Gas
• All samples are equally compressible because their identities are the same.
