Elements Compounds and Mixtures HW for Assessment 2021

Exercise 1 – Particles in elements, mixtures and compounds

Check the structures of the following materials, and fit them to their
descriptions…

Description Letter

A solid structure made of an element


A diatomic gas for example oxygen O2
A mixture of an element and a compound
A mixture of two compounds
A mixture of two elements
A compound made up of three different elements
joined together
A compound which could be water
A noble gas like Helium made up of single atoms
A compound which could be HCl
(9 marks)
Exercise 2 – Mixtures and Compounds

In an experiment, Iron and Sulfur are mixed together to form a mixture.


Sulfur and Iron are then HEATED together to form Iron Sulfide.
a. Name two elements mentioned above: (2 marks)
-
-
b. Name the compound mentioned above: (1 mark)
-
c. Explain the difference between an element and a compound: (2 marks)
-
d. Explain the difference between a mixture and a compound, using the
experiment above as an example. (2 marks)
-
e. A magnet is passed over the mixture, then passed over the compound.
The iron from the mixture was attracted to the magnet, but nothing
happened when the magnet was passed over the compound. Why?
(Choose the correct answer.) (1 mark)
• Elements lose their properties when they form a compound.
• The iron becomes a different element when it forms a compound.
• The magnet is not strong enough to attract the iron from the
compound.

f. When water was added to the mixture, the sulfur floated at the top,
while the iron sank to the bottom. When water was added to iron sulfide,
it sank to the bottom. This shows that:
(Choose the correct answer.) (1 mark)
• The Sulfur in the compound is heavier than the sulfur in the
mixture.
• The iron and the sulfur in the compound cannot be separated easily.
• The sulfur in a compound can be separated from iron using water.
Exercise 3 – Elements and Compounds

Fill in the table below by choosing the correct name for the symbol or
formula using the word bank. State whether each is an element or
compound.

Carbon Sodium Chloride Oxygen Carbon dioxide


Water Hydrogen Calcium oxide Magnesium
NAME Element OR
SYMBOL

(16 marks)
Exercise 4 – The Elements

The teacher has some jars with different elements inside them. Read the
information about each jar and answer the questions that follow:

Element A A pinkish-orange solid used to make wires


Element B An orange-brown liquid which easily forms brown fumes
Element C A colourless unreactive gas, lighter than air, used in
children’s balloons
Element D A shiny silvery solid that is a good conductor of heat
Element E Can be made into thin sheets – used for wrapping food
Element F Yellow brittle solid with a very low melting point
Element G Yellow-green gas which is poisonous when inhaled
Element H Silvery shiny liquid which conducts heat and electricity well

a. In the table below, state whether each element is a metal or non-


metal, and explain which property made you decide it is a metal or non-
metal.

Element Metal or Non-metal Reason (Property)


A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
(16 marks)

b. From the list of elements shown below, match the name to the element
which fits best the description. (8 marks)

Chlorine Sulfur Bromine Helium Aluminium


Iron Copper Oxygen Mercury Magnesium
A= C= E= G=
B= D= F= H=
Exercise 5 – Making compounds

Complete the table below showing the compounds formed when two
elements react together. (6 marks)

Element 1 Element 2 Compound formed

Carbon dioxide

Zinc Oxygen

Iron sulfide

Sodium Chlorine

Exercise 6 – Physical and Chemical changes

Sarah was cooking in the kitchen. For each step, state whether a physical or
chemical change is taking place:
(6 marks)
Physical/Chemical
First she cut up some salad.
Then she beat an egg in a bowl.
She lit the gas burner, and the fuel burned with a
blue flame.
She then fried the egg in the pan.
Sarah ate the egg and salad.
She then dissolved some sugar in her tea.
Exercise 7 – Chemical Reactions

a. John did not take care of his bicycle. The shiny silver iron turned into a
reddish-brown crumbly substance.

i. What evidence is there that a chemical


reaction has taken place? (2 marks)
-
The following is the word equation for
rusting: Use it to answer the questions
about rusting. (3 marks)

Iron + Oxygen + Water → Hydrated Iron (III) Oxide

ii. What does Iron need to be able to rust:


-
-
iii. What is the chemical name for rust?
-
iv. How is rusting usually prevented in
bicycles? (Name just one way) (1 mark)
-
b. When hydrochloric acid was added to calcium carbonate, carbon
dioxide gas was released.

i. How would you have noticed that a gas is being released?


(2 marks)
-
ii. Complete the word equation for the reaction that is happening
between hydrochloric acid and calcium carbonate: (3 marks)

_____________ + __________ → Calcium Chloride + ____________________

iii. Very simply, how would you test for the carbon dioxide gas
collected in the syringe? (this was done in the topic Healthy Living)
(2 marks)
-
Exercise 6 – More physical and chemical changes
