Exercise 3 :
Part A
A student went to the chemistry lab of his school and measured the density of three
immiscible liquids : Vinegar , mercury and oil. He tabulated the results in the adjacent
table.
1- Specify the type of this mixture. Which mixture ??
2- The three liquids formed three layers (X) , (Y) and (Z) as shown in the adjacent
figure .
Give the name of each layer.
i- Layer (x):
ii- Layer(Y):
iii- Layer(z):
3- The student used the adjacent set up to separate the contents of the above beaker.
He poured the three liquids in glassware (A). doc-1
a- Give the name of glassware (A).
b- Name and define the corresponding
separation technique.
c- Justify the following statement :
Can we use
the above technique can not be used to
separate a mixture of water and alcohol
Justify your answer.
Part (B)
Consider a beaker containing a mixture (A) which is formed of sand , salt and water . we pour this
mixture into a conical flask beaker through a funnel fitted with a filter paper as shown in document
(1).
Referring to document (2):
1- Identify the type of mixture (A).
2- How many phases are formed. Specify them.
3- Name the separation technique shown
in the adjacent document.
4- Identify the residue and the filtrate.
