CLASSIFICATION OF MATTER

I. PROCEDURE:

A. Element vs. Compound


a. Burning of Magnesium (Mg) Ribbon
1. Sand a piece of Mg ribbon (1 cm long) and examine its appearance and
record your observations.
2. Hold it at the hottest part of the Bunsen flame using a pair of crucible tongs.
(Make sure your face is at a safe distance from the burning Mg ribbon.)
3. Observe what happens as the Mg ribbon burns.
4. Examine the burnt residue and record your observations.
5. Which is the element, the Mg ribbon, or the burnt residue?
6. What happened to the Mg ribbon when burned?

a. Burning of Table Sugar


1. Place 0.5g of table sugar in a cracked test tube and hold in the Bunsen flame
until the sugar melts into a brown then black residue.
2. What happened to the sugar when heated?
3. Which is the element and which is the compound?
4. What is the substance found near the mouth of the test tube?

B. Homogeneous vs. Heterogeneous Mixture


a. Sugar Solution
1. Place 0.5g sugar in test tube.
2. Add 5 mL of water.
3. Shake the test tube and then observe what happens.
 Are there any undissolved sugar particles?
 The substance that dissolves is called the solute while the dissolving
medium is called the solvent.
 Can you still see the sugar particles in the water?
 How many phases do you see?
 What type of mixture is it?

b. Salt and Sand Mixture


1. Observe the individual physical appearances of salt and sand.
2. Place 1g of sand and 1g of salt crystals in an evaporating dish.
3. Mix them up with a stirring rod.
 Can you still distinguish the sand from the salt particles?
 How many phases do you see?
 What type of mixture is it?

c. Common Household Chemicals
1. Recognition of household chemicals used at home may help us in their
proper use and thus avoid poisoning or accidents.

Examine the given substances marked A – O with their specific commercial names.
Classify them as element or compound or mixture (heterogeneous or homogeneous
substance). Fill out Table C of the report sheet.
