The correct response to separate two liquids that form a solution is:

heating the liquids and letting one boil away first.

This process is known as distillation, which is effective for separating liquids with different boiling points.

Which property could allow a student to easily separate sand and iron filings?(1 point)
Responses

magnetism
magnetism

solubility
solubility

melting point
melting point

boiling point

The correct response is:

magnetism.

Iron filings are magnetic, while sand is not, allowing the student to easily separate the two using a magnet.

You are worried that a solid substance has dissolved in a beaker of water in a lab. What would be a way to separate the substance from the water?(1 point)
Responses

Boil the water away, leaving the substance behind in the beaker.

Pour the liquid along a rough surface that would catch the solid particles but not the water.

Pass the solution through a filter to let the dissolved substance separate.
Pass the solution through a filter to let the dissolved substance separate.

The correct response is:

Boil the water away, leaving the substance behind in the beaker.

This process allows the water to evaporate, leaving the solid substance behind. Note that if the substance has completely dissolved in water (creating a true solution), it cannot be separated by filtration or magnetism. However, if it is a soluble solid, boiling will effectively leave the solute once the water has evaporated.

A beaker contains a mixture of sand and salt. A student adds water to dissolve the salt. Which processes can be used to separate out the sand and salt?(1 point)
Responses

filtration to collect both the sand and the salt
filtration to collect both the sand and the salt

distillation to collect the sand and filtration to collect the salt
distillation to collect the sand and filtration to collect the salt

distillation to collect both the sand and the salt
distillation to collect both the sand and the salt

filtration to collect the sand and distillation to collect the salt

The correct response is:

filtration to collect the sand and distillation to collect the salt.

In this process, filtration is used to separate the undissolved sand from the saltwater solution, and then distillation can be used to evaporate the water, leaving the salt behind.

The expression that is correctly developed to use the Product Rule of Exponents is:

10^8 × 10^8.

The Product Rule states that when multiplying two numbers with the same base, you can add their exponents (e.g., \( a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n} \)). In this case, \( 10^8 \times 10^8 \) can be simplified using the rule.

Which of the following correctly used the Product Rule of Exponents to simplify the expression 1008⋅1007 ?(1 point)
Responses

20015
200 superscript 15 baseline

10015
100 superscript 15 baseline

10056
100 superscript 56 baseline

10,00015

The expression \( 10^{08} \cdot 10^{07} \) can be simplified using the Product Rule of Exponents, which states that you add the exponents when multiplying like bases. Thus:

\[ 10^{08} \cdot 10^{07} = 10^{(8+7)} = 10^{15}. \]

So, the correct response is:

100^15.
