Study Notes
Planet Earth as a Source of Chemicals
- The Earth's crust, oceans, and atmosphere are major sources of chemicals.
- Electrolysis of seawater produces chlorine, hydrogen, and sodium hydroxide.
- Earth's crust contains metals, coal, petroleum, and natural gas.
Classification of Matter
- Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.
- Matter is classified into pure substances and mixtures.
- Mixtures contain two or more pure substances not chemically combined.
- Air is a mixture of gases (nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide).
- Pure substances are either elements or compounds.
Elements and Compounds
- Elements are pure substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical methods.
- Compounds are pure substances made up of two or more elements chemically combined.
- Water (Hâ‚‚O) can be broken down into hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis.
- Examples of common compounds: water, carbon dioxide, and salt (sodium chloride).
- Sodium chloride can be produced by burning sodium metal in chlorine gas.
Mass of Elements in the Earth's Crust
- Oxygen: 46.6%
- Silicon: 27.7%
- Aluminum: 8.1%
- Iron: 5%
- Calcium: 3.6%
- Sodium: 2.8%
- Potassium: 2.6%
- Magnesium: 2.1%
- All other elements: 1.5%
Mixtures and Compounds
- Mixtures have variable composition, while compounds have fixed composition.
- The formation of mixtures involves no chemical reaction, while compound formation involves a chemical reaction (heat absorbed/released).
- Mixtures can be separated by physical methods, while compounds require chemical methods for separation.
- Iron and sulfur can form a mixture or a compound (iron sulfide) depending on the method of combination.
- The melting and boiling points of mixtures are ranges, while those of pure substances are sharp temperatures.
Separation of Constituents
- Mixtures can be separated using physical methods (e.g., filtration, distillation).
- Compounds can only be separated into their constituent elements using chemical methods.
