Study Notes
Elements, Compounds and Mixtures
- Everything is composed of elements, which can chemically combine to form compounds.
- Mixtures can be comprised of elements or compounds without any chemical reactions happening between them.
Classification of Substances
- Substances are categorized into three groups: Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures.
- Pure substances cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical methods.
Elements
- An element is a substance that cannot be chemically broken into simpler substances.
- Elements are denoted by symbols derived from their English or Latin names (e.g., H for Hydrogen, O for Oxygen).
- Elements can have one or two letters in their symbols, such as He for Helium or Al for Aluminium.
Characteristics of Compounds
- Compounds can only be separated into their elements by chemical means, not physical ones.
- The atomic properties of elements remain, even when they form compounds (e.g., water retains properties of hydrogen and oxygen).
- Elements in a compound combine in a fixed mass ratio (e.g., water has a mass ratio of 8:1 for oxygen to hydrogen).
Representation of Compounds
- Compounds are represented by chemical formulas indicating the number of atoms of each element (e.g., Hâ‚‚O for water).
- Common compounds include:
- Water (Hâ‚‚O)
- Carbon Dioxide (COâ‚‚)
- Sulphur Dioxide (SOâ‚‚)
Molecules of Elements
- Molecules consist of two or more atoms bonded together, capable of independent existence.
- Examples of molecular forms include diatomic molecules like H₂ (Hydrogen) and O₂ (Oxygen) and polyatomic molecules like O₃ (Ozone), P₄ (Phosphorus), and S₈ (Sulphur).
Characteristics of Mixtures
- Mixtures can be separated into pure components by physical means (e.g., filtration, distillation).
- The proportions of components in a mixture can vary, and their properties are retained (e.g., sugar retains sweetness in a sugar-water mixture).
Types of Mixtures
- Mixtures can be classified based on the physical state of their components, such as solid mixtures (sand and salt) and liquid mixtures (sugar solution).
- Mixtures can be homogeneous (uniform composition, e.g., saltwater) or heterogeneous (distinct composition in different parts, e.g., salad).
Methods of Separation
- Separation methods take advantage of the distinct properties of components, including:
- Magnetic Separation: Uses a magnet to attract magnetic components (e.g., iron filings from chalk).
- Evaporation: Removes liquid to leave behind solids (e.g., salt from saltwater).
- Distillation: Separates liquids based on boiling points, collecting vaporized liquid separately.
- Fractional Distillation: Used for liquids with significantly different boiling points.
- Sublimation: Separates substances that can change from solid to vapor without melting.
- Chromatography: Uses solvent to separate components based on their adsorption properties.
Special Techniques for Separation
- Separating Funnel: Used to separate immiscible liquids that form distinct layers.
- Crystallization: Forms pure crystalline substances from concentrated solutions.
- Dissolution and Evaporation: Involves dissolving soluble components and then evaporating the solvent to recover the solute.
Obtaining Common Salt
- Common salt is obtained by evaporating sea water, concentrating salt as water evaporates until crystallization occurs.
Logistics of Mixture Separation
- Separation methods cater to the specific properties of the components to achieve purity.
- Techniques are used to isolate desirable substances and remove contaminants effectively.### Immiscible Liquids
- Immiscible liquids do not dissolve in one another, with oil and water being a prime example.
- In an experiment, adding colored oils to water creates three distinct layers based on density: oil floats on top due to being lighter, water settles at the bottom.
Chromatography
- A separation technique applied when mixture components are soluble in a solvent.
- Used to segregate pigments from flowers or inks, relying on the principle of adsorption.
- Adsorption involves an adsorbate (substance being adsorbed) coating the surface of an adsorbent (substance capturing the adsorbate).
- Common adsorbents include alumina, silica, and cellulose in various forms.
- Paper Chromatography: utilizes filter paper or chromatographic paper to separate mixtures.
- As a liquid mix is placed on an adsorbent, different components adsorb to varying extents, leading to distinct movement speeds and separation.
Key Terminology
- Stationary Phase: The adsorbent substance (e.g., paper) that remains fixed.
- Mobile Phase: The solvent solution that moves through the stationary phase.
- Chromatogram: The resulting colored bands on the paper after separation.
Activities Demonstrating Chromatography
- Create a long strip of filter paper and apply ink to one end.
- Hang the paper in water so the ink-soaked end touches the liquid, allowing capillary action to separate colors.
- As the solvent rises, different ink colors will emerge, revealing components such as blue and yellow from green ink.
