    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., H₂O for water).
    • Common compounds include:
      • Water (H₂O)
      • Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)
      • Sulphur Dioxide (SO₂)

    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.
