Study Notes
Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures
- Elements: Pure substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances. They consist of only one type of atom.
- Compounds: Substances formed when two or more elements chemically bond in fixed proportions. They exhibit different properties from their constituent elements.
-
Mixtures: Combinations of two or more substances where each retains its individual properties. Can be classified as:
- Homogeneous Mixtures: Uniform composition throughout, such as saltwater or air.
- Heterogeneous Mixtures: Non-uniform composition, where individual substances are distinguishable, like a salad or sand and gravel mix.
Separation Techniques
- Filtration: Separates solids from liquids using a porous barrier to trap solid particles.
- Evaporation: Removes a liquid from a solution, leaving behind the solid solute.
- Solvation: Process where solute particles become surrounded by solvent molecules, aiding in the separation and dissolution.
- Distillation: Separates components based on differences in boiling points; effective for purifying liquids.
- Paper Chromatography: Technique for separating mixtures based on different rates of movement across a stationary phase (paper).
- Recrystallization: Purification method involving dissolving a substance in a hot solvent and then allowing it to crystallize as it cools.
States of Matter and Changes of State
-
States of Matter: Three primary states include:
- Solid: Definite shape and volume; particles are closely packed.
- Liquid: Definite volume but takes the shape of its container; particles are less tightly packed.
- Gas: No definite shape or volume; particles are far apart and move freely.
- Density: Defined as mass per unit volume, calculated using the formula density = mass/volume (g/cm³).
- Changes of State: Physical transformations including melting (solid to liquid), freezing (liquid to solid), vaporization (liquid to gas), condensation (gas to liquid), sublimation (solid to gas), and deposition (gas to solid).
Temperature and Kinetic Energy
- Temperature Scales: Celsius (°C) and Kelvin (K) are commonly used; Kelvin is often used in scientific contexts due to its absolute nature.
- Heating and Cooling Curves: Graphical representation of temperature changes as a substance is heated or cooled, displaying plateaus during phase changes.
- Heat Absorption or Release: Energy transfer related to changes in temperature and state; during phase changes such as melting or boiling, energy is absorbed or released without changing temperature.
