    Study Notes

    Mixtures

    • Mixtures are combinations of two or more substances where each substance retains its own chemical identity and properties.
    • Mixtures are physically combined, not chemically bonded.
    • Mixtures can be separated by physical means.

    Types of Mixtures

    • Homogeneous Mixtures: Components are uniformly distributed and consistent throughout.

      • Uniform appearance.
      • Single phase (solid, liquid, or gas).
      • Examples: Air, saltwater, solutions (sugar dissolved in water), alloys (brass).

    • Heterogeneous Mixtures: Components are not uniformly distributed.

      • Non-uniform appearance.
      • Multiple phases.
      • Examples: Salad, suspensions (muddy water), colloids (milk, fog).

    Solutions

    • A specific type of homogeneous mixture.
    • One substance (solute) is dissolved in another (solvent).
    • Solutions have a uniform composition and properties throughout.
    • Examples: Sugar dissolved in water.

    Chemical Properties

    • Describe how a substance interacts with other substances and its potential to undergo chemical changes.
    • Intrinsic to the substance and can only be observed during a chemical reaction.
    • Examples: Flammability, reactivity, acidity or basicity, oxidation state.

    Chemical Changes

    • Processes where substances undergo transformations to form new substances with different chemical properties.
    • Involve the breaking and forming of chemical bonds.
    • Examples: Combustion, oxidation, acid-base reactions, decomposition.

    Characteristics of Solutions

    • Solutions have a uniform composition, meaning the solute is evenly distributed throughout the solvent.
    • They exist in a single phase, which can be solid, liquid, or gas.
    • Solute particles are not visible to the naked eye as they are dispersed at the molecular or ionic level.

    Components of Solutions

    • The solute is the substance dissolved, typically present in a smaller amount than the solvent.
    • The solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute, typically present in a larger amount.

    Types of Solutions

    • Solid Solutions: A homogeneous mixture with the solute dissolved in a solid solvent.
      • Examples: Alloys like bronze (copper and tin) and steel (iron and carbon).
    • Liquid Solutions: A homogeneous mixture with the solute dissolved in a liquid solvent.
      • Examples: Saltwater (salt dissolved in water) and sugar water.
    • Gas Solutions: A homogeneous mixture with gases dissolved in other gases.
      • Examples: Air, which is a mixture of gases, and carbonated beverages (carbon dioxide dissolved in liquid).

    Properties of Solutions

    • Concentration: The amount of solute in a given amount of solvent or solution.
      • Can be expressed as molarity, molality, or percentage.
      • Molarity (M): Moles of solute per liter of solution.
      • Molality (m): Moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
      • Percentage Concentration: The mass or volume percentage of solute in the solution.
    • Solubility: The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature and pressure.
      • Influenced by temperature, pressure, and the nature of the solute and solvent.
      • Solubility generally increases with temperature for solid solutes but decreases for gases.
      • Solubility of gases increases with pressure (Henry's Law).
    • Saturation: A solution is saturated when it contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a specific temperature and pressure.
      • Saturated Solution: Contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve.
      • Unsaturated Solution: Contains less solute than the maximum amount that can dissolve.
      • Supersaturated Solution: Contains more solute than the maximum amount that can dissolve, achieved by changing conditions like temperature.

    Other Types of Mixtures

    • Suspensions: Heterogeneous mixtures where solid particles are dispersed in a liquid, but settle out over time.

      • Particles are relatively large and visible.
      • Examples: Muddy water, orange juice with pulp.

    • Colloids: Heterogeneous mixtures where particles are dispersed throughout another substance, but are small enough that they do not settle out.

      • Particles are intermediate in size, between solutions and suspensions.
      • Examples: Milk, fog, and gelatin.
