Study Notes
Mixtures
- A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture where some substances do not completely dissolve in the solvent.
- Suspensions will settle upon standing and light cannot pass through them.
- Examples of suspensions include muddy water, certain salad dressings, and flour in water.
Types of Mixtures
- Homogeneous mixtures: Components are uniformly mixed and appear the same throughout.
- Heterogeneous mixtures: Components are not uniformly mixed, and different parts of the mixture look different.
- Solutions: Homogeneous mixtures that are usually clear, do not settle, and allow light to pass through.
- Colloids: Homogeneous mixtures that are usually cloudy, do not settle, and partially allow light to pass through.
- Suspensions: Heterogeneous mixtures that settle upon standing and block light.
Solutions, Colloids, and Suspensions
- Solutions: A solute dissolves in a solvent, resulting in a homogeneous mixture.
- Examples of solutions include saltwater, sugar water, coffee, and air.
- Colloids: Homogeneous mixtures where particles are dispersed but do not settle.
- Examples of colloids include milk, paint, and smoke.
- Suspensions: Heterogeneous mixtures where particles settle over time.
Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Mixtures
- Homogeneous mixtures: Components are completely mixed and uniform throughout. Examples include brewed coffee, body cream, milk, air, vinegar, saltwater, and steel.
- Heterogeneous mixtures: Components are not uniform and can be identified. Examples include fruit salads, pizzas, chocolate chip cookies, oil and water mixtures, and sausage buns.
Let's Know More!
- Alloys: Mixtures where a metal is the main component. Example: Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon.
Mixtures of Different Forms
- Mixtures can exist in solid, liquid, or gas forms.
- Examples: Mixed nuts (solid), mixed fruit juices (liquid), air (gas).
Suspensions
- A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture where some substances do not dissolve completely in the solvent.
- The mixture will settle upon standing.
- Light cannot pass through suspensions.
- Examples include muddy water, some types of salad dressing, and flour in water.
Types of Mixtures
- Mixtures can be categorized as homogeneous, heterogeneous, solutions, colloids, and suspensions.
Solutions, Colloids, and Suspensions
- A solution is a homogeneous mixture that is typically clear and does not settle.
- The substance that dissolves is called the solute, and the substance it dissolves in is called the solvent.
- Examples of solutions include coffee, orange juice, vinegar, salt water, sugar water, tea, air, and alcohol.
- A colloid is also a homogeneous mixture that does not settle but is usually cloudy. It allows a partial beam of light to pass through it.
- Examples of colloids include smoke, paints, ketchup, milk, starch solution, ointments, and creams.
Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Mixtures
- Homogeneous mixtures have components that are completely mixed and uniform throughout. We cannot distinguish the individual components.
- Examples of homogeneous mixtures include brewed coffee, body cream or lotion, milk, air, vinegar, salt water, and steel.
- In heterogeneous mixtures, the components are not uniform and can be identified.
- Examples of heterogeneous mixtures are fruit salads, pizzas, chocolate chip cookies, mixtures of oil and water, and sausage buns.
Alloys
- An alloy is a mixture where a metal is the primary component.
- Steel is an example of an alloy, a mixture of iron and carbon.
Mixtures of Different Forms
- Mixtures can exist in solid, liquid, or gaseous forms.
- Examples include mixed nuts (solids), mixed fruit juices (liquids), and air (gases).
