    Study Notes

    Key Terms in Chemistry

    • Matter: Anything that has mass and takes up space.
    • Pure Substance: Made of only one kind of particle (e.g., sugar, water).
    • Mixture: Made of more than one kind of particle (e.g., air, salad).
    • Mechanical Mixture: A mixture where you can see the different parts (e.g., sand and water).
    • Solution: A mixture where the different parts are not visible (e.g., sugar dissolved in water).
    • Solute: The substance that dissolves in a solution.
    • Solvent: The substance that dissolves the solute in a solution.
    • Particle: A very small piece of matter that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
    • Particle Theory of Matter: The ideas that scientists use to explain how matter behaves.
    • Kinetic Energy: Energy that particles have because they are moving.

    Particle Theory of Matter

    • All matter is made up of tiny particles.
    • In a single substance, all the particles are identical.
    • Particles are always moving.
    • The speed of particles moving is affected by temperature.
    • There are spaces between particles.
    • Particles have forces of attraction between them.

    Changes of State

    • Melting: A solid changing to a liquid.
    • Freezing: A liquid changing to a solid.
    • Evaporation: A liquid changing to a gas.
    • Condensation: A gas changing to a liquid.

    Factors Affecting Solubility (and Dissolving)

    • Stirring: Increases the rate of dissolving by spreading the solute particles throughout the solvent.
    • Particle Size: Smaller particles dissolve faster because more of them come into contact with the solvent particles.
    • Temperature: Higher temperatures increase the speed of the particles, allowing more contact between the solute and solvent and thus increasing the rate of dissolving.

    Separating Mixtures and Solutions

    • Filtration: Separates a solid from a liquid by using a filter.
    • Evaporation: Separates a solid from a liquid by heating the liquid, causing it to evaporate.
    • Chromatography: Separates mixtures of substances based on their differing tendencies to dissolve in a solvent.
    • Sorting: Categorizes particles by size, shape, or color.
    • Magnetism: Separates magnetic materials from non-magnetic materials.
    • Sifting: Separates mixtures of solids by size using a mesh screen.
