Study Notes
Pure Substances
- Defined as matter containing only one type of material chemically bonded together.
- Common examples include gold, iron, water, and oxygen.
Mixtures
- Composed of two or more different types of matter that can be separated by physical means.
- Examples include sea water, Coca-Cola, and wine.
Solutions
- A type of homogeneous mixture where two or more substances are uniformly dispersed.
Solubility
- Refers to a substance’s ability to dissolve in another substance, commonly water.
Insolubility
- Indicates the inability of a substance to dissolve in another substance, such as water.
Mixture Types
- Homogeneous Mixtures: Appear uniform throughout, such as sweet tea, air, and alloys.
- Heterogeneous Mixtures: Components are not evenly mixed, exemplified by chocolate chip cookies, smoothies, and salads.
Separation Techniques
- Filtering: A method to separate solids from liquids using filter paper based on particle size (e.g., sand from water).
- Chromatography: Separates mixtures based on differences in mass, such as separating different ink pigments.
- Distillation: Utilizes differences in boiling points for separation, followed by condensation into liquid (e.g., salt from water).
Homogeneous vs. Heterogeneous
- Hot tea and flat soda are homogeneous, implying uniformity.
- Carbonated soda, carbonated pop, raisin bran, tacos, and fruit salad are classified as heterogeneous due to visible differences in components.
Examples of Substances
- Pure Substances: Lithium (Li), lithium chloride (LiCl), rubbing alcohol, glucose, and distilled water.
- Mixtures: Tap water, coffee, steel, air, soda pop, and salt water.
- Cake batter and Kool-Aid are examples of homogeneous mixtures, while pretzel mix and fruit salad are heterogeneous.
Elements and Compounds
- Elements are pure substances like helium (He) and silver (Ag).
- Compounds include silver chloride and propene, which are formed from combinations of elements.
