    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.
