Questions and Answers

What are pure substances made up of?

  • Only gases
  • One kind of matter (correct)
  • Two or more kinds of matter
  • Only solids
  • Pure substances can be either:

  • A and B (correct)
  • Mixtures
  • Elements
  • Compounds

    Study Notes

    Pure Substances

    • Composed of only one kind of matter without any mix.
    • Can be categorized as elements or compounds.

    Elements

    • Defined as substances that cannot be chemically broken down into simpler substances.
    • Consist of only one type of atom.
    • Examples include iron (Fe) and silver (Ag).

    Compounds

    • Formed from two or more elements that are chemically combined.
    • Represented by chemical formulas; for example, water (H₂O) consists of hydrogen and oxygen, while sugar (C₁₂H₂₁O₁₁) contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
    • Classified as pure substances.

    Mixtures

    • Combinations of pure substances that do not chemically bond.
    • Three types of mixtures exist, distinguished by visibility of components.

    Types of Mixtures

    • Mechanical Mixtures: Can physically see the different substances within the mixture, examples include soil and chocolate chip cookies.
    • Suspensions: Cloudy mixtures where tiny particles of one substance are held within another liquid. Examples include tomato juice and shaken salad dressing, classified as heterogeneous mixtures.
    • Solutions: Mixtures where the components are not visible and one substance is dissolved into another, resulting in a homogeneous mixture. Examples include tea, sugar in coffee, and vinegar (acetic acid in water).

    Mixture Classifications

    • Mixtures can be heterogeneous, where different parts are visible, or homogeneous, where all parts appear uniform.
    • "Hetero" indicates difference, while "homo" indicates sameness in appearance.
