Study Notes

Types of Mixtures

  • Homogeneous Mixtures: Have uniform composition and are present in one phase. Examples include saltwater and coffee.
  • Heterogeneous Mixtures: Composed of distinguishable components, presenting two or more phases. Examples include oatmeal with fruits and nuts.

Matter and Its Properties

  • Physical Properties: Observable or measurable without altering the substance. Examples include color, hardness, and boiling point.
  • Chemical Properties: Characteristics observable during a chemical change. Examples include reactivity and flammability.

Extensive vs. Intensive Properties

  • Extensive Properties: Depend on the amount of matter, such as length, mass, and volume.
  • Intensive Properties: Do not depend on the amount; examples include density and melting point.

Physical and Chemical Changes

  • Physical Change: Involves a change in physical properties without creating new substances.
  • Chemical Change: Involves the formation of new substances through reactions.

Indicators of Chemical Change

  • Evolution of Gas: Production of gas bubbles during a reaction.
  • Evolution of Heat: Release or absorption of energy, can be exothermic or endothermic.
  • Change in Color: Example includes ripening fruit.
  • Odor Production: Example includes spoiling milk.
  • Formation of a Precipitate: Creation of insoluble solids signifies new substance formation.

Classification of Matter

  • States of Matter: Three predominant forms: solids, liquids, and gases.
  • Elements: Simplest form of matter, consists of one type of atom, with 118 known elements, 92 of which occur naturally.
  • Compounds: Composed of two or more chemically bonded elements (e.g., salts, acids, bases, organic compounds).
  • Mixtures: Combinations of two or more substances that vary in composition, classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous.

Types of Mixtures

  • Homogeneous Mixtures (Solutions): Identified by uniform properties (e.g., sugar solution, alloys).
  • Heterogeneous Mixtures: Have distinguishable components and can exhibit the Tyndall effect (e.g., colloids and suspensions).

Examples of Colloids and Suspensions

  • Colloids: Mixtures like milk (sols), mayonnaise (emulsions), and aerated detergent (foams).
  • Suspensions: Mixtures where particles eventually settle, such as silt in water.

Key Concepts Summary

  • Homogeneous mixtures are indistinguishable and uniform; heterogeneous mixtures are distinct and non-uniform.
