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.
