    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.
