Study Notes
Pure Elements
- Pure elements consist of only one type of atom
- Example: Pure gold is made of only gold atoms
Gold Purity
- Gold purity is measured in carats
- 24 carat gold: Pure gold (100% purity)
- 18 carat gold: 75% gold, 25% other metals
- 9 carat gold: Lower purity with more alloy metals
Silver Purity
- Silver purity is measured in parts per thousand
- Marked 925: 92.5% pure silver
- Marked 900: 90% pure silver
- Higher the number, greater the purity
Diamonds and Their Purity
- Pure diamonds are made entirely of carbon atoms and are colorless
- Colored diamonds form when other elements mix with carbon
- Yellow: Nitrogen replaces some carbon atoms
- Blue: Boron replaces some carbon atoms
- Green: Rare, caused by nitrogen, nickel, or hydrogen impurities
Structure and Purity of Diamonds
- Diamonds are made from carbon atoms arranged in a specific structure
- Pure diamonds contain only carbon atoms and are colorless and translucent
Seawater: Composition and Properties
- Seawater is a mixture of water and dissolved salts
- Water makes up 96.5% of seawater
- Salts make up 3.5%, primarily sodium chloride
- Seawater can be processed to extract salt by evaporation
Salt Composition in Seawater
- The salt content in seawater consists of:
- Sodium chloride: 68%
- Magnesium chloride: 14.6%
- Sodium sulfate: 11.4%
- Calcium chloride: 3.1%
- Other salts: 2.9%
Extraction and Importance of Seawater
- Importance of Seawater:
- Provides salt for consumption and industry
- Essential for marine ecosystems
- Can be processed for fresh water through desalination
Pure Products in Chemistry
- Pure products in chemistry are substances without impurities
- Example of a single product reaction: Magnesium + Oxygen → Magnesium Oxide
- Example of multiple product reactions: Silver nitrate + Sodium chloride → Sodium nitrate + Silver chloride
Importance and Safety Measures
- Importance:
- Ensures effectiveness in medicine and food products
- Prevents harmful side effects due to impurities
- Safety Measures:
- Always wear safety glasses
- Handle chemicals with care
