Study Notes
Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Mixtures
- Homogeneous mixtures have substances evenly distributed, resulting in a uniform appearance.
- Examples include vinegar, soy sauce, and orange juice.
- Heterogeneous mixtures consist of unevenly distributed substances, lacking uniform composition.
- Components in heterogeneous mixtures are visible, such as in vegetable salad, cereal with milk, pizza, and mixtures like sand, water, and oil.
Types of Mixtures
- Daily life mixtures are categorized into solutions, suspensions, and colloids.
Solutions
- Solutions are homogeneous mixtures where one substance dissolves in another, typically a liquid.
- Salt solution serves as an example, with salt as the solute and water as the solvent.
- Sweet-and-sour sauce contains sugar and salt as solutes, and vinegar and water as solvents.
Solubility
- Solubility measures the maximum amount of solute that dissolves in a given solvent at a specific temperature.
- Soluble substances, like sugar and salt, dissolve easily, while insoluble substances do not, such as rice, corn, and pebbles.
- Factors affecting solubility include stirring, temperature, solute size, and the properties of solute and solvent.
Types of Solutions
- Solutions can be diluted, concentrated, or saturated based on solute quantity:
- Diluted solutions have a small amount of solute (e.g., powdered juice in water).
- Concentrated solutions contain a large amount of solute (e.g., three tablespoons of powdered juice in water).
- Saturated solutions occur when no more solute can dissolve, causing solid particles to settle.
Solutions by Phase
- Solutions can be liquid, gaseous, or solid.
Liquid Solutions
- Formed by dissolving solids, liquids, or gases in liquid solvents.
- Examples include syrup (sugar in water) and brine (table salt in water).
- Miscible liquids blend well, while immiscible liquids, like oil and water, do not mix.
Gaseous Solutions
- Carbonated water is a solution with dissolved carbon dioxide.
- Air represents a mixture including various gases like oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide.
Solid Solutions
- Examples include steel (carbon and iron) and brass (zinc and copper).
Uses of Solutions
- Salt and sugar solutions enhance food flavor.
- Liquid soaps dissolve grease and stains.
- Beverages like tea, coffee, and soft drinks are solutions.
- Medicines are often in solution form for easy internal use.
- Digestion transforms food into soluble forms for transport in the bloodstream.
- Industrial processes use solutions for manufacturing.
- Minerals in soil are absorbed by plants in solution.
