Study Notes
Types of Mixtures
- Solid solutions (alloys): mixtures of two or more metals or a metal and a non-metal, cannot be separated into their components by physical methods, e.g., brass (30% zinc, 70% copper)
- Gaseous solutions (air): homogeneous mixtures, e.g., carbon dioxide (gas) in water (liquid)
- Liquid solutions: e.g., sugar in water, iodine in alcohol
Characteristics of Solutions
- Homogeneous: particles evenly distributed throughout
- Solvent: component present in larger amount, dissolves the other component
- Solute: component present in lesser amount, gets dissolved in the solvent
- Examples: sugar in water, iodine in alcohol, carbon dioxide in water
Suspensions
- Non-homogeneous systems, e.g., group C's mixture
- Solids dispersed in liquids, particles do not dissolve
- Particles are visible to the naked eye
- Properties: heterogeneous mixture, particles can be seen, Tyndall effect can be observed
Colloids
- Big enough to scatter a beam of light, making its path visible
- Do not settle down when left undisturbed, stable
- Cannot be separated from the mixture by filtration
- Require centrifugation for separation
Elements
- Basic form of matter that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions
- Definition by Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (1743–94)
- Examples: metals, non-metals, and metalloids
- Properties of metals: lustre, silvery-grey or golden-yellow colour, conduct heat and electricity, ductile, malleable, sonorous
Chemical Changes
- Burning is a chemical change
- Chemical change brings change in chemical properties of matter, resulting in new substances
- Distinguishable from physical changes
Separation Techniques
- Various techniques for separating mixtures, e.g., filtration, centrifugation, sedimentation
