Study Notes
Pure Substances
- Defined as substances made up of only one type of particle, either atoms or molecules.
- Examples include water, sulfur, hydrogen, and carbon.
- Possess fixed composition, melting point, and boiling point.
Impure Substances
- Composed of two or more different kinds of particles.
- Separable by physical methods; includes all mixtures.
- Examples: salt solution, milk, air, and soft drinks.
- Do not have fixed composition or consistent melting/boiling points.
Mixtures
- Mixtures consist of multiple elements or compounds mixed without forming new compounds.
- Properties resemble the constituents, highlighting variability in composition.
- Can be classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous.
Homogeneous Mixtures
- Features a single phase with uniform composition throughout.
- No visible separation between components.
- Examples: sugar solution, vinegar, alloy mixtures.
Heterogeneous Mixtures
- Composed of multiple phases; visible separation between components.
- Inconsistent composition throughout.
- Examples: sand and sugar mixture, water with chalk, smoke in air.
Solutions
- A type of homogeneous mixture where a solvent dissolves a solute.
- Characteristics: particles are tiny and not visible, light path is not visible, cannot be separated by filtration.
Suspension
- A heterogeneous mixture of solids and liquids.
- Solid particles are suspended and can be seen with the naked eye; they settle over time.
- Can be separated by filtration; example: sand in water.
Colloids
- A heterogeneous mixture with particle sizes intermediate between solutions and suspensions (1 nm to 100 nm).
- Appears homogeneous but contains two distinct phases: dispersed phase and dispersion medium.
- Examples: milk, toothpaste, and ink.
- Characteristics include charge on particles and zigzag movement (Brownian motion).
Tyndall Effect
- Phenomenon where light is scattered by suspended particles, visible in colloidal solutions.
Separation Techniques
- Evaporation: Extracts solute (e.g., salt) from a solution by converting liquid to gas.
- Filtration: Differentiates solids from liquids through a filter.
- Centrifugation: Uses spinning to separate denser particles from lighter ones.
- Separating Funnel: Distinguishes immiscible liquids based on density differences.
- Sublimation: Converts solids directly to gas, separating volatile components from non-volatile impurities.
- Chromatography: Separates substances based on solubility in a solvent.
- Distillation: Separates liquids based on boiling point differences; useful for water purification.
- Fractional Distillation: Separates components with boiling point differences under 25K.
- Crystallization: Forms large crystals from solutions, aids in purifying substances.
Classification of Pure Substances
- Elements: Basic forms of matter that cannot be simplified by chemical reactions. Includes metals, non-metals, metalloids, and noble gases.
- Compounds: Formed through chemical combinations of two or more elements in fixed proportions.
Chemical Changes
- Involve alterations in the chemical composition of substances.
- Result in new substances that are not easily reversible.
- Associated with energy changes during the transformation.
Chemical Formula
- A symbolic representation that conveys the composition of a chemical compound.
