Study Notes

Key Concepts in Chemistry

  • Matter: Anything that has mass and occupies space.
  • Pure Substance: Matter made of only one type of particle.
  • Mixture: Matter made of more than one type of particle.
  • Solution: A homogeneous mixture, where the components cannot be distinguished.
  • Mechanical Mixture: A heterogeneous mixture, where the components can be distinguished.
  • Solute: A substance that dissolves in a solvent.
  • Solvent: A substance that dissolves a solute.
  • Dissolving: The process where a solute mixes with a solvent to form a solution.
  • Rate of Dissolving: The speed at which a solute dissolves in a solvent.
  • Solubility: The ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent.
  • Concentration: The amount of solute in a given amount of solvent.
  • Particle Theory: The theory that all matter is made up of tiny particles in constant motion, with space between them.

Changes of State

  • Melting: Solid to liquid.
  • Freezing: Liquid to solid.
  • Evaporation: Liquid to gas.
  • Condensation: Gas to liquid.
  • Factors Affecting Rate of Change: Temperature, stirring, and particle size
  • Attractive Forces: The strengths of attraction between particles: stronger forces mean they stay closer together.

Separating Mixtures

  • Filtration: Separating a solid from a liquid by using a filter.
  • Evaporation: Separating a solid from a liquid by evaporating the liquid.
  • Distillation: Separating liquids with different boiling points by heating and condensation.
  • Chromatography: Separating mixtures of dissolved substances based on their attraction to different materials.
  • Sorting: Separating mixtures by sorting components based on size, shape, color, or other properties.
  • Sifting: Separating materials based on differences in particle size.
  • Magnetism: Separating materials based on magnetic properties.
