Study Notes
Mixtures and Compounds
- A mixture is not a chemical combining of substances; components retain their individual identities.
- In compounds, atoms are chemically combined, causing them to lose their original identities and acquire new properties.
- The smallest unit of a compound is a molecule, which consists of chemically bonded atoms.
Elements and Mixtures
- A mixture can include substances other than just elements; it is false that a mixture is always made up of elements.
- Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances.
- The smallest identifiable unit of an element is an atom.
Identification of Elements
- Elements from a specified list include: silver, oxygen, hydrogen, gold, sulfur, carbon, magnesium, chromium, nitrogen, nickel. Other substances on the list are compounds or mixtures.
Separation Techniques
- Sugar can be separated from water by dissolving it, stirring, and then allowing the water to evaporate.
- Alcohol can be separated from water by heating, as it vaporizes before water at 78°C.
- Sand can be separated from water through filtration.
Classification of Substances
- Air is classified as a mixture, while water, mercury, oxygen, sugar, and grain alcohol are considered pure substances.
- Gasoline and salt water are deemed mixtures.
Heterogeneous and Homogeneous Mixtures
- A sand and salt mixture is classified as heterogeneous, while salt water is homogeneous.
- Pure water is homogeneous, as are nitric acid and freshly brewed black coffee.
- Tossed salad, an apple, granite, and dirt are classified as heterogeneous mixtures.
- Iron is homogeneous, but iron with rust is heterogeneous.
General Properties
- Sugar, salt, and pure water are homogeneous substances.
- Heterogeneous mixtures vary in composition and appearance, exemplified by items like Lucky Charms, sausage-and-mushroom pizza, and wood.
