Study Notes

Key Concepts in Mixtures and Compounds

  • A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that retain their individual properties; examples include sand and salt, salad, and air.
  • The properties of a mixture are a blend of the properties of its components.
  • Components of a mixture can be separated by physical means, like filtration or distillation.
  • The composition of a mixture is variable and can change based on the amounts of each component.
  • A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements chemically combine in a fixed ratio; water (H2O), sodium chloride (NaCl), and carbon dioxide (CO2) are examples.
  • The properties of a compound differ from those of its constituent elements.
  • Compounds can only be separated by chemical means, such as electrolysis.
  • A compound has a fixed composition, defined by a specific chemical formula.

Energy Changes During Chemical Reactions

  • Neutralization of acids and alkalis to give salt and water releases energy (exothermic).
  • This reaction typically releases energy as heat when an acid reacts with a base to form salt and water.
  • Magnesium reacting with hydrochloric acid releases energy (exothermic).
  • The reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid produces magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas while releasing heat.
  • Electrolysis of water to give hydrogen and oxygen takes energy (endothermic).
  • Electrolysis requires an input of energy (usually electrical) to break water (H2O) into hydrogen and oxygen gases
  • Burning petroleum in a car engine to give carbon dioxide and water releases energy (exothermic).
  • The combustion of petroleum releases energy in the form of heat and light as it reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
  • Photosynthesis in plants takes energy (endothermic).
  • In photosynthesis, plants absorb sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
  • Decomposition of baking soda to produce carbon dioxide takes energy (endothermic).
  • When baking soda decomposes, it requires heat to produce carbon dioxide gas.

Additional Notes

  • Hydrogen has a boiling point of -252.9 °C, and -183 °C for its gas phase, while water boils at 100 °C.
  • Hydrogen is flammable, while oxygen supports combustion, demonstrating the differences in elemental behavior vs. their compound, water.
  • Pure substances have specific melting and boiling points, while impurities can lower boiling points or melt over a range of temperatures.
  • Copper can be separated from copper(II) oxide by reduction with carbon.
  • Aluminum oxide can be decomposed into aluminum and oxygen.
