Study Notes
- Molecular nature: Molecular interactions affect boiling point, with stronger interactions leading to higher boiling points.
- Molecular weight: Increases with intermolecular interactions, leading to higher boiling points.
- Melting point: Dependent on pressure, molecular weight, and impurities, with decreased pressure and impurities leading to lower melting points.
- Homogeneous Mixtures:
- Uniform composition.
- Constituent particles evenly distributed.
- Property of homogeneity held throughout.
- Particles not visible to the naked eye.
- Phase of entire mixture identical.
- Mechanical separation not possible.
- Line of separation absent.
- Particles exist at the atomic or molecular level.
- Examples of homogeneous mixtures: sugar-water, alloys, salt solutions, air.
- Heterogeneous Mixtures:
- Non-uniform composition.
- Constituent particles irregularly distributed.
- Visible particles to the naked eye.
- Phase of entire mixture not identical.
- Separation possible through mechanical processes.
- Line of separation present.
- Particles larger in size.
- Examples of heterogeneous mixtures: sand-water, soil, oil-water, sandwiches.
- Compounds:
- Result of chemical combination.
- Proportions of constituent elements well-defined.
- Source does not affect composition.
- Unique properties different from components.
- Composition identical in definite amounts.
- Chemical bonds hold constituents together.
- Examples: sugar, sodium chloride.
- Differences between compounds and mixtures:
- Compounds are pure substances, mixtures are impure.
- Identical composition in compounds, varying composition in mixtures.
- Chemical bonds vs physical forces holding constituents together.
- Different properties from components in compounds, similar in mixtures.
- Simple methods for separation of constituents in mixtures, difficult in compounds.
- Examples of mixtures: water, blood, air.
