    Study Notes

    Solutions and Mixtures

    • Mixtures consist of two or more substances that are not chemically combined.
    • When sugar dissolves in water, it forms a solution, demonstrating the process of dissolution.
    • Solutions can be categorized based on their states; for example, gas in liquid is a common type.

    Types of Mixtures

    • A homogeneous mixture has uniform composition, meaning the individual components are indistinguishable.
    • A heterogeneous mixture contains distinct phases or components that are identifiable and do not blend uniformly.
    • Foods like biko, nilupak, and buko salad exemplify heterogeneous mixtures due to their visible and separate components.

    Characteristics of Mixtures

    • The definition of a mixture highlights that it does not create new substances, maintaining the original chemical properties of its components.
    • In solutions like sugar in water, components retain their properties even when physically combined, as evidenced by the sweet taste of the solution.

    Components of Solutions

    • In a solution, the substance that gets dissolved is known as the solute, while the substance doing the dissolving is referred to as the solvent.
    • An example of a solution is a sugar solution, where sugar acts as the solute and water as the solvent.

    Classification of Solutions

    • Gas in gas mixtures, like air, or liquid in liquid mixtures, such as cola or soft drinks, fall under different categories of solutions based on their components’ states.
    • The term ‘solution’ is often used synonymously with homogeneous mixtures due to their indistinguishable nature after mixing.

    Solubility

    • Defined as the ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent at a specific temperature.
    • Influenced by factors like temperature, nature of solute, and solvent quantity.

    Miscibility

    • Describes a substance's ability to mix evenly and completely with another substance.
    • It impacts the solubility of substances.

    Factors Affecting Solubility

    • Higher temperatures speed up the dissolution of solutes.
    • The nature of the solute and the solvent influences dissolving efficiency.
    • Particle size affects solubility; smaller particles dissolve faster.
    • Stirring plays a significant role in the dissolving process.

    Nail Polish and Acetone

    • The effectiveness of nail polish removal with acetone relates to miscibility and the nature of both substances.
    • Factors such as particle size and temperature may also play a role.

    Behavior of Solute in Water

    • When mixed with water, solute particles form a mixture.
    • In a suspension, solute particles may not dissolve fully and can settle out.

    Characteristics of Suspensions

    • Suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures where particles eventually settle out after mixing.
    • Examples include mixtures that do not completely dissolve, leading to sedimentation.

    Mixture Types

    • A suspension is categorized as a heterogeneous mixture.
    • Contrasts with homogenous mixtures where components are evenly distributed.

    Identifying Suspensions

    • Particles that do not dissolve and settle can indicate a suspension.
    • Not all mixtures with undissolved particles are classified as suspensions; complete dissolution defines homogenous mixtures.

    Example of Suspensions

    • Mixtures such as flour in water, and oil in water are classified as suspensions due to undissolved particles.
    • Water and sugar typically do not create a suspension; they form a solution.
