Study Notes
Mixtures
- Mixtures are combinations of two or more substances in any ratio.
- Constituents in a mixture retain their individual properties.
- Mixture constituents do not change when mixed together.
- Mixtures can be separated using various methods.
Homogeneous Mixtures
- Constituents are evenly spread throughout the mixture.
- All parts of a homogeneous mixture have the same properties.
- Examples include sugar in water, air.
Heterogeneous Mixtures
- Constituents are not evenly spread.
- Different parts of the mixture have different properties.
- Examples include iron filings and sand, chalk in water, and dusty air.
Separation of Mixtures
- Separation is needed to remove unwanted components or extract useful ones.
- Examples:
- Removing undesirable constituents from food (e.g., stones from rice, leaves from tea)
- Removing harmful substances from water (e.g., using water filters).
- Obtaining useful constituents (e.g., butter from milk, petroleum products from crude oil).
Identifying Mixtures/Compounds
- Comparing boiling points or melting points can reveal whether a substance is a pure compound or a mixture.
- Pure substances have fixed melting and boiling points.
- Mixtures of substances have variable melting and boiling points depending on their composition.
