    Study Notes

    Types of Substances

    • An element is a substance that cannot be decomposed into a simpler substance by heat and/or electricity.
    • A compound is a substance that contains two or more elements in a fixed, unchanging ratio.

    Separation of Mixtures

    • Distillation is the process that separates a mixture into its components based on differences in boiling points.

    Mixtures and Solutions

    • A solution is a homogeneous mixture of a solute and a solvent.

    Properties of Matter

    • Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass.

    Purification of Substances

    • A substance that keeps its chemical identity and can be separated by physical means is called a pure substance.
    • When a solid starts to melt, its temperature remains constant.
    • Impurities in a substance lower its melting point, resulting in a range of melting points rather than a single point.
    • A substance is not pure if its melting point range is wide, indicating the presence of impurities.
    • A heating or cooling curve can be used to identify a boiling point.
    • Impurities in a substance affect its melting point, making it difficult to determine its true melting point.

    Solubility

    • A solubility curve plots the relationship between temperature and the amount of solute that dissolves in a solvent.
    • A saturated solution is one that contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature.
    • When a saturated solution of KClO3 at 70°C is cooled to 30°C, it becomes supersaturated, meaning it contains more solute than it can hold at the lower temperature.
    • Compounds are classified as a type of matter.
    • Elements are substances that consist of only one type of atom.
    • Mixtures are characterized by having variable compositions and properties.
