Study Notes
Phases of Matter
- Solids exhibit closely packed particles, either in an ordered (crystalline) or disordered (amorphous) arrangement.
- Liquids have particles less tightly packed than solids, allowing them to flow.
- Gases/vapors have particles far apart and move freely.
Solutions
- Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of a solute (dissolved substance) and solvent (dissolving medium). Examples include sugar in water, saltwater, and alcoholic beverages.
Colloidal Systems
- Colloids are heterogeneous mixtures with a dispersed phase (small particles) and a dispersion medium.
- Particle size in colloids falls between 1 and 1000 nanometers. Examples include emulsions, gels, and aerosols.
Suspensions
- Suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures where solid particles are dispersed in a liquid but settle over time. An example is muddy water.
Precipitation
- Precipitation occurs when a solute is too dense to remain suspended in a solvent; it settles out, forming a solid precipitate.
Separation Techniques
- Sieving: Separating solids by size.
- Winnowing: Separating solids by weight/density.
- Magnetic separation: Separating materials using magnetic properties.
- Decantation: Separating liquids from solids based on density differences.
- Filtration: Separating based on solubility and particle size.
- Evaporation: Removing a solvent to recover a solute.
- Distillation: Separating liquids with different boiling points.
Pure Substances vs. Mixtures
- Pure Substances: Consist of a single type of particle and have consistent properties throughout.
- Mixtures: Two or more substances mixed together, retaining individual properties; either homogeneous or heterogeneous.
Homogeneous Mixtures
- Uniform composition throughout.
- Individual components cannot be easily distinguished.
- Examples: Air, saltwater, alloys (e.g., brass).
Heterogeneous Mixtures
- Non-uniform composition; components can be visually distinguished.
- Examples: Salad, sand and gravel, oil and water.
Summary of Differences
| Feature | Homogeneous Mixture | Heterogeneous Mixture |
|---|---|---|
| Composition | Uniform | Non-uniform |
| Visibility | Components unseen | Components visible |
| Separation | Difficult | Easier |
