Study Notes
Pure Substances and Mixtures
- Milk is categorized as a mixture, not a pure substance.
- Pure substances can’t be broken down into simpler substances; they can be either elements or compounds.
Properties of Compounds
- Water is considered a compound because it can be broken down into hydrogen and oxygen, and it has a fixed composition.
Characteristics of Mixtures
- Mixtures can have varying properties, distinguishing them from compounds that have a fixed composition.
- Heterogeneous mixtures have components that are not uniform throughout, such as a jar of mixed nuts.
Types of Mixtures
- Soy milk is indicated as a suspension because it requires shaking before serving, suggesting it contains undissolved particles.
Viscosity of Liquids
- Corn syrup has the highest viscosity compared to milk, water, and orange juice, meaning it flows more slowly.
Properties of Metals
- Metals are generally malleable and conduct electricity, making them distinct from non-metal materials like wood or ice.
Molding Materials
- Wax is advantageous for making molds due to its low melting point, allowing easy shaping.
Separation Techniques
- Distillation is the method used to separate liquid mixtures that can pass through a filter, effectively isolating different components.
Physical and Chemical Changes
- Cutting wood is a physical change, while changes involving combustion, rust formation, or gas production indicate chemical changes.
Reactivity of Substances
- High reactivity means that a substance can easily combine chemically with others, such as iron reacting with oxygen to form rust.
Evidence of Chemical Changes
- Gas formation, like when vinegar mixes with baking soda, serves as clear evidence of a chemical change occurring.
Composition of Compounds
- Compounds consist of two or more elements or pure substances linked together in a specific, unchanging manner.
Changes in Metals
- A physical change occurs when metals change color due to heating; a chemical change occurs when they react with another substance.
