    Study Notes

    Pure Substances and Mixtures

    • A pure substance consists of only one type of particle and cannot be physically separated.
    • Examples include distilled water and crystalline compounds like copper sulfate.
    • Mixtures are combinations of two or more pure substances and can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous.

    Homogeneous vs. Heterogeneous Mixtures

    • Homogeneous Mixtures: Have a uniform composition, the components are indistinguishable. Examples include sugar dissolved in water and saltwater.
    • Heterogeneous Mixtures: Contain physically distinct parts and have non-uniform compositions. Examples include sand in water and salad.

    Solutions

    • A solution is a specific type of homogeneous mixture where a solute is dissolved in a solvent (e.g., sugar in water).
    • Solutions can be liquids, solids (alloys), or gases (air) and exhibit uniform properties throughout.

    Physical and Chemical Changes

    • Physical Changes: Changes that do not alter the chemical composition, such as melting butter or boiling water.
    • Chemical Changes: Involve a change in chemical composition and properties, resulting in new substances (e.g., rusting of iron, burning of wood).

    Properties of Metals and Non-Metals

    • Metals: Typically shiny, malleable, ductile, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Examples include iron and copper.
    • Non-Metals: Generally dull, brittle, poor conductors. Examples include sulfur, phosphorus, and noble gases like argon.
    • Metalloids: Exhibit properties of both metals and non-metals (e.g., silicon, boron).

    Solubility and Temperature

    • Solubility is the ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature, typically expressed in grams of solute per 100 grams of solvent.
    • Solubility often increases with temperature for many salts; potassium nitrate shows significant increase at higher temperatures.

    Key Concepts

    • Saturated Solution: A solution that cannot dissolve any more solute at a given temperature.
    • Colloids: Mixtures where tiny particles are dispersed in another substance but do not settle out (e.g., milk).
    • Suspensions: Mixtures where particles are suspended in a liquid but can settle out over time (e.g., muddy water).

    Experiments and Observations

    • Light beam experiments can demonstrate the transparency of solutions.
    • Comparing the color intensity of solutions reveals variability even among homogeneous mixtures.
    • Observations can lead to distinguishing between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures through physical properties.
