    What is distillation?

    Distillation is a method to separate a mixture of liquids with different boiling points. The liquid with the lower boiling point evaporates first, and then condenses back into a separate container.

    Study Notes

    States of Matter

    • Matter exists in three primary states: solid, liquid, and gas.
    • The arrangement of particles determines the state and properties of matter.

    Solids

    • Particles are closely packed in a regular arrangement.
    • Particles vibrate but maintain a fixed position.
    • Solids have a fixed volume and shape.
    • Solids are generally not able to flow.
    • Solids have high density.
    • Particles have low energy; they only vibrate around a fixed point.
    • Examples include wood, metal, stone, plastic.

    Liquids

    • Particles are closely packed but not in a regular arrangement.
    • Particles can move past each other.
    • Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container.
    • Liquids are able to flow.
    • Liquids have moderate density.
    • Particles have moderate energy; they can move and flow but slowly.
    • Examples include water, milk, bleach, acid.

    Gases

    • Particles are widely spaced and have no regular arrangement.
    • Particles move randomly and rapidly.
    • Gases have a variable volume and shape; they take the shape and fill the container they are in.
    • Gases are able to flow.
    • Gases have low density.
    • Particles have high energy; they move rapidly and freely.
    • Examples include air, oxygen, carbon dioxide.

    Changes of State

    • Particles gain energy when heated.
    • Melting occurs when a solid changes to a liquid at its melting point.
    • Boiling occurs when a liquid changes to a gas at its boiling point.
    • Sublimation is when a solid changes directly to a gas.
    • The arrangement of particles changes during each state change.

    Melting and Boiling Points

    • Each substance has a specific melting and boiling point.
    • The purity of a substance can be checked using melting and boiling points.
    • Impurities in a substance cause its melting and boiling points to span a range of temperatures.

    Gas Pressure

    • Gas pressure is the force exerted by gas particles on the container walls.
    • Pressure increases with the number of particles or the temperature.
    • High pressure can be caused by a high number of particles in a small space or by a high temperature.

    Dissolving

    • Dissolving is the process of mixing a solute into a solvent until it is evenly mixed.
    • The rate of dissolving is affected by temperature, surface area and stirring.
    • Solutes dissolve faster with increased temperature, greater surface area and stirring.
    • A solution is a liquid mixture containing a dissolved solute.

    Diffusion

    • Particles move from high concentration areas to low concentration areas.
    • Diffusion occurs in liquids and gases.
    • Diffusion is faster at higher temperatures.

    Filtration

    • Separating an insoluble solid from a liquid.
    • Insoluble solid is filtered out; the liquid passes through.

    Distillation

    • Separating a soluble solid from a solvent.
    • The solvent is heated, evaporates, then condensed and collected.

    Evaporation

    • Separating a soluble solid from a solvent by evaporating the solvent.
    • Solid remains once solvent is evaporated.

    Separating Rock Salt

    • Separating sand and salt from a mixture using appropriate techniques like filtration or evaporation.
    • Sand is insoluble, salt is soluble.

    Compounds and Mixtures

    • Compounds are formed when elements chemically bond.
    • Mixtures contain physically combined substances.
