Study Notes
The Particle Theory
- All matter is made of tiny, constantly moving particles.
- These particles can be atoms, molecules, or ions.
- Particle arrangement and movement explain matter's properties (e.g., state changes, heat conduction).
- Particle behavior in different states (solid, liquid, gas) varies.
- Solids have tightly packed, vibrating particles.
- Liquids have more loosely packed, sliding particles.
- Gases have widely spread, freely moving particles.
- This theory explains chemical reactions and physical transformations.
States of Matter
- Three main states: solid, liquid, and gas.
- State depends on particle arrangement and motion.
- Solids: Fixed arrangement, low kinetic energy, strong intermolecular forces, definite shape and volume.
- Liquids: Closely packed, but particles can move past each other, moderate kinetic energy, moderate intermolecular forces, definite volume, takes container shape.
- Gases: Particles far apart, high kinetic energy, weak intermolecular forces, no definite shape or volume, fills container.
Pure Substances and Mixtures
- Pure Substances: Single type of particle (atom or molecule), fixed composition, cannot physically separate. Examples: iron, water.
- Mixtures: Two or more pure substances not chemically combined, can be physically separated. Examples: salt water, air.
Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Mixtures
- Homogeneous Mixtures (Solutions): Uniform composition, components evenly distributed, cannot visually distinguish. Examples: saltwater, air.
- Heterogeneous Mixtures (Mechanical Mixtures): Non-uniform composition, distinct phases or components, components visually distinguishable. Examples: sand in water, oil and water.
Solutes, Solvents, and Concentration
- Solution: Solute (dissolved substance) + Solvent (dissolver).
- Concentration: Amount of solute in a given amount of solution. Measured by molarity, molality, or mole fraction.
- Molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution
- Molality = moles of solute / kilograms of solvent
- Mole Fraction = moles of solute / total moles of solution
Saturated Solutions and Solubility
- Saturated Solution: Contains maximum possible solute at a given temperature.
- Solubility: Maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a specific temperature.
Separating Mechanical Mixtures
- Physical separation techniques: filtration, distillation, chromatography, centrifugation.
Mixtures in Industry
- Various industries rely on mixtures (alloys, gasoline, paints, pharmaceuticals, fertilizers).
- Understanding mixtures' properties is crucial.
