The observations usually consist of some type of numerical measurement. There are many physical properties, such as: - State at room temperature - Melting and boiling points - Colour - Density - Electrical conductivity - Thermal conductivity - Malleability - Magnetism Mixtures can be separated into its components by physical means. For instance, we may separate a mixture of iron and sand using a magnet as iron is attracted to the magnet, whereas sand is not. **\ ** **Practical: separate iron from sucrose** --------------------------------------------------------------------------- **SEPARATE** iron filings and sucrose from a mixture of iron and sucrose. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The physical property that we are going to use to separate them is magnetism. **Aim:** to separate iron and sucrose using physical properties. **Equipment** - magnet - glad wrap - mixture of iron and sucrose in a beaker - spare beaker **Method** 1. Wrap the magnet carefully in glad wrap so that none of the magnet is uncovered. 2. Place the wrapped magnet into the beaker of iron and sucrose. 3. Move the magnet around so that it picks up as much of the iron as possible. 4. Using your fingers, take off as much iron as possible and put it into the spare beaker. 5. Unwrap the magnet keeping all of the iron filings in the glad wrap. Transfer the glad wrap across to the spare beaker and tip all of the iron filings into the spare beaker. **Conclusion** Write a conclusion that explains how you used physical properties to separate iron and sucrose. -- -- -- -- **Questions** 1. How could we have used the physical property of solubility in water to separate iron and sucrose? -- -- -- -- 2. Why did we wrap the magnet in glad wrap? -- -- -- -- **Solutions** ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- **DESCRIBE** aqueous mixtures using the words solute, solvent and solution. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ![](media/image8.png) As we have already established, it is very difficult to obtain pure substances. It is also difficult to obtain samples of pure water, since many substances can easily get into water. For example, when sugar is added to a glass of water, the sugar crystals disappear or **dissolve** in the water. When a solid dissolves in a liquid a **solution** forms. Solutions represent an important type of mixture and can be found in a vast number of situations. Solutions have some common characteristics. The solid which dissolves is called a **solute**. The liquid in which it dissolves is called the **solvent**. Therefore, a solution is the mixture produced when a solute dissolves in a solvent. In the sugar solution described above, sugar is the solute and water is the solvent. Solutions are special because they are mixtures which have the same properties throughout. Solutions always look the same throughout, they may be coloured but are always clear, i.e. they are transparent, and therefore you can see through them. Other special characteristics of a solution are that: - the solute particles spread evenly throughout the solvent. - it is not easy to separate the solute from the solvent. A substance which dissolves easily is said to be **soluble**, e.g. salt or sugar in water. However, if you try to dissolve sand in water the sand will not dissolve. The sand is said to be **insoluble**. Water is an excellent solvent and is often referred to as the **universal** **solvent** because many substances readily dissolve in it. However other solvents must sometimes be used to dissolve particular substances. ------------------------ -------------------- **Solute** **Solvent** oil paint turpentine nail polish acetone biro stains on clothes methylated spirits ------------------------ -------------------- **\ ** **The importance of water as a solvent** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **DESCRIBE the importance of water as a solvent in daily life, industries and the environment.** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Water is called the \"universal solvent\" because it is capable of dissolving many substances. It means that wherever water goes, either through the air, the ground, or through our bodies, it takes along valuable chemicals, minerals, and nutrients. However, this name isn\'t entirely accurate, since there are some substances (such as oils) that don\'t dissolve well in water. **Daily life:** Water's role as a solvent helps cells transport and use substances like oxygen or nutrients. Water based solutions like blood help carry molecules to the necessary locations. Thus, water's role as a solvent facilitates the transport of molecules like oxygen for respiration and has a major impact on the ability of drugs to reach their targets in the body. **Industries:** We can point towards many industries that use water as a solvent to make products such as foods, medicines, fertilisers, paints, pesticides, paper, and adhesives. It is even used as a solvent in mining with metals being processed with water as an essential part of the process. **Environment:** Water acts as an important solvent in our oceans. An important property of seawater in terms of its effect on life in the oceans is the concentration of dissolved nutrients. **Nitrogen and phosphorus** support **the** growth of algae and aquatic plants, which provide food and habitat for fish, shellfish and smaller organisms that live in water. Another critical element for the health of the oceans is the** **dissolved oxygen content. Oxygen in the surface ocean is continuously added across the air-sea interface as well as by photosynthesis; it is used up in respiration by marine organisms and during the decay or oxidation of organic material that rains down in the ocean and is deposited on the ocean bottom. **\ ** **Concentration** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **UNDERSTAND the terms dilute, concentrated and saturated solutions.** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Solutions can contain varying amounts of dissolved material. The amount of dissolved material in a stated volume of the solution is known as the concentration of the solution. We can change the concentration of a mixture by changing the amounts of solute or solvent present. In order to compare the resulting mixtures we use two new terms: **dilute** and **concentrated**. A dilute solution is produced when only a small amount of the solute is dissolved in the solvent. A concentrated solution has a large amount of solute dissolved in the solvent. In the same volume of solution, a concentrated solution has more dissolved solute than a dilute solution. Particle model of dilute and concentrated solutions The concentration of a solution is often given as a percentage. For example a 3% sodium chloride solution is a dilute solution, while a 40 % sodium chloride solution is a concentrated solution. To make a 3% solution you need 3 parts of solute in 100 parts. This means that if you wanted to make a 3% solution of sodium chloride you would place 3 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL of water. Colour is another indicator of the degree of concentration of a solution. A concentrated solution of copper sulfate would be a dark blue colour whereas a dilute copper sulfate solution would be light blue in colour. #### **Saturation** There is a limit to how much solute will dissolve in a solvent. For example, if you keep adding salt to water eventually a point will be reached where no more salt will dissolve in the water. When a solution reaches this stage it is said to be **saturated** (it is full up with solute). At any point along the way to this stage a solution is said to be **unsaturated** and more solute can be dissolved. If you continue to add more solute once the solution has reached its saturation point, the solute will sink to the bottom of the container and remain undissolved. The amount of solute which dissolves is also dependent on the temperature of the solvent. The general rule is: *the higher the temperature of the solvent the more solute that dissolves*, i.e. solubility increases with temperature. For example, in 500 mL of water: 175g of salt will dissolve at 10 °C 190g of salt will dissolve at 90 °C **\ ** **Physical and chemical changes** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **RECALL chemical changes and COMPARE physical and chemical changes** in terms of the arrangement of particles and reversibility of the process. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A substance can be changed by heating it, mixing it with another substance, adding water to it, and so on. The change that takes place will either be a physical or a chemical change. #### #### **Physical Change** When no new chemical substance is formed, the change is called a **physical** **change**. Physical changes are usually easy to reverse. ![Picture](media/image12.jpeg)Related image #### #### **Chemical Change** When a chemical change occurs, at least one new substance is created. It is this that we call a **chemical reaction**. You can tell when a chemical reaction has taken place because: 1. you can see the new substance, for example, you might observe a colour change, a precipitate, or a gas may be given off. 2. energy is taken in or given out during the reaction. This may be in the form of sound, light or heat. For example, although the heat from the Bunsen burner is required to start the reaction between magnesium and oxygen to form magnesium oxide, once the reaction has started, it produces both heat and light energy. Chemical changes are generally more difficult to reverse than physical changes. For example, once wood has been burnt, do you think it would be easy to reverse? In summary: **Physical Changes** **Chemical Changes** ------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **Arrangement of Particles** The spacing between particles may change e.g. change of state from liquid to gas when boiling BUT particles stay the same Bonds within the particles are broken and new combinations within the particles may be created e.g. different particles are made. **Reversibility of Process** Relatively easy to reverse e.g. ice to water and water back to ice. Difficult to reverse e.g. burning wood ![](media/image14.jpeg)Watch ClickView video: Differences between Physical and Chemical Changes Classify the following as either physical or chemical change ------------------------------- -- Water freezing to make snow Candle burning Cake cooking Lighting the gas on the stove Fireworks exploding Hard boiling eggs Steam on bathroom mirror Bleaching a stain Adding salt to water Melting chocolate Using a Bunsen burner ------------------------------- -- **\ ** **Separating solutions -- Evaporation and crystallisation** **SEPARATE** a solute from a solution by evaporation and crystallisation and **IDENTIFY** situations when these techniques would be appropriate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **IDENTIFY** that a physical change has occurred in the process of evaporation. No new chemicals have been formed. ### **Separating Solutions** In a solution, the solute particles are small enough to pass through the holes in filter paper with the solvent, so filtering is not a feasible method of separation. Similarly, because the solute particles have 'disappeared', decantation or centrifuging are also not appropriate. Therefore, new methods must be used to separate such mixtures. #### **Evaporation and Crystallisation** If the solution was formed by a solid being dissolved in a liquid, the two can be separated by gently heating the solution. This procedure causes the solvent to evaporate leaving the pure solid behind (because solids do not easily evaporate) in the form of crystals. This method is of great use since it is easy to determine when all of the water has been driven off. ![Separating sand and salt by filtering and evaporation \| Experiment \| RSC Education](media/image15.jpeg) This method of separation is used extensively in the production of salt from seawater. Seawater is pumped on to the land and allowed to sit in large, shallow basins called saltpans. The sun evaporates the water leaving the salt crystals behind which can then be harvested. This method is also used in making raw sugar, where once the juice from sugar cane has had the impurities chemically removed, it is evaporated and the pure raw sugar crystallises out. **Practical: Evaporation and crystallisation** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **SEPARATE** a solute from a solution by evaporation and crystallisation and **IDENTIFY** situations when these techniques would be appropriate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #### **Aim:** To separate a solute from a solution by evaporation. #### **Equipment** 250 mL beaker Evaporating basin 1M copper sulfate solution --------------- ------------------- ---------------------------- Tripod Bunsen burner Hand lens Wire gauze Heat proof mat Solid copper sulfate Filter funnel Wooden skewer Kettle #### #### **Risk assessment:** Below are the hazards associated with copper sulfate solid.

If this happens, a **suspension** is said to have been formed. Suspensions are different from solutions in that in a suspension: \(a) much of the substance remains undissolved, and \(b) the solid and the liquid can be readily separated by filtering. ![](media/image18.png)Orange juice is an example of a suspension. If you buy a bottle of orange juice which has been sitting on a shop shelf you will notice that large chunks of orange have settled on the bottom of the bottle. When you shake up the orange juice the chunks of orange move throughout the liquid but do not dissolve, i.e. they can still be seen. No matter how much you shake the bottle the chunks will never disappear. After shaking, the chunks of orange will once again settle to the bottom of the bottle. Other examples of suspensions include *muddy water and a mixture of chalk and water.* *Sometimes when we try to mix things a mixture is produced with properties intermediate between those of a solution and a suspension. In this case the resulting mixture is cloudy but the tiny particles do not settle out. Such mixtures are called **colloids** or colloidal suspensions.

Suspend the filter funnel above the conical flask. 2\. Fold the filter paper in half, then in half again as shown in Figure on the right, and open it out into a cone. 3\. Place the filter paper into the top of the filter funnel and add a small volume of water so the filter paper sticks to the side of the funnel. 4\. Hold the glass rod vertically so that the bottom of the rod is almost touching the filter paper and carefully pour some of the suspension from the beaker down the stirring rod into the filter paper as shown in the diagram. **Precaution**: ensure that you never fill the filter paper above the rim of the cone. 5\. Once some of the liquid has drained through the filter paper carefully top up the funnel with more of the suspension. 6\. When the original beaker is empty of both solid and liquid you should find: \(a) a solid left in the filter paper. This is called the residue. \(b) a liquid left in the flask below the funnel.

If we wanted to keep the solvent we must somehow try to capture it as a gas and condense it back into a liquid before it escapes into the air. Such a process is called distillation. Distillation is the same as evaporation except that the heating is more rigorous and the solvent is retained by the process. This process is achieved as follows: \(a) the solution is heated in a distillation flask until the contents boil. The gaseous solvent rises and moves into the condenser while the solute remains in the flask. \(b) the gaseous solvent condenses back into a liquid in the condenser. \(c) pure solvent drips from the condenser and is collected in a beaker. ![Diagram Description automatically generated](media/image27.jpeg) Distillation has a wide number of uses. It can be used to make distilled water from tap water, convert wine into brandy and in the production of oils from plants. **Fractional distillation** Distillation can also be used to separate two or more liquids (with different boiling points) in a mixture. This application is used widely in the petroleum industry and involves a special type of distillation known as fractional distillation. Fractional distillation separates a mixture into a number of different parts, called fractions**.** A tall fractionating column is fitted above the mixture, with several condensers coming off at different heights. The column is hot at the bottom and cool at the top. Substances with high boiling points condense at the bottom and substances with lower boiling points condense on the way to the top. Crude oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons which is separated via fractional distillation.
