Key Points
Pure substances have uniform composition.
A pure substance consists of a single type of particle and exhibits consistent chemical properties.
Mixtures contain two or more substances.
Mixtures can include elements or compounds and have a variable composition, unlike pure substances.
Homogeneous mixtures are uniform.
Components in homogeneous mixtures, like solutions, are evenly distributed and cannot be visibly distinguished.
Heterogeneous mixtures display distinct parts.
Heterogeneous mixtures have visibly different substances or phases, like oil and water, where parts can be separated.
Solutions are homogeneous mixtures.
A solution consists of a solute (substance dissolved) and a solvent (substance doing the dissolving) with mixed properties.
Colloids scatter light (Tyndall effect).
Colloids are mixtures where the dispersed particles are small enough to remain suspended but can scatter light.
Suspensions contain larger particles.
In suspensions, particles are large enough to settle out over time and can be seen by the naked eye.
Separation techniques like filtration work on mixtures.
Methods like filtration separate components based on particle size or solubility differences.
Concentration measures solute presence.
Concentration can be expressed in mass/mass, mass/volume, or volume/volume percentages, indicating the amount of solute in a solution.
Example: Brass is an alloy.
Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc, which exhibits properties from both metals, showing variable composition.
Elements cannot be broken down chemically.
Elements are the most basic forms of matter and consist of only one type of atom.
Compounds are formed by chemical reactions.
Compounds consist of two or more elements chemically combined in fixed proportions, exhibiting different properties than individual elements.
Saturated solutions contain maximum solute.
A saturated solution is one where no additional solute can dissolve at a specific temperature.
Unsaturated solutions can dissolve more solute.
If a solution can dissolve additional solute without reaching saturation, it is classified as unsaturated.
Physical properties can change without altering composition.
Changes like melting or boiling are physical changes, as they do not affect the substance's chemical identity.
Chemical changes result in new substances.
During a chemical change, the original substances undergo a transformation to form different chemical compounds.
Variable composition characterizes mixtures.
Mixtures can vary in the proportions of their components, affecting their overall properties.
Dissolved salts and sugar are examples of solutes.
In aqueous solutions, solutes like salt or sugar are dissolved entirely by the solvent, water.
Colloids remain stable without separation.
Unlike suspensions, colloidal particles remain evenly distributed and do not settle upon standing.
Cleaning muddy water can employ filtration.
Simple filtration techniques can separate impurities and larger particles from liquids, like muddy water.
