Section 3.3 Mixtures of Matter
Composition of Matter Matter SubstanceMixture
Mixtures Combination of two or more pure substances in which the pure substances retain their chemical properties
Examples Sand and water Salt and water
Types of Mixtures Mixtures HeterogeneousHomogeneous
Heterogeneous Mixtures Does not blend smoothly throughout it Individual components remain distinct areas of the mixture No uniform distribution of components throughout the mixture
Homogeneous Mixture Constant composition throughout Single phase Also referred to as a solution Can be solid, liquid, or gas
Heterogeneous or Homogeneous?

Separating Mixtures Reverse of mixing Since each component of a mixture retains chemical composition… Chemists developed various separation methods
Filtration Solid from liquid separation Uses porous medium Example: Filter paper
Filtration Apparatus
Distillation Homogenous mixture separation Ability of components to form gases Example: Salt water Salt + Pure Water
Distillation Apparatus
Crystallization Used when a solution contains maximum amount of dissolved substance Add a little more and pure solid particles are produced
Rock Candy Crystallization
Chromatography “Writing of Colors” Separation by differing abilities of substances to adhere to various surface solids Paper, starch Example: ink separation by paper chromatography
