Mixtures and Solutions

2. Chapter 7: Matter can be classified as mixtures or pure substances

3. The Particles Theory All matter is made up of particles.
These particles are constantly moving – they have energy.
There are spaces between these particles.
There attractive forces between the particles.
The particles of one substance differs from the particles of other substances.

4. States of Matter

5. Matter Pure Substances Mixtures
A pure substance is matter that is the same throughout; having the same kind of particles.
Examples:
Gold, copper water, iron, white sugar, ...
The Period Table of Elements.
A mixture contains two or more different types of matter; having different particles.
Air (oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, etc.), garden salad (lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, etc.), Raisin bread (raisins, wheat, etc), ...

6. Mixtures Heterogeneous Homogeneous Mechanical mixtures
Easy to see the different parts
Composition of particles varies within the sample; more than one substance.
Composition of samples may vary.
Light will reflect perpendicular to the incident beam
Examples: stir fry, sandwich,
Salsa, ...
Solution
Hard to see the different particles; appears as one substance.
Composition of particles is the same within the sample.
Composition of samples is the same.
Light will pass through unaffected.
Examples: salt water, vinegar, clean air, ...

8. Chapter 8: Some substances dissolve to form solutions faster and more easily than others

9. Solutions Characteristics of a Solution: Dissolving Solute
Solvent (Water,…)
Solubility (soluble/insoluble)

10. Dissolving Substances When two substances mix together to create a solution, where one substance dissolves into the other substance
Solute
Solvent
Solvent is the substance that dissolves.
Solvent is the substance in which the solute dissolves.

11. Working with Solutions “Soluble” vs. “Insoluble”
Soluble Substances:
A substance that is “soluble” is able to dissolve in a certain solvent.
Example: Sugar (a solute) is able to dissolve in water. Water is considered the universal solvent.

12. Insoluble Substances:
A substance that is “insoluble” is unable to dissolve in a certain solvent.
Example: Sand is unable to dissolve in water.

13. Qualitative and Quantitative Data and Description
The descriptive form when the relationship of solute to solvent is expressed using words.
Ex. The jello solution turned orange when the jello powder was added.
Quantitative:
The descriptive form when the relationship of solute to solvent is expressed with numbers.
Ex. 3.4 g of jello powder to 2 cups of water.

14. Concentration The quantity (amount) of solute that is dissolved in a solvent.
Concentrated Solution – Has a large mass of dissolved solute for a certain quantity of solvent.
Example: Strong tea
Dilute Solution – Has a small mass of dissolved solute for a certain quantity of solvent.
Example: Light tea

15. Which glass has the higher concentration of red dye?

16. Occurs when a solution is able to dissolve more solute.
More of concentration
Saturated Solution
Unsaturated Solution
Forms when no more solute will dissolve in a specific amount of solvent at a certain temperature.
There will come a point when salt will not dissolve in water because the water is too saturated with salt.
Occurs when a solution is able to dissolve more solute.
Salt will continue to dissolve until it becomes saturated.
Adding more solvent will dilute the solution, making the solute less in comparison to the solvent

18. Solubility Factors which affect the solubility of solids and gas:
Stirring
Temperature
Pressure
Size of the particles of solute

19. Measuring Concentration
Percent by mass The simplest statement of the concentrations of the components of a mixture is in terms of their percentages by weight or volume. Mass percentage is calculated as the mass of a component divided by the total mass of the mixture, multiplied by 100%.
Ex. Bleach is 5.25% NaOCl by mass, which means each 100 g of bleach contains 5.25 g NaOCl.
Parts per million Parts Per Million or ppm means out of a million. It describes the concentration of something in water or soil. One ppm is equivalent to one milligram of substance per liter of water (mg/l). Generally, used with low concentration.
Ex. 0.3 mg/l of salt
