Mixtures Chapter 4 Section 3
Describe the 3 properties of mixtures Describe 4 methods of separating the parts of a mixture Analyze a solution in terms of its solute and solvent Explain how concentration affects a solution Describe the particles in a suspension Explain how a colloid differs from a solution and a suspension
Objectives
A combination of 2 or more substances that are not chemically combined
No chemical change occurs
Each substance keeps its identity
You cannot always see all components of a mixture
Properties of Mixtures
Not all mixtures are easy to separate
Common ways to separate mixtures: ◦ Distillation Based on boiling points of the components
◦ Magnet Elements that are attracted separate out
◦ Centrifuge Separates mixtures by the densities of the components

Centrifuge
Compound: specific mass ratio
Mixture: no definite ratio
Ex: Granite pg. 100 Fig. 3 in text
Ratio of Components in a Mixture
Mixtures
Compounds
Made of elements, compounds, or both
Made of elements
No change in original properties of components
Change in original components
Separated by physical means
Separated by chemical means
Formed using any ratio of components
Formed using a set ratio of components
Mixtures vs. Compounds
A mixture that appears to be a single substance 2 or more substances distributed evenly: dissolving
Solute: the substance that is dissolved
Solvent: the substance in which the solute is dissolved
Solutions
Soluble: able to dissolve
Insoluble: Unable to dissolve
Ex: salt water is a solution (apply the vocabulary)
When 2 liquids or 2 gases form a solution, the largest amount of substance is the solvent
Solutions
Solutions: apply your vocabulary
States
Examples
Gas in gas
Dry air (oxygen in nitrogen)
Gas in liquid
Soft drinks (CO2 in water)
Liquid in liquid
Antifreeze (alcohol in water)
Solid in liquid
Salt water (NaCl in water)
Solid in solid
Brass (Zn in Cu)
Examples of Solutions
Particles are so small they never settle out
Cannot be removed by filtering
Particles are so small they do not scatter light
Particles in Solutions
Amount of solute dissolved in a solvent
Expressed in g/mL of solvent
Concentrated or dilute
Concentration of Solutions http://wwwsci.seastarchemicals.com/images/faq_co3.jpg
The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve
The ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent at a certain temperature
Solubility
Most solids are soluble in liquids at higher temperatures
Gases become less soluble in liquids as the temperature increases
Ex: soft drinks going flat at high temps

Dissolving Solids Faster in Liquids http://www.thehomeherbalist.com/images/pic_pestal.jpg
A mixture in which the particles of a material are dispersed throughout a liquid or gas but are large enough that they settle out
Can be separated through a filter
Ex: snow globe
Suspensions http://seattlest.com/attachments/seattle_courtney/snow-globe.jpg
Mixtures that have properties between solutions and suspensions
Particles are dispersed throughout but not heavy enough to settle
Ex: milk, mayonnaise, stick deodorant, gelatin, whipped cream
Colloids
Small than particles in suspension, but can scatter light
Cannot be separated by filtration
Particles are small enough to pass through a filter
Colloids http://www.science4u.info/virtuallab/_images/image_aut_nep_science.gif
Which of the following is not a solution: air in a scuba tank, muddy water, a soft drink, or salt water?
When iodine is dissolved in alcohol, which is the solute, and which is the solvent?
