Ma#er “Food Ma(ers” Is it a Pure Substance or a Mixture? • Ma(er can be divided into two main categories: – Pure substances are homogeneous throughout. They have the same chemical properCes no ma(er where the sample is obtained or how large the sample is. – Mixtures are combinaCons of two or more substances, with each substance retaining its chemical idenCty. “Food Ma(ers” Is it a Pure Substance or a Mixture? • Consider the various food items throughout the classroom • On a sheet of notebook paper, write the name of the food and indicate whether you think it’s a Pure Substance or a Mixture. “Food Ma(ers” Is it a Pure Substance or a Mixture? • • • • • • • DisClled Water – PS Bo(led Water – M Tap Water – M OJ – M Milk – M Sugar – PS Salt -‐ PS Corn Flakes -‐ M White Vinegar -‐ M Corn Starch -‐ PS Plain Choc -‐ M Crunch Bar -‐ M Chemistry is the study of … • ….Ma#er • Ma(er is anything that takes up space and has mass. • Light and sound are NOT ma(er!! MATTER IS MADE UP OF… • …Atoms • The smallest par<cle of an element • Indivisible ….that guy is Democritus – Greek philosopher – “atomos” What Does an Atom Look Like? • Atoms are too small to see with the eye, but if we could see them, they would look like this…. • But we can see GROUPS of atoms. Groups of Atoms are Called… • …Elements • …made of IDENTICAL atoms. • Examples: Anything on the Periodic Table Elements can combine to form… • …Compounds • …contain 2 OR MORE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS (atoms) and are BONDED (a(ached) or joined in a fixed propor<on • Compounds are NOT on the Periodic Table; • Compounds are NOT MIXTURES (we’ll get to those later…) IdenCfy these as Element(s) or Compound(s). A B C D 1 Element 1 Compound 2 Elements 2 Elements Classifying Ma(er • All ma(er is made out of atoms… • And all ma(er can be classified into different categories! – Pure Substances – Mixtures Mixture • MIXTURES CAN BE SEPARATED! • Made up of 2 or more elements or compounds – Yellow – an ELEMENT – Red/Blue – a COMPOUND (Atoms are not really colored. The different colors represent different elements.) Pure Substances (or simply, a substance) • CANNOT BE SEPARATED • Can be made up of all one element OR all one compound • Examples: – table salt – table sugar • Element • Compound IdenCfy these as Pure Substances or Mixtures. A B C D Pure 1 element Pure Mixture Mixture 1 compound 2 elements 2 elements Pure Substances v. Mixtures Video Mixtures • A combinaCon of more than one type of substance • The properCes of a mixture can vary because the make up of a mixture is not fixed (unlike compounds which have a fixed proporCon) • 2 Types of Mixtures: – Heterogeneous – the parts of the mixture are no*ceably different from one another – Homogeneous – the parts of the mixture are so evenly distributed that it appears to be all the same substance (but a mixture is more than one substance!) Time for some PracCce! Elements, Compounds and Mixtures & Substances v. Mixtures SoluCons and Suspensions and Colloids…Oh My! • A mixture can be further classified into 3 categories based on the size its largest par<cles – Solu<ons – Suspensions – Colloids SoluCons and Suspensions and Colloids…Oh My! • Solu<ons – homogeneous mixtures – Examples: Sugar dissolved in water, tap water – ProperCes of soluCons: • DO NOT separate into layers over Cme • If liquid soluCons are poured through a filter none of the substance gets trapped in the filter. • You can see through liquid soluCons – All of these relate to the size of the par<cles -‐ in a soluCon, they are <ny! Homogeneous Mixture • Substances are evenly distributed • Appears to contain only one substance • SoluCons – homogeneous mixtures in which one substance dissolves in another SoluCons and Suspensions and Colloids…Oh My! • Suspensions – heterogeneous mixtures – Example: sandy water – ProperCes of soluCons: • DO separate into layers over Cme • If you pour a suspension through a filter some of the substance in the mixture gets trapped in the filter. • Suspensions are cloudy because light gets sca(ered in all direcCons as it hits larger par<cles. – All of these relate to the size of the par<cles -‐ in a suspension, they are bigger! Heterogeneous Mixture • The parts of the mixture are noCceably different from one another • Suspensions – Separate into layers Heterogeneous Mixture • Suspensions can be mixed (“Shake before serving) but eventually separate out. SoluCons and Suspensions and Colloids…Oh My! • Colloids– somewhere in between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures – Examples: milk and fog – ProperCes of colloids: • DO NOT separate into layers over Cme. • Cannot use a filter to separate the parts of a colloid • Light gets sca#ered when it passes into a colloid – Contain intermediate sized parCcles How Do You Separate A Mixture? • REMEMBER THE LAB? • Here are a few other ways to separate mixtures…. SeparaCon of Mixtures • Compounds and mixtures differ in another way. • It is difficult to separate a compound into each element. • Mixtures can be easy to separate into its components because each component keeps its own proper<es. SeparaCon of Mixtures 1. Magnetic attraction: The magnetic components of a mixture can be separated by using a magnet. SeparaCon of Mixtures 2. Filtration: separates parts of a heterogeneous mixture by pouring it though a filter, the larger particles (residue) will be held in the filter while the smaller ones (filtrate) will pass through. SeparaCon of Mixtures 3. Distillation: used to separate components of a homogeneous mixture based on their different boiling points. Solution is heated and substance with lower boiling points evaporates and passes through a tube where it cools and turns back into water in another container. SeparaCon of Mixtures 4. Evaporation: When a mixture contains a solvent such as water and a solute such as salt, the solvent can be allowed to evaporate, leaving behind the solute. SeparaCon of Mixtures 5. Sedimenta<on: occurs naturally when solid substances that are heavier than their solvent deposit at the bo(om of the mixture. SeparaCon of Mixtures 6. Decanta<on: a heterogeneous mixture that has dis<nct layers can be separated by slowly pouring one of the layers into another container.
