Learn about mixtures, including homogeneous and heterogeneous types, and methods such as filtration, distillation, crystallization, and chromatography used to separate them.

Section 3.3 Mixtures of Matter
Objectives Contrast mixtures and substances Classify mixtures as homogeneous or heterogeneous List and describe several techniques used to separate mixtures
Mixtures • Combination of two or more pure substances in which the pure substances retain their chemical properties
Examples Salt and water • Sand and water
Heterogeneous Mixtures • Does not blend smoothly throughout it • Individual components remain in distinct areas • No uniform distribution of components
Homogeneous Mixture • Constant composition throughout • Single phase • Also referred to as a solution • Can be solid, liquid, or gas
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 • Ex: Filter paper
Distillation • Homogenous mixture separation • Ability of components to form gases • Ex: Salt water Salt + Water
Crystallization • Used when a solution contains maximum amount of dissolved substance • Add a little more and pure solid particles are produced
Chromatography • “Writing of Colors” • Separation by differing abilities of substances to adhere to various surface solids • Paper, starch • Ex: ink separation by paper chromatography
