Section 3.3 Mixtures of Matter
Mixtures • Combination of two or more pure substances in which the pure substances retain their chemical properties
Examples • Sand and water • Salt and water
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
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
Distillation • Homogenous mixture separation • Ability of components to form gases • Example: Salt water Salt + Pure 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 • Example: ink separation by paper chromatography
