Warm-Up • In your own words, define the word mixture.
Solution Chemistry A Closer Look a Mixtures
Solutions • Homogeneous mixture of two or more substances in a single phase • Two components • Solute- the substance being dissolved • Solvent- the substance doing the dissolving • Can be a mixture of solids, liquids, and gases • Ex- air, brass, salt water
Suspension • A mixture in which the solute particles are so large, the eventually settle out unless the mixture is constantly stirred • Particles larger than 1000nm in diameter • Particles can be separated using filter paper • Ex- muddy water
Colloid • Mixtures with solute particles between 1 and 1000nm in diameter • Particles able to remain suspended throughout the solvent • Ex- milk, smoke, gelatin, foams
How can we tell them apart? • Suspensions will eventually settle out • For solutions and colloids, we can refer to the Tyndall Effect • If we shine a light on a mixture, and the light does not scatter, it is a solution • If the light does scatter, it is a colloid.
Types of Solutes • Electrolyte- A substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that conducts electric current • Nonelectrolyte- A substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that does not conduct an electric current
Three Categories of Solutions • Unsaturated solution- A solution that contains the less than the maximum amount of dissolved solute • Saturated solution- A solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute • Supersaturated solution- A solution that contains more than the maximum amount of dissolved solute
Exit Ticket: To be Turned in • Explain the difference between a solution, suspension, and a colloid. Explain how we can tell them apart.
