2.9 Flashcards
Heterogenous mixture
has one or more visible boundaries among the components. its composition is not uniform (varies from one region of the mixture to another)
Homogenous mixture/solution
has no visible boundaries because components are individual atoms ions or molecules
composition is uniform
what are the three ways mixtures differ from compounds?
- proportions of mixtures components can vary
- the individual properties of a mixture are observable
- the components of a mixture can be separated by physical means
Filtration and what its often used to separate
method of separating components of a mixture by particle size
often used to separate a solid from a liquid
Crystallization
used to separate and purify components based on difference in solubility resulting in one component coming out of the solution as crystals
solubility of the substance is the amount that dissolves in a fixed volume of solvent at a given temp
Distillation
more volatile component of mixture vaporizes and condenses separately from the less volatile components
votality= tendency of a substance to become gas
Chromatography
mixture is dissolved in a gas or liquid and the components are separated as this solution mobile phase flows through the solid stationary phase
the component with the lower solubility in the stationary phase moves through it faster than a component with a higher solubility
