MIXTURES
What is a pure substance?
A pure substance is a substance that is made up of only one type of particle, either atoms or molecules.
Examples include elements like oxygen and compounds like water.
โข PURE SUBSTANCES- elements, covalent compounds, and ionic compounds. ๐๐๐

MIXTURES
What is a heterogeneous mixture?
โข a heterogeneous mixture does not have a uniform composition throughout the sample
โข the composition varies within the mixture, and you can usually see the different substances mixed together.
Examples: salad, sand and water, and oil and water.

MIXTURES
What is a homogenous mixture?
โข a homogenous mixture has a uniform composition throughout the sample
โข the composition is the same throughout, and itโs difficult to distinguish between the different substances in the mixture.
Example: Salt water and air

SOLUTIONS
What is a solution and what two parts does it consist of?
โข a solution is a homogenous mixture that contains small particles. Liquid solutions are often transparent.
Solutions consist of two parts:
โข the solute is the substance present in a lesser amount
โข the solvent is the substance in a larger amount
๐ฅAn aqueous solution has water as the solvent

COLLOIDS AND SUSPENSIONS
What is a colloid?
โข a colloid is a homogenous mixture with larger particles, often having an opaque appearance.
- Particles in a colloid cannot be filtered from its other components
- They do not settle out
Ex: milk, fog, whipped cream, paint, blood

COLLOIDS AND SUSPENSIONS
What is a suspension?
โข a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture that contains large particles suspended in a liquid.
- Particles are so large that they do not dissolve any liquid
- They can be filtered away from the liquid or separated, using a centrifuge
Ex: salad dressing, orange juice, muddy water,

What is the Tyndall effect?
Pg 8
โข Tyndall effect- light is scattered as it travels through a colloid making the light pathway visible

ELECTROLYTES AND NONELECTROLYTES
What is an electrolyte?
An electrolyte is a substance that conducts in electric current in water
NaCl(aq) dissociates into Na+(aq) and Cl^- (aq)
๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
ELECTROLYTES AND NONELECTROLYTES
What is a non-electrolyte
A non-electrolyte is a substance that does not conduct an electric current in water
H2O2 does not dissociate

ELECTROLYTES AND NONELECTROLYTES
What makes a strong electrolyte and what makes a weak electrolyte?
Pg 9 ๐ฝ๏ธ
โข a strong electrolyte dissociates completely and water to form ions
โข a week electrolyte dissociates partially in water to form some ions, mostly uncharged molecules

Review
ELECTROLYTES AND NONELECTROLYTES
List three solutes, species in solution, conductivity, and examples.
1.
Solute: strong electrolyte
Specifies in Solution: ions
Conductivity: conducts an electric
Examples: NaCl, KOH, HCl, KBr
2.
Solute: week electrolyte
Specifies in Solution: molecules with ions
Conductivity: conducts an electric current
Examples: NH3, CH3CO2H, HF
3.
Solute: non-electrolyte
Specifies in Solution: molecules
Conductivity: does not conduct an electric current
Examples: CH3CH2OH, H2O2

SOLUBILITY GENERAL FEATURES
What is solubility?
โข Solubility is the amount of solute that dissolves in a given amount of solvent.
โข It is usually reported in grams of solute per 100 mL of solution (g/100mL)

SOLUBILITY GENERAL FEATURES
What is a saturated solution?
A saturated solution contains the maximum number of grams of solute that can dissolve
๐ฅช๐ฅช๐ฅช๐ฅช๐ฅชโจ
SOLUBILITY GENERAL FEATURES
What is an unsaturated solution?
An unsaturated solution contains less than the maximum number of grams of solute that can dissolve.

SOLUBILITY
BASIC PRINCIPLES
Solubility can be summed up as โlike dissolves like.โ
โข this is due to the interaction of intermolecular forces
โข substances, exhibiting or able to exhibit, the same intermolecular forces will dissolve in one another
โจโจโจโLike dissolves likeโ refers to the principle that substances with similar chemical properties tend to dissolve in each other. For example, polar solvents like water tend to dissolve polar solutes like salt or sugar, while nonpolar solvents like oil dissolve nonpolar solutes like grease or wax. This principle arises from the idea that molecules with similar polarity or intermolecular forces are more likely to mix and form a solution.
