Chemistry - Mixtures Flashcards
Define MIXTURE
Mixture -containing two or more substances
What are the 3 KINDS of MIXTURE?
Three different kinds of mixture:
- Suspension
- Colloid
- Solution
Define SUSPENSION
Suspension -the substances are not chemically bonded: they will separate over time
Define COLLOID
Colloid -the substances are chemically bonded: they are now one substance, and can not be separated easily
Define SOLUTION
Solution -the solute is dissolved in the solvent
Define SOLUTE
Solute -the solid
Define SOLVENT
Solvent -the liquid
If the SOLUTE is SOLUABLE…
a SOLUTION is FORMED.
If the SOLUTE is INSOLUABLE…
a SUSPENSION is FORMED.
How do you WORK OUT the MASS of the SOLUTION?
Mass of SOLUTION = Mass of SOLUTE + Mass of SOLVENT
What does the LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS STATE?
You will always end up with the same amount of mass that you started with.
What are the 4 METHODS of SEPARTATING MIXURES?
- Filtration
- Evaporation
- Distillation
- Chromatography
What is FILTERING used to SEPARTE?
Insoluble solids from a suspension -e.g. sand mixed into water
What is EVAPORATION used to SEPARATE?
Soluble solids from a solution/colloid -e.g. salt dissolved in water
What is DISTILLATION used to SEPARTE?
Liquid from a mixture -e.g. alcohol from watered alcohol
