GC1: Chapter 1 Flashcards
What are mixtures?
2 or more pure substances combined, 2 types: homogeneous & heterogeneous
Homogeneous
Mixture is uniform throughout, includes solutions
Heterogeneous
Mixture is not uniform completely
Chemical properties
substances are involved in chemical reactions, changes substance
Physical properties
Doesn’t change identity of substance,
boiling point and melting point
Density
Acts as conversion factor between mass and volume
Supersaturated solutions
homogeneous mixture, has more dissolved solute than max. amount at a given temperature
how to make supersaturated solution
dissolve solute at elevated temp.
after all dissolved, cool it
