Pure sub mixtures and solutions Flashcards
Pure substance
Matter that has a fixed composition (contains one element homogeneous)
Mixture
2 PHYSICALLY combined compounds homogeneous or heterogeneous
What is a compound
2 or more chemically combined elements
What are homogeneous mixtures
Mixture in which the components are evenly distributed among each other. You cant see the component parts This is also known as a solution
Solutions
Well mixed
Homogeneous
Transparent
Cannot be separated by filter
do not separate on standing
Heterogeneous mixtures
The components are not evenly distributed among eachother. Two or more distinct phases that are usually detectible (not uniform properties)
What is the Tyndall effect
particles in mixtures that scatter light
What are the 3 classes of mixtures
Solution
Colloid
Suspension
What is homogeneous
A substance which composition is uniform throughout the mixture
What is heterogeneous
A mixture where throughout the solution the composition is not uniform
How are heterogeneous substances like
They are 2 or more physically combined substances
Colloid
Non transparent
non uniform
large particles
cloudy
Suspension
Particles suspended in the mixutre
Flour in water
