Objectives of chapter:

Outline:

22.1 Most materials are mixtures

a mixture is ___________

Mixtures are common in our everyday lives

Mixtures come in many forms

examples:

22.2 Mixtures can be separated by means of physical properties

distillation

filtration

22.3 Pure or Impure? what does it mean?

Types of mixtures:

 

Heterogeneous

Definition: Heterogeneous mixtures have particles that may be unevenly sized or not evenly distributed. Heterogeneous mixtures exhibit the Tyndall effect in bright light.

Examples:

colloids / emulsions - do NOT settle out

  • milk
  • smoke / smog
  • fog
  • whipped cream

suspension - will settle out

  • muddy water
  • salad dressing

22.4 What is a solution?

Homogeneous

Definition: Homogeneous mixtures are evenly mixed and the particles are spread out.

Solutions have a solvent and solute -- the solvent is the greater of the two and does the "dissolving"

Examples:

 

saturated vs. unsaturated solutions

concentration

what then is a mole of something?

what is ... a few? a couple? a dozen?
