Understanding Mixtures and Solutions

A mixture consists of two or more types of atoms that are not chemically combined, and can include solids, liquids, and gases. Mixtures can be classified as heterogeneous or homogeneous, with solutions being a special type of homogeneous mixture involving a solute and a solvent. Various separation techniques such as distillation, filtration, and chromatography can be used to separate components of mixtures.

What Is A

Mixture?
A mixture is made of 2 or more types
of atoms that are NOT chemically
combined together.

Mixtures can take many forms:

2+ Solids 2+ Liquids 2+ Gases

ANY combination of solids, liquids


What Is A Chemical Mixture?
A mixture is a material system made up
of two or more different substances,
which are mixed but not combined
chemically.

• We can measure how easily a solute will
dissolve in a certain solvent.

• This measurement is called


solubility.

Dilute vs.

• We can add a LITTLE or a LOT of solute!

• For example, putting spoonfuls of


sugar into a cup of tea…

A solution with
only a small
amount of
solute is called
a dilute
solution.

Saturated
Solutions
Eventually, a solvent can’t hold
anymore!

A saturated solution CANNOT


hold any more solute at a
certain temperature.

Going!
But, by heating a solvent up, we
can make it hold even more
solute than normal.

A super-saturated solution
contains more solute than it
can normally dissolve.

Heat It!
SEPARATION TECHNIQUES

• To separate matter there are various


separation techniques: distillation,
filtration, evaporation and
chromatography.

• Matter can be in the same phase or in


two different phases for this separation.
DISTILLATION

• A process involving the conversion of a


liquid into vapour that is subsequently
condensed back to liquid form.
• Separate liquids from nonvolatile solids,
Ex. separation of alcoholic liquors from
fermented materials, or in the separation of
two or more liquids having different boiling
points, as in the separation of gasoline,
kerosene, and lubricating oil from crude oil.
DISTILLATION

Hydrocarbons are jumbled together as


thick black crude oil. The most efficient
way to separate them into smaller
fractions is by a process called fractional
distillation. Short hydrocarbons (one to
four carbons) are gases at room
temperatures because they have such low
boiling points
CHROMATOGRAPHY

• Technique for separating the


components, or solutes, of a mixture on
the basis of the relative amounts of
each solute distributed between a
moving fluid stream, called the mobile
phase, and a contiguous stationary
phase.
CHROMATOGRAPHY

• Forensic scientists are able to use ink


chromatography to solve crimes by
matching documents or stains found at a
crime scene to the marker or pen that
belongs to a suspect.
• Forensic scientists analyze the unknown
ink and compare it to writing utensils
collected from possible suspects.
CHROMATOGRAPHY

• Chromatography is useful in
determining which antibodies fight
various diseases and viruses.
FILTRATION

• the action or process of filtering something.

DECANTATION

• process of separation of liquid from solid


and other immiscible (non-mixing)
liquids, by removing the liquid layer at
the top from the layer of solid or liquid
below. The process can be carried out by
EVAPORATION

• A technique used to separate out


homogeneous mixtures that contain one
or more dissolved salts. The method
drives off the liquid components from the
solid components. The process typically
involves heating the mixture until no
more liquid remains.
