Mixtures & Solutions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is matter? | Anything that takes up space and has mass. |
| What are the three states of matter? | Solid, Liquid, and Gas |
| What do the properties of matter mean? | Describe the characteristics of matter |
| What are some properties you can use to describe matter? | Colour, odour, taste, feel, density, boiling point, freezing point |
| What are some properties of water? | Colourless, tasteless, can be a solid, liquid or gas, boils at 100 degrees and freezes at 0 degrees. |
| Homogenous Matter | One set of properties (looks the same throughout) |
| Heterogenous Matter | More than one set of properties (you can see different parts in it) |
| Pure Substance | All the particles look the same. It cannot be separated into different substances. |
| What are examples of pure substances? | Gold, Carbon Dioxide, Copper, Silver |
| Mechanical Mixture | Same as heterogenous matter. You can see the different parts that were added together. |
| What are examples of mechanical mixtures? | Pepsi, Chocolate Chip Cookie, Pepperoni Pizza, Salad |
| Solution | A homogenous mixture. It’s mixed together so well you can only see one set of properties. |
| What are examples of solutions? | Kool-Aid, Tree Sap, Ocean Water, Tooth Fillings, Air |
| What are the two parts of any solution? | Solute and Solvent |
| Solute | Gets dissolved to form a solution – the part with the least amount |
| Solvent | Does the dissolving to form a solution – the part in the larger amount. |
| Dissolving | Making a solution by mixing two or more substances. |
| What must the particles in a solute/solvent do in order to make a solution? | They must be attracted to each other. |
| What four things can affect the rate of dissolving? | Stirring, Crushing, Temperature, Pressure |
| Which was the fastest dissolving chocolate? | Crushing (Chewing) |
| Soluble | Means it will dissolve |
| Example of soluble materials? | Baking Soda, Salt, Borax, Vinegar |
| Insoluble | Means it won’t dissolve |
| Example of insoluble materials? | Pepper and Flour |
| Concentration | How much solute is dissolved in a certain amount of solvent |
| Concentrated | Solution with a large amount of solute |
| Dilute | Solution with a low amount of solute |
| Unsaturated | More solute can dissolve into the solvent at the temperature |
| Saturated | No more solute can dissolve at the temperature |
| Hydrometer | Measures the concentration of solutions |
| How does a hydrometer work? | It floats higher in concentrated solutions and lower in dilute solutions |
