1. Mixtures
Spring 2011

2. Compounds Vs. Mixtures
Compound Definition: Two or more different elements chemically bonded by a chemical reaction to form a new substance.
Examples: NaCl, H2O, CO2
How can they be broken down or separated?: Compounds can only be broken down or separated by chemical means. (it requires a chemical reaction to break them apart).

4. Compounds Vs. Mixtures
Mixtures Definition: a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined.
Examples: salad, kool-aid, blood, salt water
How can they be broken down or separated?: Mixtures can be broken down physically. No chemical reaction is required.

5. Characteristics of Mixtures
No chemical change occurs(the
substances keep their identity).
B.THE SUBSTANCES CAN BE SEPARATED!!!!!

6. Atoms vs. Elements vs. Compounds vs. Mixtures

7. MIXTURES
COMPOUNDS
Components are elements, compounds or both
Components are elements
Components keep their original properties
Components lose their original properties
Separated by physical means
Separated by chemical means
Formed using any ratio of components
(Ex- salad, if you want more lettuce, just add it)
Formed using a specific ratio of elements
(Ex- water H2O… not H2O2)

8. Types of Mixtures Heterogeneous- the different
substances are visible in the mixture.
Homogeneous – The mixture looks the same and has the same characteristics throughout.

9. Types of Heterogeneous mixtures
a. Suspension: mixtures in which particles of a material are dispersed throughout a liquid or gas but are large enough that they settle out.

10. Types of Homogenous Mixtures
Solution: A mixture that looks to be the same but is composed of 2 or more substances
appears to be a single substance.
Examples: Alloys, soda, salt water, tea.

11. Types of Homogeneous Mixtures
Colloid: a mixtures in which the particles are dispersed (spread) throughout but are not heavy
enough to settle out.
Examples: Milk, mayonnaise, stick
deodorant, shaving cream, and
jello are all colloids.
Colloids are like a mix between solutions
and suspensions

13. Parts of a Solution Solute: is the substance that is dissolved.
Ex. Salt, sugar.
Solvent: is the substance in which the solute is dissolved in.
Does the
dissolving
Ex. Water.

14. Solubility=the ability of an object to dissolve into other substances.
Solubility of Solids and Temperature Change:
Solubility of solids increases as temperature increases.
Solubility of Gases and Temperature Change:
Solubility of gases decreases as temperature increases.

16. Separating Mixtures
Suppose you had a mixture of iron nails, salt and water…
How would you separate this mixture completely?
Based on which physical properties would you base your method on?

17. Ways Mixtures Can Be Separated
Filtration – Used to separate heterogeneous mixtures composed of liquids and solids
Using some form of filter to separate particles that won’t dissolve from a liquid.
This is good for separating an insoluble solid from a liquid (an insoluble substance does not dissolve in water).
EX: sand can be separated from a mixture of sand and water
Using filtration

19. Evaporation – Used when you wish to collect a solute from a solution.
Evaporate a LIQUID to leave the SOLID behind.

20. Separating Mixtures Continued
Distillation: the process that separate a mixture based on the boiling points of the components.
Used to separate
Homogeneous
mixtures

21. Chromatography – used to separate out mixtures of dyes.
Shows all the colors used to make certain dyes or pigments
ink stain

25. Acids & Bases

26. Foldable Instructions
Get a piece of paper and fold “hamburger style”.
Fold “hamburger style” again.
Cut the TOP half of the paper up to the “mountain”.
Label one side “ACID” and the other side “BASE”.
The inside of the flaps should contain your notes on acids, bases, and the pH scale. Follow along with PowerPoint.

27. Our Goals for today To determine the difference between Acids & Bases
Discuss the importance of studying Acids & Bases
Perform an experiment dealing with Acids & Bases

28. Characteristics Of Acids
Acids can be
characterized by:
A sour taste. Try drinking lemon juice (citric acid)
It turns litmus paper red
Have a pH from 0-7, the lower the pH number the stronger the acid…
They can neutralize (chemical reaction) a base.
They are corrosive (eat through things).

29. Characteristics of Bases
A Base is characterized by:
A bitter taste. (TUMS)
It feels slippery. (Soapy Water)
It turns Red Litmus Blue.
Have a pH from 7-14, the higher the pH number, the stronger the base.
Can neutralize (chemical reaction) an acid.

30. What is the pH scale?
The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a mixture is.

31. Draw a pH scale in your foldable
Draw a pH scale in your foldable. You do NOT have to draw the pictures, but you should include some examples of acids and bases on your scale.

32. Identifying Acids and Bases
Acids have a ph from 0-7
Lower pH value indicates a stronger acid.
Bases have a pH from 7-14
Higher pH value indicates a stronger base.

33. Did we Miss something?? What happens when the pH of a substance is 7?
Ans: A pH level of 7 indicates a Neutral Substance i.e: Water!
Neutral- is neither an acid nor a base.
Neutralization- chemical reaction between an acid and a base to form a neutral substance (salts).

34. Why Learn about Acids & Bases?
What do you think is the pH level of NYC tap water?
The pH of a swimming pool must be checked periodically. Why?
Is it important for Lakes & Rivers to maintain a certain pH?

35. Today’s Experiment Test the pH of Pepsi, tap water, and drain cleaner
On the back of your foldable copy the chart below to record your observations about acids and bases.
GOOD LUCK!!!
