what does a scientist mean when a substance is pure
When a scientist says that something is pure, it means that all the constituent particles of that substance are the same in their chemical
what is a mixture?
When two or more substances (elements, compounds or both) are physically mixed together in any proportion, such that they do not undergo any chemical change, but retain their individual characteristics, the resulting product is called a mixture.
what is a solution ?
solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
define alloy
alloy are mixture of two or more metals or a metal and a non-metal is known as alloy. They can’t be separated to their original by physical methods.
for e.g. brass is made up of 30% zinc and 70% copper
what are the two parts of solution
solute and solvent
define solvent
The component of the solution
that dissolves the other component in it
(usually the component present in larger
amount) is called the solvent.
define solute
The component
of the solution that is dissolved in the solvent
(usually present in lesser quantity) is called
the solute.
what are the properties of a solution?
• A solution is a homogeneous mixture.
• The particles of a solution are smaller
than 1 nm (10^-9 metre) in diameter. So,
they cannot be seen by naked eyes.
• Because of very small particle size, they
do not scatter a beam of light passing
through the solution. So, the path of
light is not visible in a solution.
• The solute particles cannot be
separated from the mixture by the
process of filtration. The solute particles
do not settle down when left undisturbed,
that is, a solution is stable
what is a saturated solution?
a solution that has dissolved as much solute as it is
capable of dissolving, is said to be a saturated
solution. In other words, when no more solute
can be dissolved in a solution at a given
temperature, it is called a saturated solution
what is unsaturated solution?
If the amount of solute contained in a
solution is less than the saturation level, it is
called an unsaturated solution
what is the concentration of a solution?
The concentration of a solution is the amount
(mass or volume) of solute present in a given
amount (mass or volume) of solution
what’s the formula for finding the concentration of a solution by mass?
Mass by mass percentage of a solution
Mass of solute

what’s the formula for finding concentration of a solution by Mass and volume?

what kind of a mixture is a suspension?
A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles do not dissolve but remain suspended throughout the bulk of the medium. Particles of a suspension are visible to the naked eye.
what are the properties of suspension ?
• Suspension is a heterogeneous
mixture.
• The particles of a suspension can be seen
by the naked eye.
• The particles of a suspension scatter a
beam of light passing through it and
make its path visible.
• The solute particles settle down when a
suspension is left undisturbed, that is,
a suspension is unstable. They can be
separated from the mixture by the
process of filtration. When the particles
settle down, the suspension breaks and
it does not scatter light any more.
what are the properties of a colloid ?
Properties of a colloid • A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture. • The size of particles of a colloid is too small to be individually seen by naked eyes. • Colloids are big enough to scatter a beam of light passing through it and make its path visible. • They do not settle down when left undisturbed, that is, a colloid is quite stable. • They cannot be separated from the mixture by the process of filtration. But, a special technique of separation known as centrifugation (perform activity 2.5), can be used to separate the colloidal particles
name the various ways heterogeneous mixtures can be separated?
Heterogeneous mixtures can be separated
into their respective constituents by simple
physical methods like handpicking, sieving,
filtration that we use in our day-to-day life.
Sometimes special techniques have to be used
for the separation of the components of a
mixture.
explain how centrifugation works
The principle
is that the denser particles are forced to the
bottom and the lighter particles stay at the
top when spun rapidly.
Give two examples of APPLICATIONS of centrifugation in real life
Applications • Used in diagnostic laboratories for blood and urine tests. • Used in dairies and home to separate butter from cream. • Used in washing machines to squeeze out water from wet clothes
how do immiscible liquids work?
The principle is that immiscible liquids
separate out in layers depending on their
densities.
what is chromatography?
This process of separation of components
of a mixture is known as chromatography.
Kroma in Greek means colour. This technique
was first used for separation of colours, so
this name was given. Chromatography is the
technique used for separation of those solutes
that dissolve in the same solvent.
give 2 applications if immiscible liquids
Applications • To separate mixture of oil and water. • In the extraction of iron from its ore, the lighter slag is removed from the top by this method to leave the molten iron at the bottom in the furnace.
give 2 real life examples of chromatography
Applications To separate • colours in a dye • pigments from natural colours • drugs from blood.
