A mixture can be separated by
separated by physical
methods, e.g. filtration,
distillation or
chromatography.
A compound can only be separated through
chemical reactions or by
using electricity.
The chemical properties of a
mixture are
the same as those of its components.
No chemical reaction takes
place when a
mixture is formed — usually there is
little or no energy change.
The physical and chemical
properties of a compound
are
different from those of
the elements in the compound.
A chemical reaction takes place when a
compound is formed — usually there is an energy change
The components of a mixture
can be mixed in
any proportion.
The elements in a compound
are always combined in a
fixed proportion (by mass).
Changes can be classified as
physical changes or chemical changes
Properties of physical changes (4 properties)
-No new substances are
formed
-No or little heat is taken in or
given out
-Properties of substance
remain the same
-Reversible
Properties of Chemical changes (4 properties)
-One or more new substances
are formed (products)
-Heat and/or light energy may
be taken in or given out
-Properties of products are
different from starting
reactants
-Usually not easily reversible
What is combustion
Combustion is a chemical reaction in which a
substance is heated in the presence of oxygen to
form one or more new substances.
What is the law of conservation
The law of conservation of mass states that mass is always
conserved during a chemical reaction.
Complete
combustion occurs
when there is an
abundant supply of
oxygen.
What is thermal decomposition
Thermal decomposition is a
process in which a substance
is broken down into two or
more simpler substances upon
heating.
During a reaction, mass cannot be…
created or destroyed
What is usually given out during combustion
a lot of Heat and light energy
What does oxidation refer to
Oxidation refers to a chemical change in which a
substance gains oxygen.
Oxidation also occurs during
combustion and cellular respiration
Organic acids are
weak acids
What are two examples of an oxidation process
rusting and corrosion
Mineral acids are
strong acids
Acids have a
SOUR taste
Acids are
corrosive
