MIXING AND SEPARATING

MIXTURES.
MIXTURES:TYPES OF MIXTURES
BACKGROUND

• In our everyday life we use many forms of


mixtures. A mixture contains more than one sort
of material. A glass of lemonade, for example, is
a mixture containing several things including
water and sugar. The air we breathe is a mixture
of several different gases.
WHAT IS A MIXTURES.

• A mixture is a material made up of two or more


different substances which are physically combined. A
mixture is the physical combination of two or more
substances in which the identities are retained and
are mixed in the form of solutions, suspensions and
colloids.
KEY TERMS.
• (1) Solution: This is a homogeneous (uniform) mixture of two or more substances that may be gases,
liquids or solids. In an aqueous solution water is the solvent.

• (2) Solute: This is a substance that dissolves in a solvent to form a solution. A solute is the substance
that is present in the lesser amount in a solution and may be a gas, liquid or solid.

• (3) Solvent: This is a substance, usually a liquid, that is capable of dissolving another substance to
form a solution. It is present in the larger amount in a solution and may be a gas, liquid or solid.

• (4) Soluble: A substance that can dissolve in a solvent to form a solution.

• (5) Insoluble: A substance that cannot dissolve in a solvent.

• (6) Dissolve: The act of being broken down into particles of molecular form.
The Properties of Solutions

• A solution is therefore:
• (1) Clear
• (2) Transparent
• (3) Homogeneous
• (4) Non-settling.
When a solute dissolves in
a solvent several physical
properties of the solvent
changes. The boiling point
goes up and the melting
point comes down with
increasing concentration
of the solute.
The Types of Solutions

• (1) An unsaturated solution: This solution can dissolve more of the solute at a stated temperature.

• (2) A saturated solution: In this type of solution the concentration of the dissolved particles
remains unchanged in the presence of undissolved solute at the bottom of the container at a stated
temperature.

• A cold saturated solution contains less of a given solute than a hot saturated one. When a hot
saturated solution cools the excess solute is gradually expelled from the solution as crystals.

• (3) A supersaturated solution: This occurs when the solvent of a saturated solution evaporates,
leaving the solution with more dissolved solute than is required for saturation. This unstable
condition returns to stability when a particle of solute is added to the supersaturated solution or
by striking the container. These actions result in a rapid deposition of crystals.
Solutions
It is common to think of a solution in
terms of a solid dissolved in a liquid, e.g.,
salt dissolved in water. However, other
combinations of the three states of matter
also constitute a solution, providing the
resultant mixture is homogeneous. In
our everyday life, we use many forms of
solutions: whether it is a cup of coffee for
breakfast or soap solution for washing. We
use several types of solutions daily.
Some examples of
mixtures
(homogeneous and
heterogeneous)
made from solids,
liquids and gases.
