3.Characteristic properties
A characteristic property is a physical or chemical property that we can use to identify a substance.
Characteristic properties
The temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid
The temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas
Mass and volume are not characteristic properties. A small piece of gold has less mass and less volume than a large piece of gold. They depend on the amount of substance.
Boiling point
Melting point
Density
The density is the relationship between the mass of an object and its volume
Susana Morales Bernal
4.Classification of matter
We can classify matter, in two categories: pure substances and mixtures
Pure substance: only one substance, its characteristic properties do not change, in the same conditions of temperature and pressure
The following systems are pure substances
rock salt
sugar
mercury
copper sulphate
sulphur
pyrite
gold
Susana Morales Bernal
5.Types of pure substances
There are two types of pure substances: simple substances and compounds
We can differentiate them, watching their behavior when exposed to heat or electricity.
Compounds are those substances that decompose into simpler pure substances by means of heating or electrolysis.
Simple substances are those which do not decompose into simpler pure substances by means of heating or electrolysis.
Thus water is a compound because it is decomposed by electricity into two elements, hydrogen and oxygen. Rock salt, pyrite, sugar and copper sulphate are compounds too.
Thus oxygen is a simple substance because it does not decompose by means of heating or electrolysis. Gold, mercury and sulphur are simple substances too.
Susana Morales Bernal
6.Simple substances have equal molecules with only one type of atoms
Compounds have equal molecules with two or more types of atoms
Gas monoatomic
Liquid monoatomic
Gas diatomic
Liquid diatomic
Solid monoatomic
From the point of view of their structure, the pure substances have only one type of molecules.
Solid diatomic
Solid diatomic
Liquid diatomic
Gas diatomic

7.Although only 92 elements occur naturally on earth, they can combine to produce an unlimited number of compounds.
ELEMENTS
Element is the representation of each type of atom, it is not the same as simple substance. An element has not properties, a simple substance has them.
Susana Morales Bernal
8.Mixture: two or more substances, its characteristic properties change, depending on the type of substances is formed by and on the amount of each substance
copper sulphate and water
The following systems are mixtures
dissolutions
granite
oil and water
copper sulphate and water
plumb iodide and
water
Susana Morales Bernal
9.Homogeneous: mixtures which have the same properties throughout the mixture. We can call this type of mixture, dissolution.
For example:
Sugar dissolved in water
Salt dissolved in water
Copper sulphate dissolved in water
Some type of metal alloy like the cromium-molybdenum used in many bike
frames
Heterogeneous: mixtures which have different properties throughout the mixture.
For example:
Sand mixed with water
Oil mixed with water
Granite
Plumb iodide and water
There are two types of mixtures: homogeneous and heterogeneous.
Types of mixtures
Susana Morales Bernal
10.From the point of view of their structure, the mixtures have two or more types of molecules.
Homogeneous mixture: it has different molecules distributed uniformly
Heterogeneous mixture: it has different molecules that are not distributed uniformly
Solid dissolution
Liquid dissolution
Gaseous dissolution
Heterogeneous mixture
of one solid and one gas
Heterogeneous mixture
of two liquids
Heterogeneous mixture of one solid and one liquid
Structure of mixtures
Susana Morales Bernal
11.Homogeneous mixtures
Homogeneous mixture: is that has the same properties at all its points
A dissolution (solution) is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances.
Solute is the substance that is in smaller proportion, unless it is water in which case we consider it the dissolvent.
When we mix two substances and we do not obtain a solution, we say that these substances are insoluble.
When we mix two substances and we obtain a solution, we say that these substances are soluble. A solute is dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent.
Susana Morales Bernal
12.Process of solution
When a dissolution of a solid in a liquid takes place, the molecules of the liquid bang to the solid, pulling molecules away and separating them. Finally, the molecules of the solid remain surrounded by molecules of the liquid and distributed uniformly.
Before dissolving
After dissolving
Susana Morales Bernal
13.Methods of separation of substances in mixtures
The main techniques of separation of the substances that integrate the heterogeneous mixtures are: decantation, filtration and magnetic separation
The main techniques of separation of the substances that integrate the homogeneous mixtures are: heating to dryness, crystallisation and distillation
Susana Morales Bernal
14.After this, we open the funnel tap and the liquid at the bottom of the funnel is transferred into a container. We do not collect the part of liquid that can contain a small part of the other liquid. After this, we collect the next layer in another container, obtaining two separate liquids.
DECANTATION
We use this methode to separate two or more inmiscible liquids with different densities.
We put the mixture into a separating funnel and we allow it to stand for some time. This separates the liquids into layers. The liquid with the lowest density floats on the top and the one with higher density lies below it.
Susana Morales Bernal
15.Then, we pour the mixture slowly into a container; through the funnel. We can see the particles of solid on the filter paper. We call residue to the solid particles and we call filtrate to the clear liquid obtained.
FILTRATION
We use this method to separate an insoluble solid from a liquid. We take a filter paper and fix it to a funnel.
Susana Morales Bernal
16.MAGNETIC SEPARATION
We use this methode to separate magnetic solids from non magnetic solids.
Magnet
Sulfur and iron filings
Clock glass
Iron filings are very small pieces of iron that look like a light powder.
Susana Morales Bernal
17.HEATING TO DRYNESS
We use this method to separate soluble solids from solutions. We heat the solution in an evaporating dish until the solvent vaporizes.
When we heat:
We waste energy
Crystals are smaller
The process is faster
In this process we only obtain the solute, not the solvent.
Susana Morales Bernal
18.CRYSTALLISATION
We use this method to separate soluble solids from solutions. In this process we must wait for the liquid to evaporate at room temperature without heating it and the solid crystallizes.
In the crystallisation:
We do not waste energy
Crystals are greater
The process is slower
In this process we only obtain the solute, not the solvent.
Susana Morales Bernal
19.We use this method to obtain both the solute and the solvent from a solution. The solute can be a soluble solid or a liquid. We take the solution in a distillation flask and we heat it so that the solvent slowly starts to vaporize. We connect the distillation flask to a condenser tube which has a lower tube for the inlet of cool water and an upper tube for the outlet of water. The circulation of cold water in the condenser helps to cool the gases from the solution and they form the distillate.
DISTILLATION
We collect the distillate (the solvent) in a separate container. The remaining residue, in the distillation flask, is the solute.
In this process we obtain the solute and the solvent.

Why does all the water change colour, although you do not shake with a teaspoon, and not only the part nearest where you put the solid?
A classmate says that the water colours because the molecules of the solid are of pink colour and they mix with those of water that do not have colour. Do you agree? Justify your answer.
A classmate says that if you want to return the water to its original transparent state, you can filter the mixture. Do you agree? Explain your answer.
