What Are Elements?
Many materials can be broken down into simpler
materials. For example, some rocks contain copper. When
they are heated in a large furnace, the copper separates
from the rest of the rock. Another example is breaking
down water by passing electricity through it. The electric
current causes hydrogen gas and oxygen gas to form.
Some materials cannot be separated or broken down
into other materials. An element is a pure substance that
cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical
or physical methods. This is how elements are different
from all other materials.
A pure substance is a material in which all the basic
particles are the same. For example, table salt contains
particles of sodium chloride. Table salt from anywhere is
the same. All pure substances, except for elements, can
be broken down into simpler substances.
The basic particles of an element are called atoms.
Copper is an example of an element. All of the atoms in
a piece of pure copper are alike. As shown in the figure
below, iron is also an element.
The iron atoms in the
meteorite from space
are the same as the
iron atoms in a steel
spoon. There are also
iron atoms in the cereal,
in the boy’s braces, and
even in his blood.

How Can Elements Be Classified?
Elements can be classified based on their properties.
There are two types of properties, chemical and physical.
Physical properties include hardness, melting point,
and density. Chemical properties include reactivity
and flammability.
We can use properties to tell elements apart. For
example, the elements helium and krypton are both color-
less, odorless, unreactive gases. However, the elements
have different densities (mass per unit volume). Helium
is less dense than air, so a helium balloon floats upward.
Krypton is denser than air. A krypton-filled balloon, on
the other hand, will sink to the floor.
Cobalt
The Unique Properties of Elements
• Melting point: 1,495°C
• Density: 8.9 g/cm3
• Conducts electricity
and heat
• Reactivity: unreactive
with oxygen in
the air
Iron
• Melting point: 1,535°C
• Density: 7.9 g/cm3
• Conducts electricity
and heat
• Reactivity: reacts by
combining with oxygen
in the air to form rust.
Nickel
• Melting point: 1,455°C
• Density: 8.9 g/cm3
• Conducts electricity
and heat
• Reactivity: unreactive
with oxygen in
the air
The figure above shows some of the properties of
three different elements. The physical properties shown
are melting point, electrical and thermal conductivities,
and density. Each element has other physical properties,
including color, hardness, and texture. The figure also
includes a chemical property: the reactivity of the element
with oxygen in the air.
If you had a piece of metal, you could use these properties
to determine which element it is. Iron has different physi-
cal and chemical properties than the other two elements.
The density of iron is much less than cobalt or nickel, and it
reacts with oxygen in the air.
We can also use properties to tell nickel and cobalt
apart. They have the same density and reactivity, but the
melting points of these two elements differ by 40°C. This
property can be used to tell them apart.

How Can Elements Be Sorted?
Think about all the different types of dogs that you have
seen. Dogs can be classified based on different properties.
These include their size, the shape of the ears, or the length of
their coat. You can often determine a dog’s breed just with a
quick glance. The figure below shows three kinds of terriers.
They are not exactly alike, but they share certain features.
Even though these dogs are different breeds, they have enough in
common to be classified as terriers.
The elements can be classified based on properties, just
like the dogs in the image. There are three major categories
of elements: metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. The elements
iron, cobalt, and nickel are all metals. They are not exactly
alike, but they have similar properties.
Metals tend to be shiny solids (except mercury, which
is a shiny liquid). Metals conduct electric current and
heat well. Nonmetals do not conduct heat or electric
current very well. Many nonmetals are gases. The solid
nonmetals have a dull appearance. Metalloids have some of
the properties of metals and some of the properties of
nonmetals. Metalloids are important in electronics because
their electrical conductivity can vary with conditions.

these questions:
• What are compounds?

What Are Compounds?
Look around the classroom. Most of the things you see
are not made of just one element. Instead, they are made
of elements combined with other elements. A compound
is a pure substance composed of two or more elements
that are joined by chemical bonds. The figure below
shows some compounds that you might find in your
kitchen and what elements make up the compounds.
Familiar Compounds
Compound Elements in the compound
Table salt sodium and chlorine
Water hydrogen and oxygen
Sugar hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen
Carbon dioxide carbon and oxygen
Baking soda sodium, hydrogen, carbon, and
oxygen
RATIO OF ELEMENTS IN A COMPOUND
Elements join in a specific ratio according to their
masses to form a compound. For example, in 18 g of
water, there are 2 g of hydrogen and 16 g of oxygen. The
mass ratio of oxygen to hydrogen is
2 g____
16 g
or 1__
8
. The mass
ratio is written as 1 to 8 or 1:8. Every sample of water has
a 1:8 mass ratio of hydrogen to oxygen. What happens
if a compound has a different mass ratio of hydrogen to
water? The compound cannot be water.
Sometimes the same two elements can join in different
ratios. However, two different compounds are formed.
For example, carbon and oxygen can join to form carbon
monoxide, CO, and can also form carbon dioxide, CO2
.
Carbon dioxide forms when there is lots of oxygen present.

What Properties Do Compounds Have?
Compounds, just like elements, have physical and
chemical properties. Some physical properties of
compounds are melting point, boiling point, density,
and color. The table below shows some of the physical
properties of three colorless liquids. These properties
can be used to tell them apart, even though the three
compounds look alike in a container.

Odor Density (g/mL)
Chloroform 64 61 strong 1.48
Ethanol 114 75 mild 0.79
Water 0 100 none 1.00
Chemical properties can also be used to identify
compounds. Compounds may change when they are
exposed to other chemicals or to heat or light. These
are chemical properties. The table below shows how the
chemical properties of three common white solids differ.
Chemical Properties
Reacts with acid Flammable
Sodium chloride (salt) no no
Sucrose (sugar) no yes
Sodium bicarbonate
(baking soda)
yes no
The properties of a compound differ from those of its
elements. Sodium chloride is made of two very reactive
and toxic elements—sodium and chlorine. Sodium is a
metal that reacts violently with water and can cause
damage if it touches skin. Chlorine is a poisonous gas.
The combination of the two elements makes sodium
chloride. Sodium chloride, or table salt, is safe to eat.

How Can Compounds Be Broken Down?
Some compounds can be broken down into their elements
by applying heat or using electricity. In the figure below,
mercury oxide breaks down to form mercury and oxygen.
When mercury oxide is
heated, it undergoes a
chemical change in which it
separates into the elements
mercury and oxygen.
What Are Some Important Compounds?
You are surrounded by compounds. Compounds make
up the food you eat, the school supplies you use, and the
clothes you wear.
COMPOUNDS IN INDUSTRY
Aluminum is an element used in making cans and
airplanes. However, aluminum is not found in nature.
Aluminum is produced by breaking down the compound
aluminum oxide that is found in nature.
Ammonia is another important compound used in
industry. It is used to make fertilizers. Ammonia is made
by combining nitrogen and hydrogen.
COMPOUNDS IN NATURE
Proteins are compounds found in all living things. The
element nitrogen is needed to make proteins. Plants get
the nitrogen they need from the soil. Animals get the
nitrogen they need by eating plants or other animals that
eat plants. The proteins in food are broken down as an
animal digests the food. The simpler compounds formed
are used by the animal’s cells to make the proteins
needed by the animal.
Another compound that is important for life is carbon
dioxide. You exhale carbon dioxide that was made in
your body. Plants take in carbon dioxide, which is used in
photosynthesis. Plants use photosynthesis to make com-
pounds called carbohydrates. These carbohydrates can
then be broken down for energy by plants and animals.

these questions:

What Are the Properties of Mixtures?
The figure below shows a familiar mixture—a pizza.
When you pick up a piece of pizza, you can see different
parts of it that have different properties. A mixture is
a combination of two or more substances that are not
chemically combined.
You can see each topping
on this mixture, which is
better known as a pizza.
Chemicals can form mixtures, but no chemical change
happens when a mixture is made. That means that each
chemical keeps its original identity. The pepperoni and
olives on the pizza don’t change when they are mixed.
Making a mixture is a physical change.
Sometimes, you can see the components of the mix-
ture. For example, if you mix sugar and sand together,
you can see the different crystals in the mixture. In other
mixtures, such as saltwater, you cannot see the individual
parts. Even so, the salt and the water are not changed by
making the mixture.
Because the components of a mixture are not changed,
they can often be separated easily. The olives and the pep-
peroni can easily be picked off the pizza. Iron particles can
be pulled out of a mixture with sand using a magnet.
Other mixtures are not separated so easily. Salt can’t
simply be picked out of saltwater. Salt can be separated
from the water by letting the water evaporate. Heating
the saltwater in a container speeds up the process.

How Can Mixtures Be Separated?
The figure below shows three methods of separating
the parts of a mixture.
Distillation is the process that separates a mix-
ture based on boiling points. Water in this mixture
evaporates and then condenses as pure water.
Blood is separated into its parts by a machine
called a centrifuge. In the test tube of blood
above, a layer of plasma rests atop a layer of red
blood cells. A centrifuge separates mixtures by
the densities of the components.
A magnet can be used to
separate a mixture of the
elements iron and aluminum.
Iron is attracted to the magnet,
but the aluminum is not.
Another method of separating the parts of a mixture is
to dissolve one of the substances in water. Then you filter
the mixture and evaporate the water. This is shown in a
diagram called a flow chart.
Dissolving In the
first step, water is
added, and the mix-
ture is stirred. Salt
dissolves in water.
Sulfur does not.
Filtering In the
second step, the
mixture is poured
through a filter.
The filter traps the
solid sulfur.
Evaporating In
the third step, the
water is evaporated.
The salt is left in the
evaporating dish on
the hot plate.

Do Mixtures Have Fixed Ratios?
A compound is made of elements in a fixed, or
specified, ratio. For example, water is always two parts
hydrogen and one part oxygen.
A mixture, however, does not have a fixed ratio of
components. A mixture of salt and water can have a little
salt or a lot of salt. Either way, you make a mixture. The
figure below compares mixtures and compounds.

What Is a Solution?
Saltwater is an example of a solution. A solution is a
homogeneous mixture. This means that a solution appears
to be a single substance. The particles of the substances
in a solution are evenly spread out. The appearance and
properties are the same throughout the solution.
Particles of substances separate and spread evenly
throughout a mixture. This process is known as dissolving.
In a solution, the component that is present in the largest
amount is called the solvent. Substances present in a
solution in smaller amounts are called solutes.
WATER AS A SOLVENT
Water is a very common solvent. In a saltwater solu-
tion, water is the solvent and salt is the solute. Water is
the solvent of many of the solutions that you come across
in daily life. In fact, your body contains many solutions
in water; blood plasma, saliva, and tears are all solutions.
Reactions in cells take place in water solutions. So many
different substances dissolve in water that it is sometimes
called the “universal solvent.”

TYPES OF SOLUTIONS
Water is not the only solvent, though. Many other liq-
uids dissolve substances, some of which do not dissolve
in water. Hydrocarbon solvents, such as turpentine, are
used to dissolve grease and other substances that don’t
dissolve in water.
In fact, solvents do not have to be liquids. Gases, or
even solids, are able to become solvents by dissolving
other substances. The air around you is a solution of
oxygen and other gases in nitrogen. Many familiar metals
are alloys. Alloys, such as bronze, are solid solutions in
which a metal, copper, is the solvent. Other metal or non-
metal elements are solutes.
The table below shows some examples of solutions.
In a solution, the particles of the components are evenly
spread throughout the solution.
Examples of Solutions in Various States of Matter
State of matter Example
Gas in a gas dry air (oxygen in nitrogen)
Gas in a liquid carbonated water (carbon dioxide in water)
Liquid in a liquid antifreeze (an alcohol in water)
Solid in a liquid saltwater (salt in water)
Solid in a solid brass (zinc in copper)
How Much Solute Can Be Added to a Solvent?
The amount of solute in a given amount of solvent is
called the concentration. The concentration of a solution
gives the mass of solute in a volume of solution. The units
of concentration are grams of solute per milliliter of solvent
(g/mL). As more solute is added, the concentration of the
solution increases.
Solutions are often described as being concentrated or
dilute. A dilute solution is one that has a small amount of
solute dissolved in the solvent. A concentrated solution
has more solute in solution. These terms do not tell you
the actual concentration of the solution, but rather a rela-
tive concentration.
The dilute solution (left)
contains less solute than the
concentrated solution (right).

SOLUBILITY
Is there a limit to the amount of solute that can be
added to a solution? The answer is yes. Think about how
you add sugar to lemonade. As you add some sugar to
the lemonade and stir it, the sugar dissolves. If you add
more sugar, you make a more concentrated solution.
Eventually, no matter how much you stir, some sugar
remains as a solid at the bottom of the glass.
Suppose you want find the maximum amount of sugar that
you could add to the lemonade. You need to know the solubil-
ity of sugar in water. Solubility is how much solute dissolves
in a certain amount of solvent at a certain temperature.
For most solids, the solubility of the solid in water
increases as temperature rises. This is shown on the graph
below as a line that slopes upward to the right. However,
there are some exceptions to this rule. Notice that the line for
cerium sulfate slopes downward to the right. This means that
as temperature increases, cerium sulfate gets less soluble.

DISSOLVING GASES IN LIQUIDS
Most solids are more soluble in liquids at higher tem-
peratures. However, gas becomes less soluble in liquids
as the temperature is raised. A soft drink goes flat faster
when warm than when cool. The gas that is dissolved in
the soft drink cannot stay dissolved when the temperature
increases. Therefore, the gas escapes, and the soft drink
becomes “flat”.
DISSOLVING SOLIDS FASTER IN LIQUIDS
Several things affect how fast a solid will dissolve.
Look at the figure below to see three ways to make a solid
dissolve faster. You will enjoy a glass of lemonade sooner
if you stir sugar into the lemonade before adding ice.
Mixing by stirring or shaking
causes the solute particles to
separate from one another and
spread out more quickly among
the solvent particles.
Heating causes particles to
move more quickly. The sol-
vent particles can separate the
solute particles and spread
them out more quickly.
Crushing the solute increases
the amount of contact it has
with the solvent. The particles of
the crushed solute mix with the
solvent more quickly.

What Are Suspensions?
Have you ever shaken a snow globe? If so, you have
seen the solid snow particles mix with the water, as shown
in the figure below. When you stop shaking the globe, the
snow settles to the bottom. This mixture is called a sus-
pension. A suspension is a mixture in which the particles
of a material are large enough to settle out.
The particles in a suspension are large enough to
scatter or block light. The particles are too large to stay
mixed without being shaken or stirred.
A suspension can be separated by passing it through a
filter. The solid particles get trapped by the filter. The liquid
or gas part of the suspension passes through the filter.
What Are Colloids?
Some mixtures have properties between those of solu-
tions and suspensions. A colloid is a mixture in which
the particles are spread throughout but are not large
enough to settle out. The particles of a colloid are not as
small as those of a solution. However, they are smaller
than those of a suspension. You might be surprised at the
number of colloids you see each day. Milk, mayonnaise,
gelatin, and whipped cream are all colloids.
The particles of a colloid are large enough to scatter
light. An example of this is the headlights of a car that
is traveling through fog. However, a colloid cannot be
separated by a filter. The particles of the colloid are small
enough to pass through the filter.

colloids—fruity gelatin
and whipped cream.

ticles that will mix with the

Interactive textbook ch. 4 elements, compounds & mixtures

  • 1. Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. Interactive Textbook 55 Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures SECTION 1 Elements Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures Name Class Date CHAPTER 4 After you read this section, you should be able to answer these questions: • What is an element? • How do elements differ from other materials? • How are elements classified? What Are Elements? Many materials can be broken down into simpler materials. For example, some rocks contain copper. When they are heated in a large furnace, the copper separates from the rest of the rock. Another example is breaking down water by passing electricity through it. The electric current causes hydrogen gas and oxygen gas to form. Some materials cannot be separated or broken down into other materials. An element is a pure substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical or physical methods. This is how elements are different from all other materials. A pure substance is a material in which all the basic particles are the same. For example, table salt contains particles of sodium chloride. Table salt from anywhere is the same. All pure substances, except for elements, can be broken down into simpler substances. The basic particles of an element are called atoms. Copper is an example of an element. All of the atoms in a piece of pure copper are alike. As shown in the figure below, iron is also an element. The iron atoms in the meteorite from space are the same as the iron atoms in a steel spoon. There are also iron atoms in the cereal, in the boy’s braces, and even in his blood.

Interactive Textbook 56 Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures SECTION 1 Name Class Date Elements continued How Can Elements Be Classified? Elements can be classified based on their properties. There are two types of properties, chemical and physical. Physical properties include hardness, melting point, and density. Chemical properties include reactivity and flammability. We can use properties to tell elements apart. For example, the elements helium and krypton are both color- less, odorless, unreactive gases. However, the elements have different densities (mass per unit volume). Helium is less dense than air, so a helium balloon floats upward. Krypton is denser than air. A krypton-filled balloon, on the other hand, will sink to the floor. Cobalt The Unique Properties of Elements • Melting point: 1,495°C • Density: 8.9 g/cm3 • Conducts electricity and heat • Reactivity: unreactive with oxygen in the air Iron • Melting point: 1,535°C • Density: 7.9 g/cm3 • Conducts electricity and heat • Reactivity: reacts by combining with oxygen in the air to form rust. Nickel • Melting point: 1,455°C • Density: 8.9 g/cm3 • Conducts electricity and heat • Reactivity: unreactive with oxygen in the air The figure above shows some of the properties of three different elements. The physical properties shown are melting point, electrical and thermal conductivities, and density. Each element has other physical properties, including color, hardness, and texture. The figure also includes a chemical property: the reactivity of the element with oxygen in the air. If you had a piece of metal, you could use these properties to determine which element it is. Iron has different physi- cal and chemical properties than the other two elements. The density of iron is much less than cobalt or nickel, and it reacts with oxygen in the air. We can also use properties to tell nickel and cobalt apart. They have the same density and reactivity, but the melting points of these two elements differ by 40°C. This property can be used to tell them apart. STANDARDS CHECK PS 1a A substance has characteristic properties, such as density, a boiling point, and solubility, all of which are inde- pendent of the amount of the sample. A mixture of substances often can be separated into the original substances using one or more of the characteristic properties. 3.

Think about all the different types of dogs that you have seen. Dogs can be classified based on different properties. These include their size, the shape of the ears, or the length of their coat. You can often determine a dog’s breed just with a quick glance. The figure below shows three kinds of terriers. They are not exactly alike, but they share certain features. Even though these dogs are different breeds, they have enough in common to be classified as terriers. The elements can be classified based on properties, just like the dogs in the image. There are three major categories of elements: metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. The elements iron, cobalt, and nickel are all metals. They are not exactly alike, but they have similar properties. Metals tend to be shiny solids (except mercury, which is a shiny liquid). Metals conduct electric current and heat well. Nonmetals do not conduct heat or electric current very well. Many nonmetals are gases. The solid nonmetals have a dull appearance. Metalloids have some of the properties of metals and some of the properties of nonmetals. Metalloids are important in electronics because their electrical conductivity can vary with conditions.

What Are Compounds? Look around the classroom. Most of the things you see are not made of just one element. Instead, they are made of elements combined with other elements. A compound is a pure substance composed of two or more elements that are joined by chemical bonds. The figure below shows some compounds that you might find in your kitchen and what elements make up the compounds. Familiar Compounds Compound Elements in the compound Table salt sodium and chlorine Water hydrogen and oxygen Sugar hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen Carbon dioxide carbon and oxygen Baking soda sodium, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen RATIO OF ELEMENTS IN A COMPOUND Elements join in a specific ratio according to their masses to form a compound. For example, in 18 g of water, there are 2 g of hydrogen and 16 g of oxygen. The mass ratio of oxygen to hydrogen is 2 g____ 16 g or 1__ 8 . The mass ratio is written as 1 to 8 or 1:8. Every sample of water has a 1:8 mass ratio of hydrogen to oxygen. What happens if a compound has a different mass ratio of hydrogen to water? The compound cannot be water. Sometimes the same two elements can join in different ratios. However, two different compounds are formed. For example, carbon and oxygen can join to form carbon monoxide, CO, and can also form carbon dioxide, CO2 . Carbon dioxide forms when there is lots of oxygen present.

Compounds, just like elements, have physical and chemical properties. Some physical properties of compounds are melting point, boiling point, density, and color. The table below shows some of the physical properties of three colorless liquids. These properties can be used to tell them apart, even though the three compounds look alike in a container.

Compounds may change when they are exposed to other chemicals or to heat or light. These are chemical properties. The table below shows how the chemical properties of three common white solids differ. Chemical Properties Reacts with acid Flammable Sodium chloride (salt) no no Sucrose (sugar) no yes Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) yes no The properties of a compound differ from those of its elements. Sodium chloride is made of two very reactive and toxic elements—sodium and chlorine. Sodium is a metal that reacts violently with water and can cause damage if it touches skin. Chlorine is a poisonous gas. The combination of the two elements makes sodium chloride. Sodium chloride, or table salt, is safe to eat. CriticalThinking 3.

Some compounds can be broken down into their elements by applying heat or using electricity. In the figure below, mercury oxide breaks down to form mercury and oxygen. When mercury oxide is heated, it undergoes a chemical change in which it separates into the elements mercury and oxygen. What Are Some Important Compounds? You are surrounded by compounds. Compounds make up the food you eat, the school supplies you use, and the clothes you wear. COMPOUNDS IN INDUSTRY Aluminum is an element used in making cans and airplanes. However, aluminum is not found in nature. Aluminum is produced by breaking down the compound aluminum oxide that is found in nature. Ammonia is another important compound used in industry. It is used to make fertilizers. Ammonia is made by combining nitrogen and hydrogen. COMPOUNDS IN NATURE Proteins are compounds found in all living things. The element nitrogen is needed to make proteins. Plants get the nitrogen they need from the soil. Animals get the nitrogen they need by eating plants or other animals that eat plants. The proteins in food are broken down as an animal digests the food. The simpler compounds formed are used by the animal’s cells to make the proteins needed by the animal. Another compound that is important for life is carbon dioxide. You exhale carbon dioxide that was made in your body. Plants take in carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. Plants use photosynthesis to make com- pounds called carbohydrates. These carbohydrates can then be broken down for energy by plants and animals. TAKE A LOOK 6.

STANDARDS CHECK PS 1c Chemical elements do not break down during normal laboratory reactions involving such treatments as heating, exposure to electric current, or reaction with acids.

What Are the Properties of Mixtures? The figure below shows a familiar mixture—a pizza. When you pick up a piece of pizza, you can see different parts of it that have different properties. A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined. You can see each topping on this mixture, which is better known as a pizza. Chemicals can form mixtures, but no chemical change happens when a mixture is made. That means that each chemical keeps its original identity. The pepperoni and olives on the pizza don’t change when they are mixed. Making a mixture is a physical change. Sometimes, you can see the components of the mix- ture. For example, if you mix sugar and sand together, you can see the different crystals in the mixture. In other mixtures, such as saltwater, you cannot see the individual parts. Even so, the salt and the water are not changed by making the mixture. Because the components of a mixture are not changed, they can often be separated easily. The olives and the pep- peroni can easily be picked off the pizza. Iron particles can be pulled out of a mixture with sand using a magnet. Other mixtures are not separated so easily. Salt can’t simply be picked out of saltwater. Salt can be separated from the water by letting the water evaporate. Heating the saltwater in a container speeds up the process.

Interactive Textbook 64 Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures SECTION 3 Name Class Date Mixtures continued How Can Mixtures Be Separated? The figure below shows three methods of separating the parts of a mixture. Distillation is the process that separates a mix- ture based on boiling points. Water in this mixture evaporates and then condenses as pure water. Blood is separated into its parts by a machine called a centrifuge. In the test tube of blood above, a layer of plasma rests atop a layer of red blood cells. A centrifuge separates mixtures by the densities of the components. A magnet can be used to separate a mixture of the elements iron and aluminum. Iron is attracted to the magnet, but the aluminum is not. Another method of separating the parts of a mixture is to dissolve one of the substances in water. Then you filter the mixture and evaporate the water. This is shown in a diagram called a flow chart. Dissolving In the first step, water is added, and the mix- ture is stirred. Salt dissolves in water. Sulfur does not. Filtering In the second step, the mixture is poured through a filter. The filter traps the solid sulfur. Evaporating In the third step, the water is evaporated. The salt is left in the evaporating dish on the hot plate. TAKE A LOOK 3.

Interactive Textbook 65 Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures SECTION 3 Name Class Date Mixtures continued Do Mixtures Have Fixed Ratios? A compound is made of elements in a fixed, or specified, ratio. For example, water is always two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. A mixture, however, does not have a fixed ratio of components. A mixture of salt and water can have a little salt or a lot of salt. Either way, you make a mixture. The figure below compares mixtures and compounds. Mixtures and Compounds Mixtures Compounds Made of elements, compounds, or both Made of elements No change in original properties of the components Change in original properties of the components Heat or electricity not required for separating components Heat or electricity required for separating components Made using any ratio of components Made using a fixed ratio of components What Is a Solution? Saltwater is an example of a solution. A solution is a homogeneous mixture. This means that a solution appears to be a single substance. The particles of the substances in a solution are evenly spread out. The appearance and properties are the same throughout the solution. Particles of substances separate and spread evenly throughout a mixture. This process is known as dissolving. In a solution, the component that is present in the largest amount is called the solvent. Substances present in a solution in smaller amounts are called solutes. WATER AS A SOLVENT Water is a very common solvent. In a saltwater solu- tion, water is the solvent and salt is the solute. Water is the solvent of many of the solutions that you come across in daily life. In fact, your body contains many solutions in water; blood plasma, saliva, and tears are all solutions. Reactions in cells take place in water solutions. So many different substances dissolve in water that it is sometimes called the “universal solvent.” READING CHECK 6.

Interactive Textbook 66 Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures SECTION 3 Name Class Date Mixtures continued TYPES OF SOLUTIONS Water is not the only solvent, though. Many other liq- uids dissolve substances, some of which do not dissolve in water. Hydrocarbon solvents, such as turpentine, are used to dissolve grease and other substances that don’t dissolve in water. In fact, solvents do not have to be liquids. Gases, or even solids, are able to become solvents by dissolving other substances. The air around you is a solution of oxygen and other gases in nitrogen. Many familiar metals are alloys. Alloys, such as bronze, are solid solutions in which a metal, copper, is the solvent. Other metal or non- metal elements are solutes. The table below shows some examples of solutions. In a solution, the particles of the components are evenly spread throughout the solution. Examples of Solutions in Various States of Matter State of matter Example Gas in a gas dry air (oxygen in nitrogen) Gas in a liquid carbonated water (carbon dioxide in water) Liquid in a liquid antifreeze (an alcohol in water) Solid in a liquid saltwater (salt in water) Solid in a solid brass (zinc in copper) How Much Solute Can Be Added to a Solvent? The amount of solute in a given amount of solvent is called the concentration. The concentration of a solution gives the mass of solute in a volume of solution. The units of concentration are grams of solute per milliliter of solvent (g/mL). As more solute is added, the concentration of the solution increases. Solutions are often described as being concentrated or dilute. A dilute solution is one that has a small amount of solute dissolved in the solvent. A concentrated solution has more solute in solution. These terms do not tell you the actual concentration of the solution, but rather a rela- tive concentration. The dilute solution (left) contains less solute than the concentrated solution (right). CriticalThinking 9.

Interactive Textbook 67 Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures SECTION 3 Name Class Date Mixtures continued SOLUBILITY Is there a limit to the amount of solute that can be added to a solution? The answer is yes. Think about how you add sugar to lemonade. As you add some sugar to the lemonade and stir it, the sugar dissolves. If you add more sugar, you make a more concentrated solution. Eventually, no matter how much you stir, some sugar remains as a solid at the bottom of the glass. Suppose you want find the maximum amount of sugar that you could add to the lemonade. You need to know the solubil- ity of sugar in water. Solubility is how much solute dissolves in a certain amount of solvent at a certain temperature. For most solids, the solubility of the solid in water increases as temperature rises. This is shown on the graph below as a line that slopes upward to the right. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. Notice that the line for cerium sulfate slopes downward to the right. This means that as temperature increases, cerium sulfate gets less soluble. 200 240 160 120 80 40 0 80 10020 40 60 Temperature (ºC) Solubility(g/100mLofwater) Sodium chloride Sodium nitrate Cerium sulfate Potassium bromide Sodium chlorate Solubility of Different Solids in Water CALCULATING CONCENTRATION The equation for calculating concentration is concentration grams of solute___________________ milliliters of solvent .

Interactive Textbook 68 Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures SECTION 3 Name Class Date Mixtures continued DISSOLVING GASES IN LIQUIDS Most solids are more soluble in liquids at higher tem- peratures. However, gas becomes less soluble in liquids as the temperature is raised. A soft drink goes flat faster when warm than when cool. The gas that is dissolved in the soft drink cannot stay dissolved when the temperature increases. Therefore, the gas escapes, and the soft drink becomes “flat”. DISSOLVING SOLIDS FASTER IN LIQUIDS Several things affect how fast a solid will dissolve. Look at the figure below to see three ways to make a solid dissolve faster. You will enjoy a glass of lemonade sooner if you stir sugar into the lemonade before adding ice. Mixing by stirring or shaking causes the solute particles to separate from one another and spread out more quickly among the solvent particles. Heating causes particles to move more quickly. The sol- vent particles can separate the solute particles and spread them out more quickly. Crushing the solute increases the amount of contact it has with the solvent. The particles of the crushed solute mix with the solvent more quickly. How to Dissolve Solids Faster READING CHECK 15. Identify Are gases more soluble at high or low temperatures? TAKE A LOOK 16.

Have you ever shaken a snow globe? If so, you have seen the solid snow particles mix with the water, as shown in the figure below. When you stop shaking the globe, the snow settles to the bottom. This mixture is called a sus- pension. A suspension is a mixture in which the particles of a material are large enough to settle out. The particles in a suspension are large enough to scatter or block light. The particles are too large to stay mixed without being shaken or stirred. A suspension can be separated by passing it through a filter. The solid particles get trapped by the filter. The liquid or gas part of the suspension passes through the filter. What Are Colloids? Some mixtures have properties between those of solu- tions and suspensions. A colloid is a mixture in which the particles are spread throughout but are not large enough to settle out. The particles of a colloid are not as small as those of a solution. However, they are smaller than those of a suspension. You might be surprised at the number of colloids you see each day. Milk, mayonnaise, gelatin, and whipped cream are all colloids. The particles of a colloid are large enough to scatter light. An example of this is the headlights of a car that is traveling through fog. However, a colloid cannot be separated by a filter. The particles of the colloid are small enough to pass through the filter. Colloid This dessert includes two tasty examples of colloids—fruity gelatin and whipped cream.
