Mixed or Pure?
Suppose you pick up a rock on the
beach. You see there are some parts of
it that are grey, white, blue. You
conclude that the different-coloured
parts of the rock must be different types
of matter. Is this a reasonable
conclusion?

Mixed or Pure?
With a partner, select two of the
following pairs of items and list as many
differences as you can:
Vinegar and water
Aluminum foil and plastic wrap
Steel and glass
Molasses and cooking oil
Metal paper clips and saw dust
Pure Substances...
ALWAYSappear as
uniform throughout
They contain either a single
atom or two or more atoms
chemically combined to
form a different substance.

Limestone- A PureSubstance
(Calcium Carbonate)
Limestone is a sedimentary rock
composed of calcium carbonate
(CaCO3).
Has many uses: including as building
material, filler in products such as
toothpaste or paints.
11.
Water- A PureSubstance
Water is a chemical substance with the
chemical formula H2O. A water
molecule contains one oxygen and two
hydrogen atoms connected by covalent
bonds.
USING THE PARTICLETHEORY OF MATTER WE
CAN DISTINGUISH BETWEEN A PURE
SUBSTANCE AND A MIXTURE
Pure Substance: has only ONE type of particle
Example: gold, iron
Mixture: has 2 or more types of substance in it. We can also
say it has 2 or more types of particles mixed together
Example: sweetened water
A Quick Review of chapter so far:
The Tyndall Effect
A phenomenon that can be
used to distinguish between
solutions and what appears to
be a solution
cannot be used to distinguish
between a solution and a
pure liquid

In a Solution...
Light passes
unaffected (if a student
looks at the beaker
perpendicular to the
direction of the beam
they will NOT see it
27.
In a MechanicalMixture...
The light will scatter
as it passes through
the mixture because
all particles are not
dissolved (as shown
on the left)
