Physical Changes
Physical change = a change in one or more physical
properties. Does not change the composition of the
substance.
Does not create a new substance.

Example: Boiling water. Melting ice. Mixing sand and water. Tearing a piece of aluminum foil.

Physical Changes

Physical change = a change in one or more physical properties. Does not change the composition of the substance. Does not create a new substance. Is easily reversed.

Example: Rusting Burning wood Cooking an egg

Chemical Changes

Chemical change = a change in the composition of the substance. A chemical change changes the substance into a different substance or substances.

Pure Substances and Mixtures

Matter can be classified into two categories: Pure substances or mixtures. Review: What are the two characteristics of matter?

Has variable composition Example: Soda, steel, air Always has the same composition. Example: Pure water, aluminum, table salt.

Pure Substance

Mixture

A mixture is a type of matter that is made up of more than one kind of particle. It contains two or more pure substances. A pure substance is a type of matter that is made up of only one kind of particle.

Pure substances can either be

compounds or elements.

Elements are pure substances that are only made up of one type of atom.

  • Cannot be broken down into other substances by chemical means.
  • Example: oxygen, aluminum Compounds are pure substances that are made up of two or more types of atoms chemically bonded together.
  • Always have the same composition.
  • Example: Water is a compound. H 2 O. Water always has 2 hydrogen atoms with 1 oxygen atom.

Separating Mixtures

We can separate mixtures using a variety of methods. Three ways we will talk about in class today are

  1. Distillation
  2. Filtration
  3. Chromatography

Filtration is used to separate a mixture of a solid and

a liquid. As the liquid passes through a filter, the solid particles get trapped. Example:

Chromatography is the separation of mixtures

based on the affinity (attraction) of a substance to either a stationary phase or mobile phase. Example: Separating out ink on filter paper. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLbdHPBC 2 I 4
