A pure substance is a material that can be represented by one formula. Eg : H 2 O, CO 2, Au The atoms that make the substance are bonded. (enlazados, we will study this concept in the next unit) There are two types of pure substances: Elements Compounds An element is a pure substance made of only one kind of atom. They can be isolated atoms: He, Au, Ag. 63
Or they can be in pairs, Cl 2, or threes, O 3, or more, but generally they are in pairs. A compound is a pure substance made of more than one kind of atom. H 2 O, CO 2, CO, HCl. A mixture is a material made up of two or more substances that can be easily separated by physical means. The substances are not bonded among them. A heterogeneous mixture is a material in which you can distinguish the components by a macroscopic approach. Hetero means different, it consists of visibly different substances. Examples: Pizza, fruit salad. A homogeneous mixture is a material in which you can t distinguish the components by a macroscopic approach. Language: The stress in the word components is like this components Homo means the same, it has the same uniform appearance and composition throughout. Commonly we call the homogeneous mixtures solutions. Homogeneous mixtures = solutions Examples: Coca-cola, tea. 64

SEPARATION TECHNIQUES There are different techniques to separate mixtures. Techniques to separate homogeneous mixtures: Crystallisation Distillation Chromatography Techniques to separate heterogeneous mixtures: Filtration or filtering Magnetic separation Liquid decanting or liquid decantation or liquid-liquid extraction You have to complete the next activity to learn the different techniques: Instructions: 1-Read the texts and underline the words you don t understand (don t ask the meaning of those words yet) It is used to separate two liquids that are not mutually soluble. (they don t mix together) Eg.: Water and oil The mixture is poured into a separation funnel; after a few minutes, the different components separate. This happens because these liquids don t mix and have different densities. The denser liquid goes to the bottom and the less dense goes to the top. The stopcock is opened to let the bottom liquid flow into a beaker and then is closed. The remaining liquid, the less dense, is collected in a different beaker. 67
It is used to separate a solid and a liquid which are not mutually soluble. Eg.: sand and water The mixture is passed through a filter paper in a filter funnel. The solid can t pass through the filter paper because its particles are bigger than the holes of the paper, but the liquid particles can pass through the paper. It is used to separate magnetic substances from non-magnetic substances. Eg.: Iron and sand A magnet is passed through the mixture and attracts the magnetic substance. It is used to separate a solid from a liquid. The solid and the liquid are mutually soluble. Eg.: salt and water The solution is heated and left to evaporate. As the liquid evaporates the solid falls to the bottom of the beaker and forms crystals. It is used to separate two liquids which are mutually soluble. Eg.: Alcohol and water. The solution is heated. The liquid with the lower boiling point evaporates first. The vapour passes through a condenser where it cools down and condenses into a liquid, this liquid is collected in the beaker. The liquids separate because they have different boiling points. 68
It is used to separate the colours of ink or pigments of plants. We put a sample of the solution on a filter chromatography paper, we put it in a solvent (water and alcohol for example), this solvent is called the eluent. The eluent rises and dissolves the sample. Due to the different solubility of the different components of the ink, they go up at different rates so we can separate them. 2-You are going to watch a video explaining a technique. While you are listening, write down the name of the technique and all the new words that you hear and then identify and label the text above that explains that technique. Repeat the same stages with all the techniques Technique Key words Video nº1 Video nº2 Video nº3 Video nº4 69
Video nº5 Video nº6 Language: NOUN INFINITIVE GERUND Decantation/Decanting To decant Decanting Filtration/ Filtering To filter Filtering Both crystallisation and crystallization are possible. Another example of this type of word is: colour or color. Language: Apparatus is uncountable, if you want to refer to an item you have to say a piece of apparatus. (Instrumental) Other synonyms are: lab instruments or devices. But both are countable. SOLUTIONS A solution is a homogeneous mixture that can be easily separated by physical means. 70
It is composed of solute and solvent. Concentration of a solution The concentration of a solution is the amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solution at a given temperature. Language: In Chemistry the structure in a given amount of... is quite common. (en una cantidad dada de ) Other similar expressions are: Given that Ex: Given that all the reactants are gases, we can measure the volume with one formula. (Dado que ) At a given Ex: We measure the solubility at a given temperature (A una dada.) We can classify solutions in two types: Dilute solutions, contain a low amount of solute. Concentrated solutions, contain a high amount of solute. 71
When we add the highest amount of solute that the solvent is able to dissolve, we have a saturated solution. Saturated solution is a solution that contains as much solute dissolved as possible. Language: ADJETIVE VERB Infitnitive VERB Past Dilute solution To dilute Diluted Saturated solution To saturate Saturated Concentrated solution To concentrate Concentrated We can also classify solutions as: Solute Solvent Example solid solid alloys (aleaciones) solid liquid Salt in water liquid solid amalgam (amalgama) liquid liquid milk gas liquid Oxygen in water gas gas air Ways to express the concentration of a solution: Concentration = 72

LABORATORY ACTIVITY Making solutions You are going to prepare 100 ml of a solution of sugar and water. We want a concentration of 50 g/l. 1. Write the formula for the concentration of mass/volume 2. Substitute the data in the formula 3. Work out the mass of sugar Before adding the sugar you have to weigh the sugar. To weigh the sugar you have to reset the watch glass. Now you have all the data that you need to prepare the solution. To prepare 100 ml you have to use a volumetric flask of that volume. First you have to introduce the solid. You can do it by dissolving the sugar in a volume of water smaller than 100 ml, (for example 50 ml). Then you introduce the solution to the flask. After that, you fill the flask up with water, to the line. The lower part of the water has to touch the line of the volume that you are measuring. You can do the final part with a dropper. Draw three pictures that explain how you did it: 83
Working with this solution. Let s calculate the density of the solution. Write the formula for the density: Choose a volume between 0 and 100 ml and write it: Measure this volume with the cylinder. Put a beaker on the scale and reset the scale. Then measure the mass of the solution that you have taken. M= Calculate the density using the formula: Questions: If we take 50 ml of this solution, how much sugar is contained in it? If we take 50 ml of the solution, how much mass will it have? What volume of solution will contain 3g of sugar? 84
