TOPIC: STANDARD SEPARATION TECHNIQUES FOR MIXTURES
CONTENTS:
PERIOD 1: COMPOUNDS AND MIXTURES
COMPOUND
A compound is a substance which contains two or more elements chemically combined together. A compound is formed as a result of a chemical change. It is a new substance with entirely different properties from those of substances from which it is formed. For example water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen chemically combined in the ratio 2:1 by mass respectively. Other example of mass are sound, limestone, common salt, petrol, kerosene etc.
MIXTURE:
A mixture is made up of two or more substances which can be mixed together, mechanically, in any proportion. It can be said to contain two or more constituents which easily be separated by physical method. Examples are air, soil, well water, tap water, milk, sweat, blood etc.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN COMPOUNDS AND MIXTURES
COMPOUNDS | MIXTURES |
1. Constituents are present in a fixed proportion by mass | Constituents can be mixed in any proportion |
2. Constituents are joined by chemical bonds | No chemical bond between constituents |
3. It is always homogeneous | It may be homogeneous or heterogeneous |
4.The properties differ entirely from those of its component’s elements | The properties are the sum of those of its individual constituents |
5. Constituents of compounds cannot be separated by physical means | Components of mixtures can be separated by physical means |
