At this point, some classes are brainstorming filter designs. Please follow these steps when brainstorming:
1. Read about water filter design by exploring the links provided below
2. Consider what would be a good design for a water filter?
3. Using the brainstorming worksheet provided in class, draw a filter you believe would work well to separate a mechanical mixture
4. Remember to add detailed notes to your diagram that explains the rationale behind the materials and design you used
5. You will also need to include estimated measurements for your design; remember that the filter must fit inside a 30 cubic centimeter box

Section 8.1 Notes
Solutions: Concentration and Solubility
Solutions
- are
homogeneous mixtures
- have the same
appearance throughout
Alloys – a special name for solid solutions
(e.g., steel)
Solute – the substance
that dissolves
Solvent – the substance
which does the dissolving
E.g., in sugar and water, the water is the solvent and the sugar is the
solute
Water – The Universal Solvent
Water is able to dissolve many different solids, liquids and gases
Not all substances are soluble in water; e.g., fat is insoluble in water
Solubility
Solubility can be defined as:
a)
the relative ability of a solute to form a solution
when added to a certain solvent
b)
the maximum amount of solute you can dissolve in a
fixed amount of solvent at a given temperature
Forming
a Solution
To form a solution, the solute particles must be attracted to the
solvent particles; e.g., salt particles are attracted to water particles
We can say that salt is soluble
in water because it dissolves in water
Salt and olive oil will not form a solution because the salt particles
are not attracted to the oil particles
We can say that salt is insoluble
in olive oil because it does not dissolve in olive oil
Concentration – Qualitative
A concentrated solution: A
solution that contains a lot of dissolved solute compared to the amount of
solvent; e.g., a can of frozen orange juice
A dilute solution: A solution
that contains very little solute compared to the amount of solvent; e.g., a
solution of water and the can of frozen orange juice
Concentration – Quantitative
The concentration of a solution can be written as the amount of solute
dissolved in a specific amount of solvent.
For example, if 5 grams of salt are dissolved in 500 milliliters of
water; the concentration is 5g/500mL
Often we reduce this to a value out of 100mL; so it can be written as 1
gram/100mL
This can also be called a 1 percent solution; this means that for 100mL
of solvent there is 1g of solute dissolved in it
Saturation
Saturation: The maximum
amount of solute that can be dissolved in a certain amount of solvent at a
certain temperature
Saturated Solution: one that has been
saturated; no more solute can be dissolved
Saturation Point: The point at which
no more solute can be dissolved in a fixed volume of solvent at that
temperature
If more solute can be dissolved into a solvent at a given temperature,
then it is called an unsaturated
solution.
Sometimes a saturated solution can be cooled below a critical
temperature to form a supersaturated
solution. This type of solution contains more solute that would normally be
dissolved in the solution.

Section 7.1 Notes
Classification of Matter by Composition
Matter – anything that has mass and takes up space
Mass – the amount of matter in the object (grams, Kg)
Volume - the amount of space that matter occupies (m3, mL)
Solid - matter that has a definite shape and volume.
Particles are vibrating in place, but they cannot move freely.
Liquid – matter that does not have a definite shape but does have a definite volume; a liquid takes the shape of its container.
Particles can move freely past each other, however, they remain in a fixed volume.
A gas is matter that does not have a definite shape or volume.
Gas particles can move freely and fill the spaces they are in.
Pure substance – a substance made up of only one type of matter; e.g., sugar, distilled water, copper wire are all pure substances. Pure substances appear uniform or homogeneous; this means that every part of the substance has the same composition as every other part.
Mixture – a substance made up of two or more different substances; e.g., pizza, soft drinks, eggs. Each substance inside the mixture keeps its own properties; e.g., you can’t see the sugar in soft drinks, but you can taste it.
Classifying Mixtures – mixtures can be grouped into 2 major categories; mechanical mixtures and solutions.
Mechanical mixtures – the different parts of the mixture can be seen; the mixture does not have the same properties throughout.
Sometimes, it’s easy to see the different types of matter throughout the mixture; e.g., snack mix; sometimes you need a microscope.
These mixtures are said to be heterogeneous, this means that it is made up of different substances with different appearances and properties.
Solutions – these mixtures have the same appearance throughout, but they are made up of two or more substances. Solutions are made when you dissolve one substance into another.
All solutions are said to be homogeneous mixtures because they look the same throughout even though they are made up of different substances; e.g., dissolving sugar in tea.
