IS MATTER AROUND US PURE ?
1. INTRODUCTION
We know all the matter around is not pure. If we observe some soil (Mitti) and some surge placed on
two different sheets of paper with a magnifiying glass, we find soil contains clay particles, some grass
particles and even some dead insects etc. That is soil canticles of different kinds is called an impure
substance
We can see that most of the matter round us exist as a mixture of two more pure components, for
example, milk, sea- water, minerals etc. are all mixtures.
Type of matter : -
On the basis f chemical nature, matter can be classified into two types :
(i) pure substance. (ii) Impure substance (mixture)
(i) Pure substance :- A homogeneous material which contains canticles of only one kind has a has a
definite set of properties, is called a pure substance . OR
A pure substance is a distinct type of matter that can not be separated into other of matter by any
physical process e..g. oxygen, sulphur, iron etc. are pure substance however, if a substance is composed
of two or more different kinds of particles combined together in fixed proportion by weight, then the
substance is also regarded as pure substance. e.g. Sodium chloride is a pure substance, because it has a
fixed number of sodium and chloride ions, combined together in fixed proportion by weight, Similarly,
magnesium oxide (MgO), Carbon dioxide (CO
2
) copper sulphate (CuSO
4
) etc. are pure substance
Note : It does not imply all homogeneous substance for example, common salt solution in water, is a
homogenous solution. Yet it cannot be called a pure substance, as it made of two different substance e.g.
salt and water.
(ii) Mixture :- When tow or more substance (elements, compounds or both) are mixed together in any
proportion, such that they do not undergo any chemical change, but retain their individual
characteristics the resulting product is called a mixture. e.g. Brass is mixture of copper and zinc.
Crude oil is a mixture of large number of different hydrocarbons.
Type of mixture :- Depending upon the nature of components a mixtures can be divided into two
types
(a) Heterogeneous mixture :- A mixture is different constituents are not mixed uniformly, is called a
heterogeneous mixtures. The components of a heterogeneous mixture can be observed with naked
eyes or with the help of a microscope e.g. Sand and iron filings, sand & water etc.
(b) Homogeneous mixture :- A mixture in which different constituents are mixed uniform, is called a
homogeneous mixture. homogeneous mixture are also know as solution. The components of such a
mixture cannot be see even under a microscope e.g. salt solution, copper sulpate, sugar solution
similarly alloys such brass, bronze etc. are homogeneous solid solutions of metals.
Ques. Wht is meant by a pure substance ? [NCERT]
Ques. List the points of differences between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures .[NCERT]
Ques. What is the other name of impure substance ? Give two example of impure substance.
Ques. Name three mixture found in nature.
Ques. Which of the following is a mixture ? Salt, Air, Water, Alum, Sugar.
Solutions :- A homogeneous mixture of two or more substance is called a solution. In a solution there is
homogeneity at the particle level. Usually we think of a solution an a liquid the contains a solid or a
liquid or a gas dissolved in it. However, this is not turn. We can have a solid solution in the case of
Alloys.
e.g. Air is a mixture of gas. Air is a homogeneous mixture of a number of gases. Its two main
constituents of gases are oxygen (21 %) and Nitrogen (78%)

Alloys :- Alloys are homogeneous mixture of metals and cannot be separated into their components by
physical methods. But still, an alloy is considered as a mixture, because it shows the properties of its two
main constituents and can have variable composition. For example, brass is a mixture of 30 % zinc and
70 % copper.

Components of solution :- This substance present in a homogeneous solution, are called component of the
solution. A solution basically has two components i.e. solvent and a solute.
(a) Solvent :- The component of a solution which dissolves the other component in it self, is called solvent.
A solvent is the large component of the solution of e.g. a solution of sugar in water is a solid in liquid
solution. In this solution, sugar is the solute and water is the solvent.
(b) Solute :- The component of the solution which dissolves in the solvent, is called solute. Solute is the
smaller component of the solution e.g. solution of iodine in alcohol known tincture of iodine iodine it the
solute.
similarly, in carbonated drinks (Soda water), carbon dioxide gas is the solute.
Characteristics of a solution :-
Solution is a homogeneous mixtures.
The size of solute particle in a should is extremely small. It is less then 1 nm in diamter.
The particles of a solution cannot be seen even with a microscope.
The particles of a solution pass through the filter paper. So a solution cannot be separated by
filtration
The solution are very stable. The particles of solute present in a solution do not separate out on
Keeping
A true solution does not scatter light (because its particles are vary small.)
Concentration of a solution :- The concentration of a solution is the amount of solute preset in a give
quantity of the solution. In other words the mass of the solute in grams, which is present in 100 of a
solution
In a solution the relative proportion of the solute and solvent can be varied. Depending up on the amount
of solute present in a solution. It can be called a dilute concentrated or a saturated solution. Different
substance in a given solvent have different solubilies at the same temperature.
The most common method different for expressing the concentration of a solute, is called percentage of
solute
The concentration of solution refers to the percentage of solute preset in the solution. The percentage of
solute can be expressed in term of.
(i) Concentration of a solution in terms of mass of solute If the solution of a solid solute dissolved in
a liquid, then we consider the mass percentage of solute in calculating the concentration of solution, So in
the case of a solid solute dissolved in a liquid solvent.
Mass by mass percentage of a solute =
The mass of solution = mass of solute + mass of solvent
Ex. A solution contains 80 g of common salt in 640 g of water. Calculate the concentration in
terms of mass by mass percentage of the solution
Sol. Mass of solute (salt) = 80 g
Mass of solvent (water) = 640 g
Mass of solution = Mass of soute + Mass of sovent
80g + 640 g = 720 g
Mass percentage of solution = 100 = 100 = 11.1
