Questions and Answers

What is the definition of mixtures?

  • A chemical reaction between two or more substances.
  • A single substance with uniform composition throughout.
  • A process in which a substance changes its state.

    Study Notes

    Mixtures Overview

    • Mixtures consist of two or more substances combined without reacting chemically, retaining their individual properties.
    • They can be classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous based on their composition.

    Homogeneous Mixtures

    • A homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition throughout, meaning that its components are evenly distributed.
    • Examples include solutions like saltwater or air, where different substances are indistinguishable.

    Heterogeneous Mixtures

    • Heterogeneous mixtures consist of distinct, separate components that remain visibly different.
    • Characteristics include a non-uniform composition, where one can see the different substances, such as sand mixed with salt.

    Properties of Mixtures

    • Mixtures can be separated into their individual components using physical methods.
    • Properties of mixtures may include variations in composition and the ability to maintain the characteristics of each component.
    • A property that is NOT inherent to mixtures is a fixed, unchanging composition, which is characteristic of pure substances.

    Separation of Mixtures

    • Common methods to separate mixtures include filtration, evaporation, distillation, and centrifugation.
    • Each method relies on differences in physical properties such as size, boiling point, or density to achieve separation.
