Homogeneous mixture

A mixture with uniform composition throughout; completely mixed with no distinct substances visible.

Solution

A homogeneous mixture, where one substance is dissolved into another.

Solute

The substance that is dissolved in a solution; present in a smaller quantity.

Solvent

The substance that dissolves the solute; present in a larger quantity.

Study Notes

  • Study notes for Chemistry: Types of mixtures from April 6 2025 are provided

Types of Mixtures

  • Mixtures can be classified as Homogeneous or Heterogeneous

Homogeneous Mixtures

  • Exhibit a uniform composition
  • Components are completely mixed
  • No distinct substances are visible
  • Sugar dissolved in water is an example
  • A homogeneous mixture is called a solution

Solution Components

  • Solute: Present in smaller quantity, like salt
  • Solvent: Present in the largest quantity, commonly water

Heterogeneous Mixtures

  • Exhibit a non-uniform composition
  • Particles are visible
  • Distinct layer substances are present
  • Salad or coffee are examples

Colloids

  • Particles are smaller than suspensions and do not settle down
  • Milk is an example

Suspensions

  • Particles are large and will settle down
  • Sand in water is an example with the water as the dispersion medium which is the substance in larger quantity

Liquids

  • If two liquids are mixed, they can be miscible or immiscible
  • Miscible: Form one layer, homogeneous, like vinegar in water (dissolved and not visible)
  • Immiscible: Form two layers, heterogeneous, like oil in water
