Study Notes
Characteristics of Mixtures
- A characteristic of homogeneous mixtures is that they have a uniform composition throughout, meaning they have the same proportion of components in every part of the mixture.
Characteristics of Mixtures (continued)
- A characteristic of heterogeneous mixtures is that they have a non-uniform composition, meaning their components are not evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Separating Homogeneous Mixtures
- Homogeneous mixtures can be separated using various methods, such as filtration, crystallization, or distillation, which take advantage of differences in the physical properties of the components.
