Study Notes
Homogeneous Mixtures Overview
- Homogeneous mixtures have a uniform composition throughout all parts.
- Examples include milk, liquid laundry detergent, vinegar, and salt water.
True Solutions
- A true solution qualifies as a homogeneous mixture.
- All solutions are inherently homogeneous in nature.
Characteristics of Homogeneous Mixtures
- Dissolving substances, such as salt in distilled water, forms a homogeneous mixture.
- A homogeneous mixture maintains uniform properties in all segments.
Composition Insights
- Compounds possess fixed compositions, while mixtures can vary in their chemical makeup.
- Mixtures do not meet the definition of pure substances due to their variable nature.
Clarifications on Misconceptions
- Solutions are not heterogeneous; they have a consistent ratio of solute to solvent.
- The statement that a homogeneous mixture is made from two or more impure substances in a non-uniform way is inaccurate.
- Air is acknowledged as a homogeneous mixture due to its even distribution of components.
