5 Questions
Define a mixture and provide an example of a mixture found in daily life.
A mixture is made up of two or more pure forms of matter (substances) present in any proportion by mass or by volume, which do not react chemically with each other. An example of a mixture found in daily life is salt solution.
What are the characteristics of mixtures?
Mixtures are impure forms of matter and contain more than one component (elements or compounds) present in any proportion by mass or by volume. The components retain their properties in a mixture because they do not react chemically with each other. The components can be separated by physical methods.
List three examples of mixtures found in our daily life.
Three examples of mixtures found in our daily life are air, milk, and soil.
What are the types of mixtures?
Mixtures are of two types: Homogeneous mixtures (also known as solutions) and heterogeneous mixtures.
Explain the difference between a homogeneous mixture and a heterogeneous mixture.
A homogeneous mixture, also known as a solution, has uniform composition throughout and its components are evenly distributed. A heterogeneous mixture, on the other hand, does not have a uniform composition and its components are not evenly distributed.
