Mixture Components and Types

What is the primary characteristic of a homogeneous mixture?

In a mixture of 'Galleta + Chocolate', which component is the solute?

Which of the following is an example of a heterogeneous mixture?

What term is used for a substance that has a fixed composition?

Which statement about solutes and solvents is correct?

Mixture Components

Solute: The substance present in a smaller amount that dissolves in the solvent.
Solvent: The substance present in a larger amount that dissolves the solute.
Example: In a "Galleta + Chocolate" mixture, chocolate is the solute and the cookie is the solvent.
Example of Solution (Homogeneous): Water ($\ce{H_2O}$) acts as the solvent with other components as solutes.

Mixtures - Homogeneous & Heterogeneous

Homogeneous Mixtures: Components are evenly distributed, particles are too small to be seen, and are indistinguishable. Also known as solutions.
Heterogeneous Mixtures: Components are not evenly distributed, particles are large enough to be seen, and components are distinguishable Examples include cookie dough and salad.

Other Notes

Pure Substances: Substances with a fixed composition.
Impure Substances: Substances with a variable composition.
Aggregation States: States of matter such as solid, liquid, and gas.
Classification: Categorizing materials based on their properties.

This quiz focuses on understanding the components of mixtures, including the roles of solutes and solvents. It also covers the differences between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures, along with examples of each type. Enhance your knowledge about pure and impure substances as well.
