Study Notes

Mixtures

  • A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that retain their individual properties.
  • Mixtures can be separated by physical methods.
  • Mixtures can be homogeneous or heterogeneous.

Solutions

  • A solution is a homogeneous mixture of a solute and a solvent.
  • The solute dissolves in the solvent.
  • Solutions are clear and do not separate with standing.

Colloids

  • Colloids are opaque homogeneous mixtures.
  • Colloids have very tiny particles suspended in another substance.
  • The particles are too small to see with the naked eye.
  • Colloids do not separate with standing.

Mechanical mixtures

  • A mechanical mixture is a heterogeneous combination of two substances.
  • The substances are easily identifiable.

Suspensions

  • Suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures of a solid and a liquid.
  • Suspensions separate when left standing.
  • Suspensions can be separated by filtering.

Emulsions

  • Emulsions are heterogeneous mixtures of two liquids.
  • Emulsions separate when left to stand.

Solute and Solvent

  • The solute is the substance that dissolves in a solvent.
  • The solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute to form a solution.
