Describing Mixtures

How will you define mixture?

• A mixture is a substance made by mixing other substances together.
• A mixture is a substance formed by chemical bonding.
• A mixture is a single substance with uniform composition.
• A mixture is a substance that cannot be separated into its components.

What are the 2 types of mixtures?

• Solid mixtures and liquid mixtures
• Chemical mixtures and physical mixtures
• Pure mixtures and impure mixtures
• Homogeneous mixtures and heterogeneous mixtures

How can you differentiate the 2 mixtures? Explain your answer.

• By conducting physical and chemical tests to observe unique properties of each mixture.
• By tasting the mixtures to identify any differences in flavor.
• By smelling the mixtures to detect unique scents.
• By observing the mixtures under a microscope to see distinct patterns.

What is example of heterogeneous mixtures?

• Milkshake
• Coffee

• Orange juice
• Salad

How you define solute?

• A substance that is a solid at room temperature
• A substance that is a gas at room temperature
• A substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution.
• A substance that is mixed with a solvent but does not dissolve

What is solvent?

• A solvent is a substance that does not dissolve a solute.
• A solvent is a solid material used in chemical reactions.
• A solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution.
• A solvent is a type of gas that reacts with other substances.

Identify if the following homogeneous mixtures.

​ ​ ​ ​

• Saltwater and air are homogeneous mixtures.
• Milk and sand are homogeneous mixtures.
• Oil and water are homogeneous mixtures.
• Iron filings and sulfur are homogeneous mixtures.

What is the definition of a homogeneous mixture?

• A homogeneous mixture is a substance made by mixing other substances together and appear uniform.

• A homogeneous mixture is a substance formed by chemical bonding.

• A homogeneous mixture had a uniform composition.

• A homogeneous mixture is a substance that cannot be separated into its components.

Explain the difference between a solute and a solvent.

• A solute is a substance that does not dissolve a solvent, while a solvent is a solid material used in chemical reactions.

• A solute is a gas at room temperature, while a solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution.

• A solute is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution, while a solvent is a type of gas that reacts with other substances.

• A solute is mixed with a solvent but does not dissolve, while a solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution.

What is the definition of a heterogeneous mixture?

• A heterogeneous mixture is a substance made by mixing other substances together and appear uniform.

• A heterogeneous mixture is a substance formed by chemical bonding.

• A heterogeneous mixture had a non-uniform composition.

• A heterogeneous mixture is a substance that cannot be separated into its components.
