In chemistry, a mixture is a material made up of two or more
different substances which are mixed. A mixture refers to the physical
combination of two or more substances in which the identities are retained and
are mixedMixtures are one product of mechanically blending or mixing
chemical substances such as elements and compounds, without chemical
bonding or other chemical change, so that each ingredient substance retains its
own chemical properties and makeup.[3] Despite that there are no chemical
changes to its constituents, the physical properties of a mixture, such as
its melting point, may differ from those of the components. Some mixtures can
be separated into their components by using physical (mechanical or thermal)
means. Azeotropes are one kind of mixture that usually pose considerable
difficulties regarding the separation processes required to obtain their
constituents (physical or chemical processes or, even a blend of them). In the
form of solutions.
EXAMPLES OF MIXTURES
HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURE
A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture having a non-uniform composition. The
composition varies from one region to another, with at least two phases that
remain separate from each other, with clearly identifiable properties. If you
examine a sample of a heterogeneous mixture, you can see the separate
components.
In physical chemistry and materials science, the definition of a heterogeneous
mixture is somewhat different. Here, a homogeneous mixture is one in which
all components are in a single phase, while a heterogeneous mixture contains
components in different phases.
EXAMPLE OF HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURE
HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURE
A homogeneous mixture is a solid, liquid, or gaseous. Homogeneous
mixtures have the same composition throughout, and the individual
parts of the mixture are not easily identifiable. Homogeneous
mixtures are also referred to as solutions. While we normally think of
solutions as liquids, such as soft drinks and lemonade, they can
actually be in the form of solids, liquids, and gases. Homogeneous
mixtures can also be a combination of these forms, as in a liquid-gas
mixture.
EXAMPLE OF HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURE
SOLUTION
In chemistry, a solution is a special type of homogeneous
mixture composed of two or more substances. The term aqueous
solution is when one of the solvents is water.[1] In such a mixture, a solute
is a substance dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent. The
mixing process of a solution happens at a scale where the effects
of chemical polarity are involved, resulting in interactions that are
specific to solvation. The solution assumes the phase of the solvent when
the solvent is the larger fraction of the mixture, as is commonly the case.
The concentration of a solute in a solution is the mass of that solute
expressed as a percentage of the mass of the whole solution.
