Mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined. The substance are combined but no new substances formed.
A mixture can be solid, liquid, or gas form.
In mixtures of solid materials, the components appear to be non-uniform or heterogeneous mixture. The components of solid mixtures can be distinguished or identify from one another.
TWO TYPES OF MIXTURE:
Homogeneous Mixture
Heterogeneous Mixture
Homogeneous means THE SAME.
Heterogeneous means DIFFERENT.
Homogeneous mixture appears uniform all throughout because they have the same proportion.
Heterogeneous Mixture are not in uniform in proportion where combined substances are not evenly spread or mixed.
A mixture of different metals are also called "alloys".
COMMON TYPES OF ALLOYS:
Steel
Bronze
Brass
A "uniform" or "homogeneous" mixture is a mixture which you cannot clearly see the components or ingredients and one type of a uniform mixture is the solution.
A solution is formed when one substance is dissolved in another substance.
When a substance is dissolved, it breaks down into molecules. And these molecules mix with other molecules of another substance.
Solute is the additive or the substance being dissolve in a solvent.
Extra information: It is a substance that dissolves in another substance, it is the component in a solution present in a lesser amount.
Solvent is the main component of the solution and it is usually in greater amount.
Extra Information: A substance that dissolves a solute, it is usually a liquid.
When solute is dissolved in as vent it results in a so called solution.
Solubility - the ability to be dissolved specially in water.
DIFFERENT FACTORS AFFECTING SOLUBILITY:
Nature of solute and solvent
Temperature of solvent
Manners of stirring
Amount of solvent
Size of the solute
SOLVENT
A substance that does the dissolving.
Larger amount
SOLUTE
A substance that is being dissolved.
Smallest amount
Nature of solvent
-Solubility of a solute in a solvent depends on the nature of both.
Temperature of Solvent
-Raising the temperature will increase the solubility of a solute in a solvent.
Manners of Stirring
-It affects how quickly a solute dissolves in a solvent.
Dilute - solution has small amount of solute.
Concentrated - solution that has a lot of solute in a given solvent.
