This document discusses different types of mixtures including liquid/liquid, liquid/gas, and solid/solid mixtures. Liquid/liquid mixtures include alcoholic beverages which are a mixture of ethanol and water, and vinegar which is a mixture of acetic acid and water. Liquid/gas mixtures include the water in air, which is a mixture of liquid water and gas air, and carbonated drinks, which are a mixture of liquid water and gas carbon dioxide. Solid/solid mixtures include concrete, which is a mixture of solid cement and gravel, and metal alloys like steel which is a solid mixture of iron and carbon.

This document discusses different types of mixtures including liquid/liquid, liquid/gas, and solid/solid mixtures. Liquid/liquid mixtures include alcoholic beverages which are a mixture of ethanol and water, and vinegar which is a mixture of acetic acid and water. Liquid/gas mixtures include the water in air, which is a mixture of liquid water and gas air, and carbonated drinks, which are a mixture of liquid water and gas carbon dioxide. Solid/solid mixtures include concrete, which is a mixture of solid cement and gravel, and metal alloys like steel which is a solid mixture of iron and carbon.

Alcoholic beverages: They are a mixture of ethanol (liquid) in water
(liquid).
Vinegar: As noted above, vinegar is a solution of acetic acid (a liquid
when pure) in water.
LIQUID/GAS MIXTURES:
Examples:
The water in the air: It has a mixture of water (liquid) in the air (gas).
Fizzy drinks: They are a mixture of water (liquid) and carbon
dioxide (gas).
Foam: Any kind of foam is a mixture of gas (bubbles) in a liquid.
Some examples would be bubble bath (the gas is air, the liquid is water; soap helps to stabilize the foam, making the bubbles last longer before "popping").
SOLID/SOLID MIXTURES:
Examples:
Concrete is a similar solid/solid mixture (of cement and gravel),
though in this case the cement is initially a liquid/solid mixture and becomes a solid through a chemical reaction (hence concrete is more complicated to explain).
Metal alloys. Probably the most important examples of solid/solid
solutions are metal alloys. The best-known is certainly steel, which is an alloy of iron and carbon, often with additional metal elements added in to provide special properties (like chromium and nickel, to make stainless steel).
