Mixtures

A mixture is what you get when you combine two substances in such a way that no chemical reaction occurs between the components and you can separate them again. They are mixed together, but not combined. A classic example would be saltwater. The salt is broken up into sodium (Na) and chloride (Cl) ions in the water. To separate them you just need to boil it, and the salt will be left. Homogeneous Mixtures These are mixtures that have the same uniform appearance and composition throughout. They are commonly referred to as solutions. Examples include blood, orange juice (without pulp), brewed tea and wine Heterogeneous Mixtures These mixtures are made up of visibly different substances or phases. They have different compositions and properties, i.e. no uniform and equal composition like homogeneous mixtures.

Examples include oil and water, chicken noodle soup, and concrete
