    This document discusses classifying matter as either pure substances or mixtures. Pure substances cannot be separated into their individual components using physical processes like filtration or distillation, while mixtures can. Mixtures are combinations of two or more substances where the identity and proportions of the original substances are retained. Solutions are a type of homogeneous mixture where particles of the components are mixed so thoroughly that they are uniformly distributed and cannot be easily separated. Solutions have a solvent that dissolves a solute.

    CLASSIFYING MATTER

    We can distinguish between different types of substance by whether or not we


    can separate them using -------------------- ---------------------:

    Pure ---------------------- cannot be ----------------------- --------------- other


    substances using ----------------------- -------------------, for example -------------------,
    ---------------------------- or water.

    ---------------------- can be separated into other substances using ----------------------


    -------------------------------, for example, ----------, ------------------ or
    -------------------------------------.

    According to this, a mixture is a combination of two or more ----------- ------------


    in which the ----------------------- of the original substances are
    ------------------------.
    State how we can solve the problem of the two beakers of
    water.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ----------------------------

    MIXTURES can be:

     Heterogeneous mixtures are those


    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ----------------------------------------------. Their properties and composition
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ---------------------------------------------
     Homogeneous mixtures or --------------------, are those whose
    components--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------. Their
    properties and
    composition---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ---------------------------------------------.

    SOLUTIONS

    In a solution, the particles of all the substances are mixed together so well that
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
    All solutions have two components:

     The solvent is --------------------------------------------------------------


     The solute is ------------------------------------------------------------------

    The solvent and the solute can be found in any state of aggregation.

     If the solvent is liquid , usually water, we talk about -------------- ------------


    Examples of this are:
    water with sugar in which the solute is ------------------
    water with alcohol, in which the solute is -----------------
    fizzy drinks, in which the solute is ---------------------
     In air and natural gas all the components are ----------------------------
     Alloys are solutions formed by ----- -- ----- -------------------- ------------------
    of which one is a ------------ such as bronze, steel or brass. All the
    components are ----------------.
