LESSON 2: Identifying and Forming Mixtures

(Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Mixtures)
Objectives: In this lesson, the learners should be able to:
  Describe Homogenous and Heterogeneous Mixtures.

EXPLORE/EXPERIMENT:
ACTIVITY 1: Make Your Own Mixture
Materials:
Pebbles Teaspoon White paper
Table salt Cooking oil 4 plastic cups
White sand Iron fillings
Brown sugar Water
Procedure:
1. Put one teaspoon of white sugar and one teaspoon of pebbles in one plastic cup. Shake
the cup. Can you still differentiate the sugar from the pebbles?
2. Add one teaspoon of salt to a half – filled cup of water. Stir and look at the cup closely.
Can you still see the salt?
3. Combine water and cooking oil in equal amount in another cup. Cover the cup with your
hand and shake it well. Describe what you see inside the cup.
4. In another cup, put a little amount of iron fillings and a little amount of white sand. Shake
the cup well. Can you still differentiate white sand from the iron fillings?

Probing Questions:
1. In which mixture can you still distinguish its individual components?

EXPLANATION:
Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Mixtures
When you combine two or more substances, you form a mixture. Mixtures are different
from compounds because the Mixture doesn’t have a new chemical property when blended. The
substances combined in a mixture can be separated into pure elements. The two main categories
of mixture are homogeneous and heterogeneous.

Homogeneous Mixtures have a unified or same composition throughout, while heterogeneous

mixtures have an uneven composition.

A substance or material that contains only one kind of compound or one element can be defined
as homogeneous. Homogeneous is a Latin Word for “the same kind”.

An example of a homogenous substance would be pure water, which contains only the
compound H2O or pure table salt that contains only the compound NaCl. Two or more gases will
always mix to form just one phase.

A homogeneous mixture is a mixture which has uniform composition and properties throughout.
For example, a teaspoon of table salt stirred into a glass of water will form a homogenous
mixture. A teaspoon of sand in water will form a mixture but it won’t be homogeneous.

The particles combined in these mixtures are larger than in a homogeneous mixtures and are
visible to the naked eye. You can distinguish the different combined particles easily from each
other. For example, when you mix oil and water, you will be able to see the oil floating on top of
the water. These two substances will never combine together completely.

Solid Mixture
A mixture is a blend or a mishmash of two or more components. Components in a mixture may
either be uniformly mixed or not; the mixed components stay the same. They keep their original
characteristics even though they are combined with other elements.
Ex. Pebbles and sugar, sand and salt
Liquid Mixture is in the liquid phase. It may be a combination of solid and liquid substances or
two liquid substances. The salt dissolved in water made a very fine liquid mixture called a
solution.

The classification of mixtures depends on the phase of the resulting mixture.

Emulsions
When you mix water and oil together, they do not completely combine with each other.
They become cloudy and form bubbles. We call this mixture as emulsion. Emulsion is a kind of
liquid mixture where two liquids do not completely dissolve in each other, but instead tiny drops
of the dispersed oil remain suspended in water. Emulsions are not permanent. The liquids
separate from each other after a certain period of time.

There are emulsions that do not separate because of emulsifying agent is combined. Lubricant,
medicines, hand lotions and paint are examples of this kind of emulsion.

An emulsion is suspension of a liquid within another liquid. Oil and vinegar and salad dressing is
a good example of emulsion. The fat within breast milk, butter, margarine an mayonnaise are
also good examples of emulsion, as fats continually surround droplets of water.
