What is mixture?

MIXTURE
•A combination of two or more
substances that are not chemically
combined. The substances are put
together but no new substance is formed
Solid mixture
 MIXTURE OF SOLID
MATERIALS
• The materials in the mixture appear to be non-
uniform throughout
• The components of the materials in a mixture
can still be distinguished from one another
• Each substances retains its individual properties
 HETEROGENEOUS
• materials in the mixture can be still recognized
• Solid mixtures are heterogeneous mixtures
Solid and liquid
 MIXTURE OF SOLID AND
LIQUID
• Mixture is sometimes a solution (when one material,
usually solids dissolves into the other material)
• There are also solid materials that does not dissolve
in the liquid and the components of the materials in
the mixture cans still be distinguish from one another
 Not a solution
• pepper (solid substance)
does not dissolve in the
water (liquid substance

HETEROGENEOUS
• materials in the mixture can
be still recognized
 solution
• Salt (solid substance)
dissolves in the water
(liquid substance)
• Salt solution

HOMOGENEOUS
 HOMOGENEOUS
• materials in the mixture cannot be recognized from one
another
• They all appeared to be as one
 • In a solid-liquid mixture, it can either be a solution
(homogeneous) or not a solution (heterogenous)
• If the solid material combined can be dissolve it is a solution
(homogeneous) and if it is not, then its not a solution
(heterogeneous)
liquid mixture
 MIXTURE OF TWO LIQUIDS
• The materials in the mixture can sometimes appear
to be uniform or non uniform throughout
• Substances combined sometimes mix completely
to form a single substance and sometimes not.
 Uniform
throughout
• vinegar (liquid substance) mix
completely with soy sauce (liquid
substance)
HOMOGENEOUS
• materials in the mixture
cannot be recognized
 Non-uniform
throughout
• oil (liquid substance) does not
mix completely with water
(liquid substance)
HETEROGENEOUS
• materials in the mixture can
still be recognized
• In a liquid-liquid mixture, it can either mix completely or
do not mix at all.
• If completely mix, it is homogeneous. If not, it is
heterogeneous
