6.SOLUTION
 MIXTURE- is a combination of two or more
substances where there is no chemical
combination or reaction.

Mixtures combine physically in no specific proportions. They just mix.

Solids, liquids and gases can be combined to create a mixture.

Mixtures can be heterogeneous or homogeneous.

Heterogeneous mixtures are those where you can see each of the
components separately. A mixture of stones in soil is an example of a
heterogeneous mixture.

Homogeneous mixtures are those where you can´t see each of the
components separately.
SOLUTE- the minor component in a solution, dissolved in the solvent.

SOLVENT- the liquid in which a solute is dissolved to form a solution.

SOLUTION- a liquid mixture in which the minor component (the solute)

is uniformly distributed within the major component (the solvent).

EXAMPLE OF SOLUTION

SOLUTE= SALT
SOLVENT= WATER
SOLUTUION= SALT SOLUTION

USE OF SALT SOLUTION

helps to cleanse pores deeply,
balance oil production and
thwart bacteria that can
instigate breakouts and acne.

GELATIN
WHAT KIND OF MIXTURE IS GELATIN?

GELATIN IS A COLLOID

A COLLOID-a homogeneous, noncrystalline

substance consisting of large molecules or
ultramicroscopic particles of one substance dispersed
through a second substance. Colloids include gels,
sols, and emulsions; the particles do not settle and
cannot be separated out by ordinary filtering or
centrifuging like those in a suspension.
