Mixing and

Dissolving
 Mixture
• You will get a mixture
if you mix two or
more different
components.

• In a mixture all
substances that are
mixed together can
also be separated
easily
Mixture – For example
Soluti ons
• Solutions are also
mixtures of two or more
chemicals
– BUT! In this case, the
particles are
completely dissolved
Chemical changes
Burning
Difference between physical and
chemical changes
 Difference between physical and chemical
changes

• Chemical changes: at the end of the

reaction, one kind of matter will
change into another kind
– These changes cannot be reversed
 Burning

• Burning is a process with a high

temperature, flames and light
– It needs oxygen
– Fire changes the wood into ashes and
smoke (gas)
Other chemical
changes:

• ‘slow burning’
– Rusty nails are caused by oxygen in air
that mixes with the material that
makes up the nails
