Find the Solution! Or Maybe the Mixture? Classifying Mixtures and Solutions
A mixture is a combination of two or more different kinds substances that are not chemically bonded. Can be composed of solids, liquids, and gasses. Example: Pepper and salt, water and oil, chips and pretzels. A mixture keeps its physical properties. The chemical composition of each ingredient stays the same. There are heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures. Heterogeneous mixtures consists of differently visible substances and phases. Homogeneous mixtures, or solutions, have a uniform composition throughout. What is a Mixture?
When one substance dissolves in another, the two form a solution. A solute is dissolved in a solvent creating a solution. Examples: Vinegar, Kool-Aid, 14-Karat Gold, and Salt Water. A solution is a specific type of mixture. A solution is always a mixture. A mixture is not always a solution. What is a Solution?
When Mixing salt and water it is hard to tell what is in the mixture. The salt seems to disappear. Though when tasting salt water, it is very clear that the salt is still there, and that it is just dispersed evenly within the water. Salt in Water
