Mixtures and Solutions

A homogeneous mixture is a mixture that has a uniform composition throughout. The individual components are not distinguishable and are evenly distributed.

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture where the individual components are not uniformly distributed and can be easily distinguished from one another.

Salt can be separated from water by evaporation, which involves heating the solution until the water turns into vapor, leaving the salt behind.

A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical identity, such as color, shape, and state.

A chemical property is a characteristic of a substance that describes its ability to undergo a specific chemical change, such as reactivity with other substances.

A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that can be physically separated from one another.

A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements chemically bond together in a fixed ratio.

An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. It consists of only one type of atom.

A solution is a homogeneous mixture formed when one substance (the solute) is dissolved in another (the solvent).

The solute is the substance that is dissolved in a solution, typically present in a smaller amount compared to the solvent.
