Front

What is a heterogeneous mixture?

Back

A mixture where the components are not uniformly distributed and can be easily distinguished.

Front

What is the difference between a pure substance and a mixture?

Back

A pure substance has a uniform and definite composition, while a mixture contains two or more substances that retain their individual properties.

Front

What is solubility?

Back

Solubility is the ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature.
