Mixtures and Solutions

What is a mixture?

• A substance made of only one type of atom

• A combination of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded

• A substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances

• A substance made of two or more elements chemically bonded

In a solution, what is the solute?

• The substance that does the dissolving

• The substance that is dissolved

• The mixture of both substances

• The solid particles that settle at the bottom

What is the solvent in a solution?

• The substance that is dissolved

• The substance that does the dissolving

• The solid particles that settle at the bottom

• The mixture of both substances

What is a suspension?

• A mixture where particles are evenly distributed and do not settle

• A mixture where particles are large enough to settle out over time

• A solution where the solute is completely dissolved

• A mixture of gases

What is sediment?

• The liquid part of a solution
