What type of mixtures are these?

Groups:

(a) Muddy Water

,

(b) Butter

,

(c) Air that we breath

,

(d) Kool-aid mixed in water

• Homogeneous Mixture

• Suspension

• Heterogeneous Mixture

• Colloid

The air we breathe is a (a)   ?

Answer explanation

The air we breathe is a mixture of gases, primarily nitrogen and oxygen, along with trace amounts of other gases. This composition makes it a mixture rather than a single substance.

Match the following

• A mixture that is uniform in composition throughout

• Heterogeneous mixture

• A mixture that has a non-uniform composition

• Mixture

• A substance made of two or more elements chemically bonded together

• Homogeneous mixture

• A pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances

• Compound

• A combination of two or more substances that retain their individual properties

• Element

This (a)   cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction but it can change to a different form.

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'matter' because it is a fundamental concept in chemistry that states matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, although it can change forms, such as from solid to liquid.

Give 10 examples of suspensions

This type of (a)   mixture has visibly different parts that can be seperated by physical means?=.

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'heterogeneous' because it describes a mixture with visibly different parts that can be separated by physical means, unlike homogeneous mixtures which are uniform throughout.
