DAY 6

HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURE AND HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURE

Brief Introduction

When you combine two or more substances, you form a mixture. Mixtures are different from
compounds because the mixture doesn’t form a new compound material when blended. The
substances combined in a mixture can be separated into pure elements. The two main categories of
mixtures are homogeneous and heterogeneous. Homogeneous mixtures have a unified or same
composition throughout, while heterogeneous mixtures have an uneven composition.

1
 Objective:

Classify mixtures into uniform (homogeneous) and non-uniform (heterogeneous).

Let’s Recall (Review)

Identify the mixture with uniform appearance by putting a check ( / ) on the blank
before each number.

_____ 1. sand and water

_____ 2. baking soda and vinegar
_____ 3. salt and water
_____ 4. rock and soil
_____ 5. sugar and salt

Let’s Understand (Study the Concept)

Mixtures can be homogeneous. A mixture is homogeneous, or what is commonly

called as a solution, when the materials in the mixture cannot be recognized from one another.
You were able to identify the different components that were mixed because they were not
evenly distributed in the mixture. The components retained their own characteristics. The
mixture produced in this activity is a coarse or heterogeneous mixture.
A heterogeneous mixture is not uniformly mixed. An example is muddy water. In a
mixture of mud and water, the heavier mud particles settle near the bottom of the container, so
the separation of the components is seen.

Let’s Analyze

From the previous activity, you have learned that homogeneous mixture refers to a substance
that is consistent or uniform throughout its volume. They consist of a single phase, be it liquid, gas,
or solid. (Example, air is considered a homogeneous mixture of gases.)

While heterogeneous mixture is a mixture having a non-uniform appearance. The

composition varies from one region to another, with at least two phases that remain separate from
each other, with clearly identifiable properties. If you examine a sample of a heterogeneous mixture,
you can see the separate components. Example banana con yelo.

LESSON 2

CHARACTERISTICS OF HOMOGENEOUS AND HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURES

Brief Introduction

There are two kinds of mixtures. They are homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. Each
kind has its own characteristics. Homogeneous mixture has the same uniform appearance and
composition throughout. A heterogeneous mixture consists of visibly different substances or phases.

4
 Objective:

Describe the characteristics of homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture

Let’s Recall (Review)

Write U for uniform mixture and NU for non-uniform mixture.

_________1. Pork Sinigang

_________2. Rubbing alcohol
_________3. Vinegar
_________4. soda with ice
_________5. Copper wire

Let’s Understand (Study the Concept)

A homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the components that make up the mixture
are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture. The composition of the mixture is the same
throughout. There is only one phase of matter observed in a homogeneous mixture at a time.
So, you wouldn't observe the component parts in a homogeneous mixture.
A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the components are not uniform or
have localized regions with different properties. Different samples from the mixture are not
identical. There are always two or more phases in a heterogeneous mixture, where you can
identify a region with properties that are distinct from those of another region, even if they are
the same state of matter (e.g., liquid, solid).

What is the difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture?

LESSON 3 AND LESSON 4
SOLUTIONS AND THEIR USES

Brief Introduction

Solution is formed when a substance is dissolved in another substance. Solution can be solid,
liquid or gas. It has different components such as solute and solvent and has many uses.

Objectives

1. Identify the common examples of solutions found at home.

2. Define and identify the solute and solvent in a solution.

Let’s Recall (Review)

Write HM for homogeneous and HR for heterogeneous mixture.
___________________1. fruit salad
___________________2. vinegar
___________________3. pizza pie
___________________4. water and oil
___________________5. sugar solution

Let’s Understand (Study the Concept)

In a solution the liquid that does the dissolving is the solvent.

In a solution the solid that dissolves is called solute
A solution is a mixture formed when one or more solutes dissolve in a solvent

7
Uses of solutions in Homes

Water is a solvent is used for drinking , cooking, washing, bathing, cleaning and
dissolving detergents. Household cleaners like bleach are solutions, they help us to make our
houses clean. Soap and detergents are dissolved in water to help us wash our laundry.
Syrups are dissolved in the water to make drinks. Salt, sugar and other condiments are
dissolved in liquids when we cook.

LESSON 5: CONDITIONS THAT AFFECT THE FORMATION OF A MIXTURE

Brief Introduction

Some mixtures are easily dissolved while others are not. Stirring, crushing and temperature
affects the formation of a mixture.

Objective/s:

Infer through simple experiment the conditions (e.g. size of particles, stirring of mixture,
temperature) that affects the formation of a mixture.

Let’s Recall (Review)

Complete the table. Identify the solute and solvent in each of the following solutions.

SOLUTION SOLVENT SOLUTE

1. sugar solution
2. salt solution
3. rubbing alcohol
4. hot chocolate
5. hot coffee

9
 Let’s Understand (Study the Concept)

There are some factors that affect the conditions of a mixture such as

stirring, crushing (size of particles) and temperature.

●Stirring or shaking causes the particles to move faster resulting to greater contact or

even collision of the particles of solute and solvent. When this happens, the solute

dissolves faster. Example: powdered juice and water

●Crushing, cutting or grinding reduces the solute into smaller pieces, resulting in a

decrease in its surface area. When the surface area is smaller, it is easier for the solute to

make contact with the solvent so dissolution is faster. Example: ice and water

●An increase in temperature (heat energy) will result in faster movement of the particles.

When this happens, possibility of contact between the solute and solvent increases thus

results in faster dissolution of the solute in a given solvent.

Example: powdered milk and hot water

Let’s Apply

Combine the following materials in each number to form a solution. Apply and

write the factor/s that affect the condition of a mixture.

1. maggi cubes and hot water
