LESSON: HOMOGENEOUS AND HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURE

COLLOIDS
You will be able to describe the appearance of heterogeneous mixtures.
Specifically, this module will help you to:

• Classify mixtures as homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture

• Describe the characteristics of homogeneous and heterogeneous
mixture
• Identify common examples of solution found at home and describe their

Identify whether the substance is an element or compound:

2. Sugar 4. oxygen
C. BRIEF INTRODUCTION:
Almost everything around us are made up of substances that are
physically mixed together to form a MIXTURE. A mixture is consists of
two or more substances combined together but not chemically ACTIVITY 1.

chemically.
There are two types of mixtures: Homogeneous and Heterogeneous.
They have different characteristics. Homo means the same while
Hetero means different.
EXPLANATION:
Homogeneous mixture is a kind of mixture which is uniform in _____________________________________________________________
appearance in which the individual components of the mixture are not

recognizable. The particles of the components are too small to be
seen. Homogeneous mixture is also called solution. ____________________________________________________________.

The solute is the substance that is being dissolved and is usually present in

in larger amount.
d. The different substances are easily identified.
____2. Which is an example of a homogeneous mixture?
a. Halo-halo c. Sugar solution
b. Mixed nuts d. Sand and water
= sugar solution
____3. A heterogeneous mixture is ________ in appearance.
a. not uniform c. same
b. uniform d. none of the above. Examples of solution we usually found in our home.
____4. Which is not an example of a heterogeneous mixture? Vinegar – it contains water as solvent and acetic acid as the solute.
a. Sand and stones c. mixed veggies Alcohol –it contains water as the solvent and isopropyl alcohol as solute.
b. Choco drink d. fruit salad
Sugar solution – it contains water as the solvent and sugar as the solute.
____5. Which does not belong to the group?
Salt solution – it contains water as the solvent and salt as the solute.
a. Soy sauce and vinegar c. water and ink
b. Oil and water d. water and alcohol Bleach – it contains water as the solvent and sodium hypochlorite as solute.
Dishwater – soap dissolved in water.
Powdered drinks – solid powder dissolved in water.
Water is considered to be the universal solvent because it can dissolve a lot
of different solutes.

materials dissolved in water. Solution is made up of solute that is the dissolved substance in the
mixture and a solvent that is the dissolving medium in a solution.
2.
3. Water is considered as universal solvent since it can dissolve a number
of substances like sugar, salt and coffee.

4. If a solute completely dissolves in a solvent it is said to be soluble.

Sugar mixed with water, powdered juice mixed with water, and salt

Solutes that don’t dissolve in solvent are insoluble.

If two liquids do not mix completely like oil and water, they are
