Mixtures

When two or more substances mix with each other without


participating in a chemical change, the resulting substance is
called a mixture.
There are two types of mixtures. they are
homogenous mixtures and heterogeneous mixtures
Homogeneous mixture
● If the composition of the
constituents is the same
throughout the mixture, it is
known as a homogeneous
mixture.

Eg. sugar solution, salt solution, air,


ornamental gold.

● All solutions are homogeneous


mixtures.
● Components of these mixtures
cannot be seen seperately with
our naked eye.
Heterogeneous mixtures

● If the components in a
mixture are not distributed
uniformly, it is known as
heterogeneous mixture.
Eg. a mixture of salt and sand,
muddy water, a mixture of water
and kerosene.
● Components can be seen
seperately with our naked
eye.
Crystallisation
When a solute crystal is
placed in a supersaturated
solution, the excess of the
solute crystallises as small
crystals. The crystal can be
seen to grow as well.This is
crystallisation.
