Mixtures
What are mixtures, compounds, and solutions?
Mixtures
Mixtures are two or more subtances mixed together. There are three types of mixtures: solutions, compounds, and mixtures. Mixtures can be homegeneous or heterogeneus. Homogeneous means the materials are blended together. Solutions such as Kool-Aid, salt water, and lemonade are homeogeneous mixtures. Heterogeneous means the materials are different and they stay separate. Mixed chips and nuts are heterogeneous mixtures. Compounds are heterogenous mixtures like water, sugar, and carbon dioxide.
Mixtures
Trail-mix is an example of a mixture because it is made with different foods. This makes it a heterogenous mixture. There no chemical changes. All the food keep or maintain their own chemicals properties.
Compounds
Compounds are heterogenous mixtures of two or more elements. They are difficult to separate. Examples are sugar, water, and salt.
Solutions
Soluation are homogeneous mixtures where the substances are combined evenly.
