Question

Define and describe a mixture using examples.

Answer 1

A mixture is a substance consisting of two or more substances mixed together. A mixture can be homogeneous, meaning a mixture that is the same through out and evenly mixed. A homogeneous mixture can be a mixture of salt and water or isopropyl alcohol and water. A mixture can also be heterogeneous, meaning a mixture made up of more than one phase or of different parts and can be separated physically. A heterogeneous mixture can be a tossed salad or a bowl of raisin bran cereal.

Answer 2

Answer: A mixture is a substance formed by two or more substances "mixed" together.

There is two types of mixtures:

Homogeneus: meaning a mixture that is the same through out and evenly mixed. A homogeneous mixture can be a mixture of salt and water (fully diluted).

heterogeneous: meaning a mixture made up of more than one phase or of different parts and can be separated physically, for example a glass of juice with some ice on it.
