Unit 4.1 Types of Mixtures

1. A mixture is a pure substance made up of only one substance

   • A solution is when a substance dissolves into another, forming a clear liquid
     • A solute is a substance that dissolves to make a solution when it's mixed into another substance
     • A solvent is a substance that dissolves another substance

2. When a liquid is soluble that means it's able to be dissolved

3. A solution which is classified as concentrated means there is alot of solute in the solvent

   • The term dilute is used to describe when there is little solute in the solution
     • Types of Suspension
       • Solid suspended in a liquid
       • Solid suspended in a gas
       • Liquid suspended in another liquid
   • Types of Solution:
     • Gases dissolved in another gas.
     • A solid dissolved in a liquid
     • Liquid dissolved in another liquid
     • Gas dissolved in a liquid

4. When as much as a substance can be dissolved that is when it is saturated

   • A suspension is when a substance will not dissolve in another and quickly separates out and is left to stand on its own
   • When particles spread out without dissolving this is known as disperse

5. A substance is insoluble when it doesn't dissolve in a particular solvent

   • A solution is aqueous when water is its solvent
