Question

what is a mixture? and type of mixture .what is a solution ?​

Answer 1

Mixture and Types of Mixtures are explained below:

Mixture: When two or more elements are mixed together, but they are not combined chemically, it is called a mixture.

Types of mixtures:

1. Homogenous Mixture: Mixtures having uniform composition throughout are called homogenous mixtures. Example- a mixture of salt and water, a mixture of sugar and water.
2. Heterogeneous Mixture: Mixtures having non-uniform composition are referred to as heterogeneous mixtures. Example- a mixture of oil and water, mixture of salt and sulphur.

Solution is explained below:

• A solution is a type of homogenous mixture in which two parts are present, viz. solvent and solute such that they cannot be seen by the naked eye.
• When one substance is dissolved in another substance, a solution is formed. The substance getting dissolved is solute while the substance in which the substance is dissolved is called the solvent.
• It is not necessary that the solvent is always liquid, it can be solid as well.

• Solutions are stable and they do not exhibit the Tyndall effect.

There are two types of solution as well:

1. Aqueous solution: Solutions prepared by taking water as solvent are known as aqueous solutions.
2. Non-aqueous solution: Solutions in which the solvent is any other substance except water are called non-aqueous solutions.
