This document defines and provides examples of homogeneous, heterogeneous, and concentrations in mixtures. A homogeneous mixture has all parts evenly distributed with no visible individual components, like soda. A heterogeneous mixture is the opposite, with components not evenly spread and visible throughout, like trail mix. Concentration refers to the amount of a substance mixed with another, with the solvent dissolving the solute, and higher concentrations containing larger amounts of solute.

2. Homogeneous
A mixture where all parts are evenly distributed
A uniform mixture
Soda is an example because you can not see any individual
components of the drink, they are uniformly spread

3. Heterogenous
Opposite of a homogeneous mixture
Components of a mixture are not spread evenly, they are
visible throughout
Trail mix is an example because you can see the separate nuts,
raisons, seeds, etc.

4. Concentrations
Definition- the amount of how much of a substance is mixed
with another
Must know the solvent (dissolves other substances) and the
solute (is dissolved by the solvent)
A mixture with a larger amount of solute has a higher
concentration
