2. Mixtures can be found
everywhere, and they
may exist in different
states of matte (solid,
liquid or gas). The air
around you is a mixture
of different gases. Other
examples include ice
cubes in a juice drink,
sand and water, salt and
oil.
3. Mixture
Mixture is a physical
combination of pure
substances or another
mixture which substances
retain their distinct
characteristics.
5. Homogeneous Mixtures
- happen when the substances are evenly
distributed. This means that the mixture has a
uniform appearance and that the component
of each individually is no longer visible. They
consist of a single phase, be it a solid, liquid or
gas, no matter how closely you examine them.
7. Heterogeneous Mixtures
- on the other hand is made up of two or more
substances with characteristics that can still be
separated. It is a mixture having a non uniform
composition. All substances keep their original
characteristics and can easily be identified. The
mixture of nail and sand, oil and water, and water
and pebbles are examples of heterogeneous mixture
9. Mixtures are essentials to
one’s daily life. Thus, one
should be aware of the proper
ways of preparing and using
this mixture. Have you
experienced having accidents
during mixing substances at
home? What should you do to
avoid it?
10. Handling and preparing
mixtures at home should
be done with precaution.
Some mixtures at home
like insecticides can cause
harm and other ill effects
such as dizziness when
inhaled.
11. Assessment
Draw a square if the mixture is
homogeneous and a circle if it is
heterogeneous on the space
before the number.
