Components of a mixture can be separated due to: • Differing compositions • Distillation • Dissolving • Filtering • Screening
Mixtures may be classified as… Homogenous Heterogenous
Solutions • Solutions are mixtures in which the components have dissolved. Most often they are liquids, but can be gasses or solids.
