Question
List two examples of mixtures that involve the combination of substances in different states (solid, liquid or gas). For each example, identify the components and their states.
Solution
Example 1: Saltwater Components: Salt (Solid) and Water (Liquid) In this mixture, salt (solid) is dissolved in water (liquid) to form a homogeneous mixture known as a solution.
Example 2: Fog Components: Water droplets (Liquid) and Air (Gas) Fog is a mixture where tiny water droplets (liquid) are dispersed in air (gas). This is an example of a colloid, a type of mixture where one substance is dispersed evenly throughout another.
