The properties of a substance are inherent in that substance, for example steel, but steel can be used to make all sorts of different objects. Each object has its own properties, but the basic property of steel is the same in all of them (for the same grade of steel)
A mixture is composed of substances that are not chemically combined, and which do not have a definite composition. A homogeneous mixture is uniform throughout. A solution is a homogeneous mixture. A heterogeneous mixture is not uniform throughout. Examples of a heterogeneous mixture are granite or beef stew.
physical properties are those that can be seen or measured without changing a material. chemical properties tell how the substance forms new substances when it mixes with something else.
Colloid means something that has properties in between solution and suspension.
1. A solvent and a solute are both parts of a solution.2. The solvent is mostly in majority and, it dissolves a solute in itself to make a solution.
The major difference between a solution and an ordinary mixture is that solution is homogeneous and an ordinary mixture is heterogeneous.
The chemical properties of an object show what a chemical change did to that substance.
Colloidal suspensions are heterogeneous; they necessarily contain more than one substance. You could make one out of two pure substances.
the difference between a solution and a non solution is that a solution is a substance in which all the particals in it have dissolved and mixed completely. a non solution is a substance that still has particals that have not been mixed completely.
A substance is a type of matter with uniform properties, where as a mixture is a type of substance that can be made by mixing a variety of substances together. There are two types of mixtures - homogeneous and heterogeneous.
Use the Tyndall Effect shine a light through it. If the light is scattered then it is colloidal. Both colloids and suspensions are heterogeneous. A solution will not show the beam through it's substance but the colloid will. The particles in the suspension will eventually settle at the bottom, showing that it is NOT a solution.
A colloid.
A mixture has different properties throughout; a pure substance has the same properties throughout.
A solution is a mixture of two or more substances in a single phase. At least two substances must be mixed in order to have a solution. The substance in the smallest amount and the one that dissolves or disperses is called the SOLUTE. The substance in the larger amount is called the SOLVENT. In most common instances water is the solvent. The gases, liquids, or solids dissolved in water are the solutes.A heterogeneous mixture consists of visibly different substances or phases. The three phases or states of matter are gas, liquid, and solid.Daniel Ong's Edit: Please not that although I do not know what the difference between a solution and a heterogeneous mixture is, the answer above is not entirely accurate. A solution can be a mix of two different states.Anyways... This is what I believe to be the differene between a solution and a heterogeneous mixture.To quote wikipedia "A solution is when a homogeneous mixture of one or more substances (the solutes) dissolved in another substance (the solvent)." Albeit simple, this is accurate.Another quote from wikipedia... "Heterogeneous mixtures are mixtures with inconsistent, non-uniform composition."Added Info:A Mixture can be separated by Mechanical means, such as a filter, strainer, etc. A Solution can only be separated by Chemical means.A solution is a homogeneous mixture.
Mechanical mixture: Do not have the same appearance throughout. They are heterogeneous. Mechanical mixtures are also called heterogeneous mixtures. This means that they are made up of many different substances, each with different appearances and properties. Solution: Appears to be the same throughout a sample, but are made up of two or more substances. When you mix one substance in another to form a solution, you dissolve one substance in the other. All solutions are homogeneous mixtures because they look the same throughout even though they are made up of different substances.
