It can be one of three things--a solution, an emulsion or a suspension.
If one liquid will dissolve into the other, the mixture is a solution. Go to the kitchen and get the cider vinegar out. Put a little bit into water, and you will have a solution because the two liquids won't separate on their own. You could do this with any kind of vinegar, but I chose cider vinegar because it's very inexpensive and a different color than water is. If you tried this with your mom's $25 bottle of balsamic vinegar, she'd go off on you.
You have an emulsion when you can't dissolve one liquid into the other. This you probably don't have to make on your own: Think of Italian dressing. When you get it, the vinegar and spices are at the bottom, the oil's floating on top of it. When you shake it up, the oil will form little globules that will disperse into the vinegar--but let it sit a little while, and the two will separate again. In its shaken form, you have an emulsion.
A suspension is a permanent emulsion. Think of homogenized milk. They make it by shaking milk so hard, the fat breaks into globules so small they can't separate out.
Given this, it's possible to turn an emulsion into a solution through the use of a mutual solvent. You have some oil you'd like to dissolve in water. You know water is extremely soluble in diethylene glycol, and oil is soluble in diethylene glycol, so you put oil, water and DEG into a container. The water will dissolve in the DEG, the oil will dissolve in it, and presto! a solution you couldn't have made any other way! Just keep in mind that DEG is highly lethal to any animal, including a person, who consumes it.

Why is an alloy considered to be a solution?
Alloy - is a homogeneous mixture made of two or more metals.Solution - is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances.now answer it yourself.
What is a heterogeneous mixture?
A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture when two or more substances are mixed together but aren't chemically combined/joined
How do you tell a mixture from a solution?
A solution is a compound, or a mixture and will probably show a slight discoloration or blur.
What are two or more substances that are together but do not combine to form a new pure substance?
A mixture forms when two or more substances combine physically but not chemically.
How are compounds and mixtures similar?
A mixture contain two or more compounds.
A blended mixture of two or more solids liquids and gases is called what?
A blended mixture of two or more solids, liquids, and/or gases is called a heterogeneous mixture.

What mixture contains only liquid ingredients?
This is a mixture of two or more miscible liquids.
How is a mixture different that other liquids?
A mixture is a mix of two of more things. To make it a mixture though you have to be able to separate the two or more things.
Is a mixture of two liquids heterogeneous or homogeneous?
No, it is not two liquids. It is two types of mixtures.
What is it the name for when two liquids mix?
When two liquids mix together and form a uniform solution, it is called a homogeneous mixture or solution. This occurs when the molecules of the two liquids are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Does a mixture always have liquids in it?
No. Air is an example of a mixture of gasses. Brass is an example of a mixture of two solid metals.

homogenous mixtures? miscible liquids? Shayna; Solution?
What mixture of fluids?
What happens when you create a mixture of fluids depends on what the fluids are. In many recipes, two or more liquids are commonly mixed in order to create a delicious treat.
What is the difference between a mixture or a solution?
Mixture refers to a more general cluster of items, including solids. For example a mixture of nuts. However, a solution is more specific and refers to liquids and things that will dissolve in liquids.
How do you predict the density when mixing two liquids?
To predict the density when mixing two liquids, you can use the equation for calculating the final density of a mixture: ρ_mix = (V_1 * ρ_1 + V_2 * ρ_2) / (V_1 + V_2) where ρ_mix is the final density of the mixture, ρ_1 and ρ_2 are the densities of the two liquids, and V_1 and V_2 are the volumes of the two liquids.
Why is cornstarch and water an emulsion?
An emulsion is a mixture of two immiscible liquids. Cornstarch is a solid and this mixture is a suspension.
