The Case of Alloys
Alloys are homogeneous mixtures of metals and cannot be separated into their components by physical methods. Even then an alloy is considered a mixture because : (i) it shows the properties of its constituents, and (ii) it has a variable composition. For example, brass is a homogeneous substance composed of copper and zinc, and cannot be separated into its constituents by physical methods. Brass is considered a mixture because: (i) it shows the properties of its constituents, copper and zinc, and (ii) it has a variable composition (The amount of zinc in brass can vary from 20 to 35 per cent).Before we go further and discuss solutions, suspensions and colloids, please answer the following questions :
