Mixtures
A mixture is a substance which consists of two or more elements or compounds not chemically combined together. For example, air is a mixture of gases like oxygen, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide and water vapour, etc. The various gases of the air are not chemically combined with one another. Similarly,gunpowder is a mixture of potassium nitrate, sulphur and charcoal (charcoal is a form of carbon), whereas brass is a mixture of copper and zinc. All the solutions are mixtures. For example, salt-solution (brine) is a mixture of common salt (sodium chloride) in water. Please note that the various substances present in a mixture are known as "constituents of the mixture" or "components of the mixture". Some of the examples of mixtures are : Air, Gunpowder, Brass, Salt solution, Sugar solution, Milk, Sea-water, Ink, Kerosene oil,Petrol, Petroleum, Lime-water, Paint, Glass, Coal, Soil, Wood, Blood, Starch solution, Soap solution, Iron and sulphur mixture, Dyes, Alcohol and water, Petrol and water, Chalk-water mixture, Soda water, Soft drinks. Lemonade, Vinegar, Muddy river water, Flour in water. Milk of Magnesia, Butter, Cheese, Face cream, Shaving cream, Hair spray, Smoke, Fog and Mist.
