Mixtures
Subjects / Additional Science / AQA Additional Science
Solid, liquid and gas are the three states of matter, and mixtures of them can be formed in a variety of ways. The simplest kind of mixture is a solution. The solid disappears because it is broken up into particles that are too small to be seen. We can measure how much solid dissolves in a certain mass of liquid. This is called the solubility. In a suspension, the particles are small enough so that they don't settle out as sediment but are just large enough to be seen. A suspension is one kind of colloid. Colloids are substances that have mixtures of states. A jelly has some properties like a solid and some like a liquid. Some very useful materials are mixtures. These include emulsions, solutions and alloys. We will consider the various types of mixtures in this title.

- identify examples of mixtures with one substance finely mixed with another, for example: aerosols as a liquid in a gas
- identify examples of mixtures with one substance finely mixed with another, for example: emulsions as one liquid in another
- identify examples of mixtures with one substance finely mixed with another, for example: foams as a gas in a liquid
- identify examples of mixtures with one substance finely mixed with another, for example: gel as a liquid in a solid
- identify examples of mixtures with one substance finely mixed with another, for example: solutions and suspensions as examples of a solid in a liquid
- identify the states of matter that make up examples of these mixtures
- recall a use for one example of each type of mixture
- recognise that the substances in the mixture may be solids, liquids or gases
- state that a colloid consists of one substance (or mixture of substances) finely dispersed in another substance (or mixture of substances)
- state that many materials we use consist of one substance finely mixed with another
- use the terms disperse phase and continuous phase to describe colloids
