  2. Mixture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixture

    [8] [9] Mixtures differ from chemical compounds in the following ways: The substances in a mixture can be separated using physical methods such as filtration, freezing, and distillation. There is little or no energy change when a mixture forms (see Enthalpy of mixing). The substances in a mixture keep their separate properties.

  3. Solution (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_(chemistry)

    Making a saline water solution by dissolving table salt in water.The salt is the solute and the water the solvent. In chemistry, a solution is defined by IUPAC as "A liquid or solid phase containing more than one substance, when for convenience one (or more) substance, which is called the solvent, is treated differently from the other substances, which are called solutes.

  4. Liquidus and solidus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquidus_and_solidus

    For pure elements or compounds, e.g. pure copper, pure water, etc. the liquidus and solidus are at the same temperature, and the term melting point may be used. There are also some mixtures which melt at a particular temperature, known as congruent melting. One example is eutectic mixture. In a eutectic system, there is particular mixing ratio ...

  5. Chemical substance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_substance

    While the term chemical substance is a precise technical term that is synonymous with chemical for chemists, the word chemical is used in general usage to refer to both (pure) chemical substances and mixtures (often called compounds), [14] and especially when produced or purified in a laboratory or an industrial process.

  6. List of purification methods in chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_purification...

    Electrolysis refers to the breakdown of substances using an electric current. This removes impurities in a substance that an electric current is run through; Sublimation is the process of changing of any substance (usually on heating) from a solid to a gas (or from gas to a solid) without passing through liquid phase. In terms of purification ...

  7. Solid solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_solution

    Some mixtures will readily form solid solutions over a range of concentrations, while other mixtures will not form solid solutions at all. The propensity for any two substances to form a solid solution is a complicated matter involving the chemical , crystallographic , and quantum properties of the substances in question.

  8. Miscibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscibility

    Miscibility (/ ˌ m ɪ s ɪ ˈ b ɪ l ɪ t i /) is the property of two substances to mix in all proportions (that is, to fully dissolve in each other at any concentration), forming a homogeneous mixture (a solution). Such substances are said to be miscible (etymologically equivalent to the common term "mixable").

  9. Separation process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_process

    A separation process is a method that converts a mixture or a solution of chemical substances into two or more distinct product mixtures, [1] a scientific process of separating two or more substances in order to obtain purity. At least one product mixture from the separation is enriched in one or more of the source mixture's constituents.
