Mixture is a type of mixture in which the components can be seen, as there are two or more phases present. One example of a mixture is air. Air is a homogeneous mixture of the gaseous substances nitrogen, oxygen, and smaller amounts of other substances. Salt, sugar, and many other substances dissolve in water to form homogeneous mixtures. A homogeneous mixture in which there is both a solute and solvent present is also a solution. Mixtures can have any amounts of ingredients. The following table shows the main properties of the three families of mixtures and examples of the three tpes
Equivalent (chemistry) Equivalent (chemistry) An equivalent (symbol: equiv) is the amount of a substance that reacts with (or is "equivalent" to) an arbitrary amount of another substance in a given chemical reaction. It is an archaic unit of measurement that was used in chemistry and the biological sciences in the era before researchers knew how to determine the chemical formula for a compound. The mass of an equivalent is called its equivalent weight. In a more formal definition, the "equivalent" is the amount of a substance needed to do one of the following: By this definition, an "equivalent" is the number of
