Homogeneous mixture
Uniform throughout
Ex.
Air, sugar water
Also called solutions
Heterogeneous mixture
Different throughout
Ex.
Soil, cereal
Impure substance
When one substance in a mixture is preponderant, far exceeds the amount of the other substances in a mixture, the lesser substances are referred to as impurities.
Decantation
Separating a liquid from a solid through gently pouring the liquid from the solid so as not to disturb the solid.
Extraction
Separation of a substance from a mixture by preferentially dissolving that substance in a suitable solvent. Soluble substance separated from insoluble
Sublimation
Process of a solid passing directly to the gaseous state

If a Homogeneous substance does not have a variable composition:
Pure Substance:
- Compound

If a homogeneous mixture has a variable composition:
Homogeneous mixture
i.e. solution
6 Physical Properties
- color
- odor
- density
- melting point
- boiling point
- hardness
Chemical properties
describe the way a substance may change, or react, to form other substances.
intensive properties
do not depend on the amount of sample being examined
ex. density, melting point, etc.
