Review: Mixtures and Pure Substances
Understanding mixtures and pure substances is crucial in science. A pure substance has
only one type of particle, while a mixture contains two or more. Mixtures can be
homogeneous (uniform) or heterogeneous (visibly different parts). Solutions are
homogeneous mixtures with evenly distributed components, making them hard to
distinguish from pure substances. This review will help you test your knowledge on these
concepts. Read each question carefully and provide the appropriate answers.
1. True or False:
A heterogeneous mixture has components that are evenly distributed and cannot be
distinguished from one another.
( )True ( )False
Solutions are homogeneous mixtures where the solute is uniformly distributed in the
solvent.
( )True ( )False
In a heterogeneous mixture, the components are visibly different and can be separated
by physical means.
( )True ( )False
Pure substances cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical means.
2. Complete the Sentences:
o Fill in the blanks with the correct terms:
a) A ________________________________________ is a type of mixture where you can see the

different parts, such as a salad.
b) A ________________________________________ is a mixture in which the components are

uniformly distributed and you cannot see the different parts.
c) When a solute dissolves in a solvent, it forms a

________________________________________mixture.
d) The process of a solute becoming evenly distributed in a solvent is called

________________________________________.
3. Put in the Correct Place:
Place the following terms in the correct categories: “Heterogeneous Mixture,”

“Homogeneous Mixture,” or “Pure Substance.”
Saltwater Sand and gravel

Water (H2O) Fruit salad
Vinegar Chocolate milk
Air Gold
HETEROGENEOUS HOMOGENEOUS PURE SUBSTANCE

solution.
