How is a mixture different from a solution??



Answer:
A mixture is any 2 or more materials put tgether, they do not need to be stirred. We do not know how much there is of any part. A mixture can be separated physically.

A solution is a special mixture where the parts are dissolved in each other and distributed equally. A solution can be any 2 states of matter. A solution can be sparated physically, no chemical reaction takes place. It is homogeneous which means the same all the way through. The particle size is not visible with a microscope, it will not settle out.
a solution is a mixture in a soluble substance (liquid-like).

a mixture can be a dry mixture.
A solution implies that all of the solid has dissolved in the solute, or that one liquid has dissolved in another to form a diluted solution.

A mixture, on the otherhand may or may not be a solution and may or not involve a liquid or a solid.
A mixture is a physical change. (Physical change is where the atoms aren't completely changed or different.) So lets say I put cereal and milk in a bowl. I can still part the cereal from the milk. A solution is a chemical change.(Chemical change is where the atoms combine a whole different substance.) If I put salt in water, I would not be able to part them from one another. Hope that helps! :-P
a solution is created when a chemical reaction takes place and the two thing you just mixed can't be seperated without a chemical reaction...a solution also has certain amount of things it has to be combined in...a mixture is pretty much the exact opposite
in a mixrue the two substances are not dissolved and in a ssolution all of the substances are dissolved.
