A suspension is a mixture between a liquid and particles of a solid. In this case the particles do not dissolve. The particles and the liquid are mixed up so that the particles are dispersed throughout the liquid. They are “suspended” in the liquid. An example of a suspension is a mixture of water and sand.

By definition, a pure substance or a homogeneous mixture consists of a single phase. A heterogeneous mixture consists of two or more phases. When oil and water are combined, they do not mix evenly, but instead form two separate layers.

DIFFUSION. When two liquids or gases are in the same container, the random motion of their molecules makes them mingle together until the mixture is the same throughout. This is called diffusion.

Evaporation is the process by which a liquid turns into a gas.

The easy answer is to lower the surrounding temperature. When the temperature drops, energy will be transferred out of your gas atoms into the colder environment. When you reach the temperature of the condensation point, you become a liquid.

Evaporation

A substance that is dissolved in a solution is called a solute. One best example of solute in our day to day activity is salt and water. Salt dissolves in water and therefore, salt is the solute.

Examples of Solutes An everyday example of a solute is salt in water. Salt is the solute that dissolves in water, the solvent, to form a saline solution. On the other hand, water vapor is considered a solute in air because nitrogen and oxygen are present in much larger concentration levels in the gas.

The solute is the material that is dissolved while the solvent is whatever it is dissolved in. So in the salt water example, the salt is the solute and the water is the solvent. In vinegar, acetic acid is the solute and water is the solvent and in bleach, sodium hypochlorite is the solute and water is the solvent.

Answer Expert Verified Soy sauce’s major component is soy beans which is the solute, and water which is the solvent. Soy sauce is called homogeneous mixture where a solute is completely mixed to solvent.

Answer Expert Verified. Mixing soy sauce and vinegar will result in a homogenous mixture. A homogenous mixture is substances that dissolve completely when combined. Heterogeneous mixtures are substances that retain their physical composition when mixed.

Factors affecting solubility

• Temperature. Basically, solubility increases with temperature.
• Polarity. In most cases solutes dissolve in solvents that have a similar polarity.
• Pressure. Solid and liquid solutes.
• Molecular size.
• Stirring increases the speed of dissolving.

Soy sauce is a condiment made from a fermented paste of boiled soybeans, roasted grain, brine (solution of salt in water), and Aspergillus oryzae or Aspergillus sojae molds. Therefore, water is the main solute in soy sauce.

Answer. Answer: The Solvent is the same in all three cases (soy sauce, Vinegar, and the mixture of both): Water. Water is the liquid in which all the organic and inorganic compounds that give soy sauce and Vinegar their taste and colour are dissolved in.

Although a thin layer of soy sauce is formed at the bottom of the container, soy sauce and olive oil are not clearly separated and are in a suspended form with fine oil particulates forming a thick middle layer.

Ketchup: It’s a solution (solvent = water and vinegar, solute = salt, sugar, etc), and a suspension (the ketchup particles finally sink to the bottom, leaving you with that weird drool on the top). Because the liquid formed when the ketchup settles isn’t cloudy, it’s not a colloid.
