This document discusses mixtures and solutions. It defines matter and explains that mixtures are made of two or more kinds of matter that can be separated using various methods like filtration or evaporation. Solutions are mixtures that form when one material dissolves in another and cannot be separated by filtration. The document provides examples of mixtures like sand and water or iron and sand, and solutions like salt water. It also gives methods for separating different types of mixtures and defines terms like solubility, saturated solutions, concentrated and dilute solutions.
