Dominic made the table below to organize his notes about mixtures.
Properties of Mixtures
has no set composition
must have more than one state of matter
must have more than one substance
What mistake did Dominic make?
The title should read “Properties of Solutions" because some mixtures do not have all of the properties listed.
There is a definite recipe to make each mixture, so the composition of a mixture is set.
Although it is possible to have more than one state, it is also possible to have only one state.
A single substance can be used to make a mixture if the substance is composed of more than one element.

Imagine that a new planet is discovered with two moons of equal mass: moon a and moon b. the mass of the new planet is greater than the combined mass of its moons. moon a is farther away from the new planet than moon b. what is the planet's gravitational pull on moon a compared to the planet's gravitational pull on moon b? the planet's gravity repels moon a with a greater force than it repels moon b, which is why moon a is farther away. the gravitational pull on moon b is greater than on moon a because moon b is closer to the new planet than moon a. the gravitational pull on moon b is greater than on moon a because moon b is farther away from the new planet than moon a. the gravitational pull on moon a is the same as the gravitational pull on moon b because distance does not affect the planet's gravity.
