Examples Of Mixtures
Mixtures can be found everywhere. Any two or more items that are combined can be a mixture. The different parts of a mixture can be separated out into their individual parts.
Common Mixtures of Food

Other Common Mixtures
- Smog (smoke + fog)

- Cement (sand + water + gravel)
- Dirty snow (water + dirt)
- Ocean water (water + salt)
Alloy Mixtures
While virtually any two items combined together, that can then be taken back apart through some physical means, can be a mixture, some of the most important mixtures are strong metals called alloys. These special metals are a mixture of two metals that are combined together to strengthen them.
Here is a list of alloys:
- Al-Li (aluminum + lithium + sometimes mercury)
- Alnico (aluminum + nickel + copper)

- Cupronickel (nickel + bronze + copper)
- Cymbal alloys (Bell metal) (copper + tin)
- Devarda’s alloy (copper + aluminum + zinc)
