Binary Mixture
A binary mixture is a combination of two different substances mixed together, where each retains its own properties. These mixtures can be liquids, solids, or gases. For example, salt water is a binary mixture of salt and water. The components are not chemically bonded, so they can be separated by physical methods like filtration or evaporation. The proportion of each component can vary, affecting the mixture’s overall properties, such as boiling point or viscosity. Binary mixtures are common in nature and industry, used in processes like chemical manufacturing, food production, and resource extraction.
