| homogeneous mixture | the matter in the mixture is the same throughout (uniformly mixed); (ex. salt water, toothpaste) |
| solution | a homogeneous mixture; the most common are solids dissolved in liquids but other states of matter also form solutions |

| filtration | separates a solid from a liquid by pouring through a filter (ex. how coffee is made) |
| evaporation | will separate a solid from the water that the solid is dissolve in; water evaporates and leaves the solid behind usually in the form of crystals; the solvent is lost in the process |
| solvent | a substance that dissolves another substance to form a solution |
| solute | the substance that dissolves to form a solution |
| evaporite | the solid substance left behind when a filtrate evaporates |
