CHARACTERISTICS OF MIXTURES




Ideally, a mixing process begins with the components, grouped together in some container, but still separate as pure components. Thus, if small samples are taken throughout the container, almost all samples will consist of one pure component. The frequency of occurrence of the components is proportional to the fractions of these components in the whole container.
As mixing then proceeds, samples will increasingly contain more of the components, in proportions approximating to the overall proportions of the components in the whole container. Complete mixing could then be defined as that state in which all samples are found to contain the components in the same proportions as in the whole mixture.
Actually, this state of affairs would only be attained by some ordered grouping of the components and would be a most improbable result from any practical mixing process.

Another approach can then be made, defining the perfect mixture as one in which the components in samples occur in proportions whose statistical chance of occurrence is the same as that of a statistically random dispersion of the original components. Such dispersion represents the best that random mixing processes can do.
