Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm learning about chemistry in school, and I was wondering what's the difference between a mixture and a solution.<|im_end|>

A mixture is when you combine two or more substances, and you can still see the individual parts. A solution is when you mix two substances, and one dissolves into the other, so you can't see the individual parts anymore.<|im_end|>

That makes sense. Can you give me an example of a mixture and a solution?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
An example of a mixture is a trail mix with nuts and dried fruit. You can still see the individual nuts and fruit. An example of a solution is sugar water. When you mix sugar into water, the sugar dissolves, and you can't see it anymore.<|im_end|>
