Is Matter Around Us Pure?

Almost nothing in everyday life is chemically "pure" — your air is a mixture, your milk is a colloid, your salt water is a solution. Class 9 Is Matter Around Us Pure? distinguishes pure substances, mixtures, solutions, suspensions, colloids; the Tyndall effect; concentration calculations; and separation techniques with 20+ exam-style problems.
