  "term": "Mixing",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The process of combining two or more distinct substances to achieve a uniform distribution of their components throughout the resulting mixture. This operation is performed to reduce heterogeneity within a sample or to prepare a homogeneous solution for analysis. Proper mixing is necessary to obtain a representative aliquot for chemical analysis, thereby minimizing sampling error.",
