A list of all chemical substances constituting a mixture is called Mixture composition.

The chemical properties of 
mixtures may differ from those of any constituent components.

Unlike pure substances the mixtures in a state of Thermodynamic equilibrium may see various phases occupy a continuous area in PT Diagram (see for example Vapour Liquid Equilibrium).

Mixtures with two components are called Binary Mixtures and apart from a wide practical value they have a zoomed value in academic studies which allow to help understand and model behaviour of all mixtures.

mixture in a fluid state (liquidgas or supercritical fluid) is called a fluid mixture.

In petroleum industry the most popular mixtures are hydrocarbons and water (H2O).
