Best Answer

You decide whether a substance in homogenous or heterogenous by it's appearance. If it looks like it has just one part, it is homogenous. If it looks like it has 2 of more parts, it is heterogenous. An example of a homogenous substance is mouthwash. It looks like it is one substance, a blue liquid.

A pure homogeneous substance will exhibit very specific properties such as melting or boiling points. These properties will be consistent in their results every single time if the substance is truly pure.

A homogeneous substance is one that is composed of more than one substance mixed together that will not unmix under normal conditions. The best example is regular milk. It is composed of different liquids, and solids. The kind we buy at the grocery store is commonly called "Homo" milk. That means that it has been treated to prevent the cream from separating from the milk. It is homogenized.

Is halo halo homogeneous?

No Homogeneous is a term in physical chemistry and material science that refers to substances and mixtures which are in a single phase. This is in contrast to a substance that is heterogeneous. The definition of homogeneous strongly depends on the context used. Generally it refers to smooth variation of properties with no discontinuities or jumps. In Chemistry, a homogeneous suspension of material means that when dividing the volume in half, the same amount of material is suspended in both halves of the substance. However, it might be possible to see the particles under a microscope. An example of a homogeneous mixture is air. Air can be more specifically described as a gaseous solution. Since interactions between molecules play almost no role, dilute gases form rather trivial solutions. In part of the literature, they are not even classified as solutions.

What things must you know to find the density of a material?

To find the density of a material all you need to know is the mass and volume of the substance. if you knw the mas and volume...finding out the density is very simple...all you need to do is mass/volume and you will have the density of that substance!

No, but this is mainly because I don't know what kind of material the name 'rush' stands for.


Why is it not necessary to know the volume of a substance when calculating its density?

If you want to CALCULATE the density of an unknown substance, you need to divide its mass by its volume, so you need to measure both first. If it is a homogeneous (uniform) substance, and you can take away a piece, you can take any sample. Any piece of the substance will have the same density.
