An homogeneous mixture has all parts of the mixture in the same phase. Examples: salty water, air, solutions, alcoholic drinks.
An heterogenous mixture has at least one part in a different phase. Examples: Fog (water in air/gas), smoke (sold in gas)

∙ 13y agoThis question is too vague. However, I would assume that you are talking about catalysis. Homogenous catalyst is when all products, reactants and the catalysts are in the same phase. Heterogenous catalysis is when either products, reactants or catalysts are in different phases.

∙ 12y agoIt is meaningless to ascribe opposite attributes simultaneously to the same substance. There are ways of rationalizing this, for example, something that is heterogeneous on a microscopic scale could be homogeneous on a macroscopic scale. But that is a linguistic trick.
