How is a homogeneous mixture different from a heterogeneous mixture?

Answer 1

Homogeneous mixtures have uniform composition and properties throughout and are known as solutions. For e.g, when sugar/salt is dissolved in water it forms a solution in which the sugar/salt and water are uniformly mixed (the sugar is dissolved uniformly in water). e.g.air

Heterogenous mixtures are those which aren't uniform in composition and properties throughout e.g. granite which consists of quartz, feldspar and mica and you can identify each of the substances sepaately in the mixture. Heterogeneous mixtures can be suspensions or colloids.

NOTE: None of these mixtures are compounds.

Homogeneous mixtures contain a single phase, whereas heterogeneous mixtures have many phases. ~IHATEe2020~

Answer 2

A homogenous mixture is the same throughout and is called a solution. An example of a homogeneous mixture is salt water. A heterogeneous mixture is not the same throughout. An example is beef stew.

Answer 3

A homogeneous mixture is evenly mixed throughout so you can see what in it. whereas a heterogeneous mixture is not mixed evenly throughout and you can see whats in it

Answer 4

Homogeneous mixtures appear the same throughout, while in a heterogeneous mixture the individual components are visible.

Answer 5

A homogeneous mixture has only a single phase.
