Something is homogeneous if it is the same from one location to the next and heterogeneous of the properties change with position in the substance.
A homogeneous mixture is any mixture that shows no separation of components. It is uniform in chemical composition with no physical separation of components.
For example, water and sugar will mix with each other. We say sugar dissolves in water.
Heterogeneous mixtures are mixtures that result from combining things which do not entirely mix. Oil and water do not mix completely and even if the mixture is agitated strongly, the two components will separate.
With oil and water, the separation is rapid and obvious. For many other materials, such as emulsions, the separation is not always rapid and not even necessarily visible. Latex paint is an example.
There isn't a clear line between these to, but you can say that the more tohrougly mixed a mixture is, the more heterogenous it is.
A homogeneous mixture will be of one consistency, it will be uniform in appearance, like salt water. A heterogeneous mixture will NOT be uniform in appearance, like a supreme Pizza.
Homogenous is same state, ie a mixture of two solids
Hetrogeneous is different state I a mixture of a solid and a liquid
In an homogeneous mixture phases are not distinct; in an heterogeneous mixture the situation is inverse.
heterogeneous No, it is HOMOGENEOUS. (edited by Dr. J.)
A homogeneous mixture is one in which all components are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture. In a heterogeneous mixture the components are not evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
It is a Heterogeneous mixture because its not made up of one thing.
One way to decide whether a sample of matter is homogeneous or heterogeneous is just by looking at it.
heterogeneous because you can see that there is more than one thing in the mixture.
one way to tell the difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous is that homogeneous is clear and heterogeneous isn't. by alison the 7th grader
Lead is a chemical element, not a mixture.
heterogeneous No, it is HOMOGENEOUS. (edited by Dr. J.)
Homogeneous mixture since it appears to be as one phase
A homogeneous mixture is one in which the components are uniformly distributed, so that it is the same throughout. A solution is a homogeneous mixture. A heterogeneous mixture is one in which the components are easily distinguishable and are not uniformly distributed. Granite is an example of a heterogeneous mixture.
A homogeneous mixture is one in which all components are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture. In a heterogeneous mixture the components are not evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
It is a Heterogeneous mixture because its not made up of one thing.
A Heterogeneous mixture is one where the mixture is not uniformly equal, meaning that its not the same throughout.A Homogeneous mixture is uniformly equal. The concentration of the mixture is the same throughout.
One way to decide whether a sample of matter is homogeneous or heterogeneous is just by looking at it.
It is an alloy, very probable not homogeneous.
heterogeneous because you can see that there is more than one thing in the mixture.
The two types of mixtures is heterogeneous and homogeneous. Heterogeneous mixtures are two or more substances combined but not chemically. You can see the two substances. Homogeneous mixtures are two or more substance that are chemically combined. You are not able to see the different substances; they appear as one.
