Rule of thumb to use, is if it can settle to the bottom of if it or you have to shake it; it is deffinitly heterogeneous.
Salad dressing is a heterogeneous mixture of oil, vinegar, and various other ingredients.
no it's a heterogeneous mixture
If you can see particles (like spices) in it, it's not a solution.If it separates, it's not a solution.Italian dressing has both those properties, so it's not a solution twice over.
No. Salad dressing is a heterogeneous mixture of oil, vinegar, and various other ingredients.
Cooking oil is an example of a homogeneous mixture, because it has the same consistancy throughout. There is no need to shake it up before using. Shaking is necessary when the contents of a solution settle at the bottom of a solution, such as in Italian salad dressing.
Suspension colliod :)
No, Italian dressing is not a type of true solution. It is a suspension of oils and vinegars with sugar or cornstarch, and chopped peppers that can easily separate if left out.
Yes. It is a compound of several ingredients which eventually separate if left standing for too long.

Italian salad dressing is a mixture of ingredients using a specific recipe to give it its unique flavor.
It depends on the components. If it's a mixture of oil and vinegar then it would be considered a heterogeneous, because the components aren't proportioned. Vinegar is more dense than oil so it will stay at the bottom. But, if it's a mixture like salt and water, then it would be considered a homogeneous because the mixture is a solution.
