No, a typical soil sample is heterogeneous.
A homogenous mixture means that all components of the mixture are equally distributed throughout the entire mixture. Soil, then, would not be a homogenous mixture. Every time one takes a sample of a soil mixture and analyzed it, it would have a different make-up then other samples taken from the soil mixture. One would seldom be able to get two samples that had the same make-up.
No, soil is heterogeneous.
No. A mixed sample, by Nature, is heterogenous and so may not also be a homogenous (pure) substance.
