Is chunky peanut butter a homogeneous?

Answer 1

Depends in what context you mean "homogeneous". In an economics sense, you could classify "chunky peanut butter" as homogeneous if you wanted it to mean that all batches/brands of chunky peanut butter are essentially "interchangeable". (Whether that's a reasonable statement, I'm not sure. In the UK it is a reasonable assumption since peanut butter isn't really a "big thing" here, in the way that it seems to be in the US. I suspect the US market may feature slightly more brand loyalty than is experienced here...)

If you mean homogeneous in texture, chunky peanut butter is not a homogeneous substance, due to the "chunks". However smooth peanut butter would (or at least, "should", by definition) be homogeneous.

Answer 2

it is homogeneous

This is incorrect. Although it can be both thus the key word is CHUNKY which means particles can be seen therefore it is heterogeneous.

Answer 3

The elements of a peanut butter sandwich, including the peanut butter, jelly, and bread are homogenous. However, when you put the elements together, it creates a heterogeneous mixture.

Answer 4

No. The fact that it is chunky makes it a heterogeneous mixture.

Answer 5

Yes, chunky peanut butter is an excellent example of a heterogeneous mixture.

Answer 6

No, because you can separate the chunks of peanuts from the creamy part of the peanut butter.

Answer 7

Heterogeneous mixture

Answer 8

Homogeneous
