Heterogeneous materials can be separated as they are made from separate components. Oil and vinegar salad dressing is an example of heterogeous product.
Looks the same, homogenous, like pancake batter, looks different like a salad, heterogenous
Salad dressing is a heterogeneous mixture of oil, vinegar, and various other ingredients.
Heterogenous. If left alone for a while the oil will separate from the vinegar and some of the spices will either float or sink to the bottom. Homogenous means the substance is the same throughout, always.
Oil is a heterogeneous mixture. This is because the components of the mixture are not evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
It is necessary to shake an oil and vinegar salad dressing before adding it to a salad because they separate easily.
Vinegar and oil will separate. Shaking it mixes them together.
Oil and vinegar are not miscible.
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.
no
Oil and vinegar are a mixture. After a while they will separate.
Nope. Its not a homogenous mixture. Homogenous mixtures are uniform throughout, and the parts do not separate from each other. Have you ever looked at Italian dressing (which has vinega and oil in it) after you let it sit in your fridge for any length of time? You can see the oil separate from the rest of the dressing.
Oil and vinegar dressing is a temporary emulsion. When the dressing sits for a while the oil and vinegar separate from each other. If you were to put this on the salad it would taste pretty disgusting because it would be entirely oil. So to avoid this, you shake the dressing and then add it to the salad so that the oil and vinegar is combined and it creates a good flavour.
