Sand is a mixture (but it is important to mention that some times sands formed from silicon dioxide, calcium carbonate, lava, shells may be not considered as mixtures); sands may be homogeneous but also heterogeneous.

Is wet sand heterogenous or homogenous?

Wet sand is considered heterogeneous because it contains a mixture of different-sized particles that are not uniformly distributed.


Is pure water an element a compound a solution or a heterogeneous mixture?

It's a compound. H2O - Two hydrogen atoms, one oxygen atom Water is a compound as it can be reduced to simpler elements (Oxygen and water).It is a homogenous mixture("the same") as it is uniform throughout. E.g: Salt and sand mixed together would be a heterogenous mixture("different") as you can distinguish between sand and salt. A pure 'mixture' is usually homogenous, especially liquids.

The purest sand is a compound, silicon dioxide. Most ordinary sand, however would contain some other materials and could be either a homogeneous or a heterogeneous mixture.


Suppose all the grains in a sample of sand were exactly the same size Could the sample still be a heterogenous mixture?

No because the pieces of sand were the same so that would be a homogenous mixture. Heterogenous mixtures are noticeabley different from one another. Thank you very much :)

What is a homogeneous and hetrogeneous mixture?

A homogenous mixture is one containing a number of particles of the same substance, while a heterogenous mixture contains particles of different substances. For example, a handful of sand would probably be considered a homogenous mixture because it only contains sand particles, while a handful of mud would be a heterogenous mixture because it contains particles of dirt, water, sand, rocks, etc.
