Yes. A heterogeneous mixture is one that lacks uniformity. When salt water (a homogeneous mixture) and sand are placed in the same container, the sand sinks to the bottom and the salt solution remains, largely, above the sand, demonstrating the characteristic lack of uniformity.

Would a mixture of salt sand and water be heterogeneous?

Yes


Is mixture of sand and salt classify as heterogeneous or homogeneous?

Sand+salt: a heterogeneous mixture.


Is salt and sand homogenous or heterogenous?

Sand and salt are heterogeneous because you can clearly see the particles and you can't see through them no matter the density.


To make salt water a heterogeneous mixture you would have to do what?

To make salt water a heterogeneous mixture, you could add an immiscible substance such as oil or sand to the water with salt. This would create two distinct phases that do not mix evenly, resulting in a heterogeneous mixture.

What happens when a small amount salt and sand mixes with water?

When salt and sand mix with water, the salt dissolves in the water to form a solution, while the sand remains suspended. This allows the sand to be separated from the salt solution through methods such as filtration or evaporation, as the saltwater can be boiled off to leave the salt behind.

Is sandy water an element or a compound or an homogeneous mixture or an heterogeneous mixture?

It is heterogeneous because the sand is not dissolved in the water. Apparently, the sand is still visible from the outside, unlike perhaps salt water in which the salt can no longer be seen.


Is sand in water a element compound heterogeneous or a homogeneous?

Sand in water is a heterogeneous mixture. The sand does not dissolve in the water, and the two components can be visibly distinguished.


Would salt and sand combine into a solution?

No, salt and sand do not combine to form a solution. A solution is a homogeneous mixture where the solute (salt) dissolves into the solvent (water) to form a single phase. In the case of salt and sand, they would form a heterogeneous mixture where the components remain separate and can be easily separated by physical means such as filtration.


Is sand with shells homogeneous or heterogeneous?

Sand with shells is a heterogeneous mixture because it contains different components (sand and shells) that are visibly different and can be separated easily. In a homogeneous mixture, the components are evenly distributed and not easily distinguishable.


Which of the following is a homogeneous mixture a salt water b beef stew c sand and water d soil?

Salt water. Homogeneous means that you can't see the particles
