Homogenous because when tapwater is cleaned for our safe drinking the chemicals used are little amounts and can completely dissolve into the water which therefore the same liquid is throughout all of the water and makes homgenous - homo meaning the same.
Why is distilled water a compound while tap water a mixture?
Distilled water is also known as Pure water, with a chemical formula of H2O. Lets begin with the definition of compounds and mixtures. Compounds are formed chemically from elements and/or compounds. Mixtures are formed when elements and/or compounds are mixed together physically. Since distilled water only contains H2O, it is known as a compound. However, tap water contains other minerals and chemicals besides H2O, even though it holds the highest % in the mixture. In tap water, the formula of water is still H2O, but there are other substances as mentioned. Hope i helped :)
