What is a heterogenous mixture and a homogeneouis mixture?

Answer 1

A homogeneous mixture is uniform in composition (some examples are dissolved salt in water, air, brewed tea or coffee, or wine)

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture that is not uniform (examples include: sand, oil in water, olive oil)

While heterogeneous mixtures have particles that sometimes can be seen under a microscope, the particles of homogeneous mixtures are molecule-sized, causing them to look uniform even under a microscope

Basically, homogeneous means the same all the way through. A solution of dissolved salt is homogeneous. Water with food colouring in it is homogeneous.

Heterogeneous means different. Muddy water is an example of a heterogeneous mixture.

A homogeneous mixture will have the substances in the mixture mixed smoothly, but a heterogeneous mixture will still have some regions of substance distinct in the mixture. Both are mixtures which means they can both be separated.

Answer 2

A homogeneous mixture is a mixture whose compositions is same throughout the mixture, i.e., you cannot observe the different components which make up the mixture. In other words, the components mix up thoroughly.

For example, Sugar or salt solution. In a sugar or salt solution, you cannot see the sugar or salt separately once they are dissolved to make the solution (in other words, mixture). Also, one spoon of that solution will have the same composition as 3 spoons of the same solution.

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture which does not have the same composition throughout the mixture as the components which make up the mixture do not mix completely and can be observed in the mixture. For example, Sand and salt mixture. In a mixture of sand and salt, you can observe or make out which is salt and which is sand. Also, 1 spoon of the mixture may have a lot of sand particles in it whereas the next spoon may have more of salt in it.

Note: The word "Homo" is a word which always suggests "Same" or "Similar" and "Hetero" suggests "different" or "Not same".

Answer 3

Homogeneous, being the same and heterogeneous being different. An example would be grouping students for a class project. If all the A students were in one group, it would be a homogeneous grouping. If there were A, B, C, And D students in the group, it would be heterogeneous.
heterogeneous mixture can be seperated. homogeneous mixture can have a variable composition. example of heterogeneous are sodium chloride,example of homogeneous are salt+water.

Answer 4

Homogeneous mixture has the same proportion of components throughout. and heterogeneous mixturre are not uniform throughout.

Answer 5

a heterogenous is cloudy and homogenous is clear in science atleast

Answer 6

In an homogeneous mixture phases are not distinct; in an heterogeneos mixture the situation is inverse.

Answer 7

In an homogeneous mixture phases are not distinct; in an heterogeneos mixture the situation is inverse.

Answer 8

In an homogeneous mixture phases are not distinct; in an heterogeneous mixture the situation is inverse.
