Is seawater a homegeneous mixture?

no, a homogeneous mixture is salt water, seawater has other particles in it like sand, bacteria, and other debris that can be seen making it heterogeneous


Is beach sand an example of a homogeneous mixture?

Beach sand is a heterogeneous mixture


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.


What is a heterogenous mixture and a homogeneouis mixture?

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.


Can you separate the two substances salt and sand?

You can't use the same mixture because,a mixture of sand and water is a heterogeneous mixture.In this mixture the particles are not uniform which means they can't desolve into one an other,but the mixture of salt and water is a homogeneous solution because the particles can be desolve into one another to form a solution.

Is salt sand and water a heterogeneous mixture?

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. See related link, below.
