How is a heterogeneous mixture different from a homogeneous mixture?
Wiki User
∙ 7y ago
Homogeneous mixtures have uniform composition and properties throughout and are known as solutions. For e.g, when sugar/salt is dissolved in water it forms a solution in which the sugar/salt and water are uniformly mixed (the sugar is dissolved uniformly in water). e.g.air
Heterogenous mixtures are those which aren't uniform in composition and properties throughout e.g. granite which consists of quartz, feldspar and mica and you can identify each of the substances sepaately in the mixture. Heterogeneous mixtures can be suspensions or colloids.
NOTE: None of these mixtures are compounds.
Homogeneous mixtures contain a single phase, whereas heterogeneous mixtures have many phases. ~IHATEe2020~

∙ 11y ago"hetero" means different; "homo" means same. Heterogeneous mixtures are things like salad dressing - you can easily discern between 2 distinct parts of the mixture. Things like saline are homogenous - the water, sodium and chloride are evenly dispersed throughout the mixture and are not readily recognized or separated.

∙ 11y agoA heterogeneous mixture is one where the parts of the mixture are visible. If you can see what makes it up, it's heterogeneous. It is not a pure substance. Example: salsa, granite.
A homogeneous mixture is one where it looks smooth all the way through. If it looks consistent throughout, it's homogeneous. It is a pure substance. Example: milk, steel.

∙ 16y agoHomogenous mixtures are so evenly mixed you cant see the different parts.
Heterogenous mixtures you can see the different parts.

& a homogeneous is the "well mixed!"

∙ 11y agoA homogenous mixture is the same through out. A good example would be salt water. A heterogenous mixture is not uniform through out. An example would be a jar of rocks and marbles.

∙ 15y agohetero means that the parts of the mixture are different in some way from each other, as where homo means that the parts of the mixture are the same or very similar.

∙ 12y agoHeterogeneous mixtures differ in the concentration of a substance through the mixture as homogeneous mixtures are uniform throughout.

Is a popsicle a heterogeneous?
A popsicle is not a heterogeneous mixture but a homogeneous mixture. This is because a popsicle is the same all throughout.
Is sea water a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?
Sea water is a homogeneous mixture because only one phase can be seen when you look at it (similar to homogenized milk).
Is popsicle a compound or heterogeneous mixture or homogeneous mixture?
A homogeneous mixture is one that's uniform in composition, though not necessarily at every level. At the base level of observation, a popsicle could be considered homogenous, as it is a single block of flavored ice. However, smaller in scale, popsicles are more likely to be heterogenous, due to the mixing of flavor and water not necessarily being purely arranged.
What is the difference between a homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures in a diagram?
The difference is that in a diagram that is heterogeneous there are many different shapes in the diagram, whereas in homogeneous diagrams all the shapes in the diagram are exactly the same.
Is muddy water homogeneous or heterogeneous?
Muddy water is heterogeneous because the mud and water are separate, plus the mud is made up of different things.
Is potato salad an homogeneous mixture or heterogeneous mixture?
hetergeneous
How heterogeneous and homogeneous mixture different?
homogeneous-- looks same throughout heterogeneous- can be separated by hand
Is brass a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?
heterogeneous mixture
Is a sandwich a homogeneous or a heterogeneous mixture?
Heterogenous
What is the different shape of mixture?
heterogeneous and homogeneous is not the same so the substance is homogeneous and the mixture is heterogenous..
Is bleach and water a heterogeneous mixture?
Bleach is not heterogeneous. Bleach is actually homogeneous. Heterogeneous is if it the same throughout. Homogeneous is if it is different (has chunks and clumps of different materials).
Is salad dressing a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?
Salad dressing is a heterogeneous mixture.
What is a mixture made of different materials that can be easily separated is called?
compound. B. substance. C. heterogeneous. D. homogeneous.
Different homogeneous and heterogeneous system?
A homogeneous mixture (system) is a mixture where its components are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture.A heterogeneous mixture (system) is a mixture where its components are not uniform or have localized regions with different properties.
Is a banana a homogeneous or heterogeneous?
it is homogeneous because you mix it and you blend it
What is lasagna heterogeneous or homogeneous?
heterogeneous
Is mayonnaise à homogeneous?
a heterogeneous mixture is a mixture where you can see the different parts in it. So unless you have some very odd mayo, it is not heterogeneous. : ) (So the answer is homogeneous)
