How do homogeneous mixtures differ from heterogeneous mixtures where does the compound table salt fit into the description?

Answer 1

A homogeneous solution is a solution without interfaces (a particle with visible sides/something floating around that is not completely saturated) that is not opaque. A heterogeneous solution is a solution with interfaces. A colloid is a solution that has no interfaces but is opaque. Saltwater (with the salt completely dissolved) is a homogeneous solution; water with sand mixed in is heterogeneous because it will eventually separate and the sand has interfaces: and skim milk is a colloid because it is opaque but has no interfaces.

Answer 2

Homogeneous mixtures have uniform composition throughout, while heterogeneous mixtures have distinct visible components. Table salt dissolved in water forms a homogeneous mixture because the salt particles are evenly distributed in the water, creating a uniform composition. In its solid form, table salt is a pure substance and not a mixture.

Answer 3

Well, when we talk about mixtures, homogeneous ones are the same throughout, like a well-stirred cup of coffee. Heterogeneous mixtures have different parts you can see, like a tossed salad. Now, table salt, being a uniform blend of sodium and chlorine ions, dissolving completely in water, would be an example of a homogeneous mixture. It's all about finding harmony in the blending of elements, just like when we paint a happy little scene.
