A heterogeneus mixture is not eavenly mixed, different parts are often easy to see. Kool-Aid is a homogeneous mixture. Here's why: In a heterogeneous mixture, the composition of the mixture is not uniform throughout. An exaple of this would be chicken noodle soup. In chicken nooble soup, there is likely to be more chicken in one spoonful than is another spoonful. A compound can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, but once you mix the powder with the water to make Kool-Aid, you can't get the powder back out of the water. An element is something that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, but when you want to get the powder back the only way to do so is through a physical change, which might not even be possible. Therefore, the only other option would be a homogeneous mixture due to the fact that homogeneous mixtures are uniform throughout. By the way, uniform means same through out sample, or evenly spread. And another word for homogeneous mixtures are solutions.
