This is an interesting question and the answer is not a simple one word. Mayonnaise is actually a mixture of oil and water but with emulsifier in it, usually egg white. Initially it starts off heterogeneous because there is more than one component and they are both distinct. Under high speed shear, homogenization takes place and the resulting mayonnaise is homogeneous. It is the same with oil and water. It is usually heterogeneous but can be made homogeneous by the addition of an emulsifier, which may be simple soap or detergent, and then High speed shearing.
It is a heterogeneous mixture as it contains visibly different substances. This means that it is made of different substances that remain physically separate.
No. Oil and water would form a heterogeneous mixture. A solution is a homogeneous mixture.
Oil and vinegar dressing is a heterogeneous mixture.
Petrol is a homogeneous mixture of various hydrocarbons (mostly octane, C8H18.)
In a homogeneous mixture all substances are blended or mixed together to form one uniformed substance. In heterogeneous mixtures substances do not blend or mix together and you can visually see two or more items have been mixed together. Water + Oil are a heterogeneous mixture. Water + milk is a homogeneous mixture.
A homogeneous mixture shows no variance in its properties. A heterogeneous mixture shows more than one property. For example, if you were to mix oil and water, the mixture would display two different properties because the oil will separate from the water. In that case you can see more than one property to your mixture, so it is classified as a heterogeneous mixture. In contrast, a homogeneous mixture shows only one property. An example of this is the air your are breathing. The atmosphere is comprised of Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon, Carbon Dioxide and several other gasses including water vapor.
A heterogeneous mixture.
No. Oil and water would form a heterogeneous mixture. A solution is a homogeneous mixture.
homogeneous mixture.
Oil and vinegar dressing is a heterogeneous mixture.
Oil is a heterogeneous mixture. This is because the components of the mixture are not evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
It is homogeneous.
If the sugar does not dissolve it the oil, then it is not
Petrol is a homogeneous mixture of various hydrocarbons (mostly octane, C8H18.)
Yes. Because water and oil molecules won't react with each other. But when any detergent is mixed with this heterogeneous mixture , the heterogeneous mixture will become a homogeneous mixture.
no mixture of oil n water is not homogeneous its heterogeneous because oil flow upward of water when we mix it with water also we can differentiate it.....both look different
It depends on the components. If it's a mixture of oil and vinegar then it would be considered a heterogeneous, because the components aren't proportioned. Vinegar is more dense than oil so it will stay at the bottom. But, if it's a mixture like salt and water, then it would be considered a homogeneous because the mixture is a solution.
The motor oil is a homogeneous mixture even though it is not colorless. I can see an object through a thin layer of oil.
