It is homogeneous. Look up the two words in the dictionary and then decide if you agree.

---------------------------

But if you think to many insoluble organic (including living organisms) or inorganic particles the ocean water can be considered as non homogeneous.

---------------------------

With regard to the last sentence, the insoluble organic material that you are suggesting might cause one to consider it non-homogeneous.... the insoluble material is not ocean water. It's insoluble material. The ocean water and all of its dissolved minerals is rather homogeneous You could argue the point that the salinity varies greatly making it non-homogeneous if you take a look at the whole ocean. But a glass of ocean water is, in my opinion, homogeneous as I think it fits the definition well.

Is fresh water homogeneous or heterogeneous?

A river is heterogeneous, because it has several different substances, such as broadly silt and fish (if you're thinking about it like that) or it is also contained, H20, O2, substances like that so either way it is heterogeneous.


Is fish sauce a mixture?

Well, honey, fish sauce is actually a condiment made from fermented fish and salt. So technically, it's not a mixture in the traditional sense, but more of a concoction. But hey, whether you call it a mixture or not, just remember it's the secret ingredient that makes your stir-fry pop!

What is Pasteur's salt?

Will a tank full of water and a tank filled with water and fish swimming weigh the same on a scale?

That depends on the weight of the fish as compared to the weight of the water their bodies displace. If it's a heavy, dense fish, then the tank with the fish would weigh more. If it's a light, less dense fish, then the tank with water only would weigh more. This assumes that the water displaced has been removed from the tank, right? If you are adding the fish to the water then I think it should increase the weight regardless of the density of your fish. The question then might be, does the fish weigh less when it is swimming than it would on a dry scale?

Is a pond a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?

A pond could be a heterogeneous mixture because more than one substance would be visible. Example: you could see fish, plants, algie, bugs, chemicals, and other substances in the water. But, a pond could also be a homogeneous mixture because the water could be totally clear, or the water could be so dirty that you would only see a green or brown murky substance.


Is a fish tank with water inside a mechanical mixture?

No, a fish tank with water inside is not a mechanical mixture. It is a homogeneous mixture because the water and any additives are evenly distributed throughout the tank.

Is sea water an element compound or mixture?

Sea water is a mixture because it is composed of various substances, such as water, salts, minerals, and other dissolved organic and inorganic materials. It is not a pure substance like an element or compound, as it consists of different components that can be physically separated.

Do Atlantic and pacific oceans mix together?

yes, I'm the one who asked this question and i have come to the conclusion that it is a mixture because there is like they say a Lot of fish in the sea and of course you can see the different animals and plants and such


Is the pacific ocean a pure substance?

No it is not. A pure substance is one that can only be broken down by chemical means. Because the ocean is made up of different things (salt, water, other minerals, fish, etc.) that can be physically broken down (by evaporation for example), it is not a pure substance. Pure substances are classified as either Elements or Compounds. The ocean is a Mixture. Some would classify it as a Heterogeneous mixture because of the seaweed and fish and whatnot in it. The water in the ocean itself is a Homogeneous Mixture (also known as a Solution).
