What is a mixture that is not uniform in composition?

Answer 1

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture of things that can be clearly seen as separate. For example, oil droplets in water, peas in a bowl of soup,

Oil in water is also an example of an immiscible solution because the two fluids will not ever mix, you can try to mix oil+water if you shake them vigorously enough and they will then look homogeneous and cloudy for a few seconds, but then they separate again.

A homogeneous mixture is one in which the different components are so thoroughly mixed that they cannot be visibly distinguished. For example, proteins and water in a glass of milk, most acids in water, the air we breath, petrol, to name a few.

What is "visibly distinguishable" in a mixture depends on your point of view of course: at a fine enough magnification all mixtures will seem heterogeneous, and at a coarse enough resolution all mixtures will look homogeneous.

Answer 2

If it is not spread out evenly, it is called a heterogeneous mixture,

Answer 3

Oil and water never mix evenly, because oil is less dense than water and therefore rises to the top.

Answer 4

Heterogeneous mixture is a mixture that does have uniformity throughout.

Answer 5

Heterogeneous mixtures are not uniform throughout. (Homogenous mixtures are uniform)

Answer 6

a HETEROGENEOUS mixture, not a homogeneous mixture.

Answer 7

Tss. Tamad ang naghahalo! Shunga ba yun? Bakit pa sya nag halo Kung di rin naman nya hahaluin ng maayos? Tch. Tinatamad ang tawag dun.

Answer 8

Answer 9
