I am not 100% sure, but i believe variable composition is when the composition of a mixture can vary, or contain different properties, elements/compounds... etc. An example of variable composition would be a heterogeneous mixture, which has no uniform way of being composed. Where as its opposite, a homogeneous mixture, has a set composition of the same properties, elements/compounds... etc. and can be recreated.
