What is the difference of homogenous and heterogenous mixtures?

Hetrogeneous mixture is a type of mixture where the substances are not evenly mixed. Homogenous mixture is type of mixture where two or more substances are evenly mixed on a moleculeral level but are not bonded together.


Which mixtures listed on the activity above are solutions?

Mixtures that are solutions are those in which the particles of the solute are uniformly dispersed in the solvent, creating a homogeneous mixture. In the activity above, the mixtures that are likely solutions would be salt dissolved in water, sugar dissolved in water, and vinegar diluted in water.


How is a compound similar to a homeogeneous mixture?

In the strictest chemical sense a compound is the term for a molecule, a compound of elements. Sugar, salt and water are examples of compounds. As such compounds have the qualities of consistent color, well defined physical properties (such as melting or boiling point). Compounds cannot be separated because they are of a uniform structure. Homogeneous mixtures are similar to compounds only in appearance. Thus a mixture of sugar and salt may not be discernible from samples of either simply by sight. A better example would be to consider a solution of salt and water. Solutions are also homogeneous mixtures. A saline solution is visually indiscernible from water. In a broader definition, any mixture can be referred to as a compound- if the mixture has a consistent appearance, the two are the same.


Distinguish between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures?

the homogeneous materials are-any materials that contains only one phase would be considered HOMOGENEOUS.elements like hydrogen , compound,like sugar ,and solutions like salt,water,are all consederd homogeneous because they are uniform .Each region of a sample is indentical to all other regious of the same sample.AND THE LAST ONE ISheterogeneous- heterogeneous mixture are made of more than one phase and they can be separated phsically.The aforementioned chOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE ,A TOSSED SALAD , SAND AND A BOWL... of raisin bran cereal are all examples of obvoius heterogeneous mixture!!Homogenous mixtures are where the components are in the same physical state, such as oil and water. These are two liquids.Heterogenous mixtures are mixtures where the components are in different physical states, such as coca cola, mixture of water and CO2, liquid and gas.


Is a sample of pure solid chromium is homogeneous?

Yes, a sample of pure solid chromium would be considered homogeneous because it consists of a single element (chromium) uniformly distributed throughout the sample. This means that there would be a consistent composition and properties throughout the material, making it homogeneous.

How do you determine whether a system is a subs or homogeneous mixt?

A mixture is homogeneous if its composition and properties are uniform throughout. A substance is a subset of mixtures, characterized by having uniform composition only. To determine if a system is a mixture or a substance, you would need to analyze its physical and chemical properties for uniformity.


What is a type of mixture in which one substance is dissolved into another?

This would be called a homogeneous mixture or a solution


What is probably a homogeneous mixture?

An example of a physical means would be straining butterfat from milk to make skim milk. Solutions are homogenous mixtures - that is mixtures with evenly distributed substances.


How would you describe the composition of the ocean?

Regarding the composition of ocean water, I would describe it as a homogeneous mixture, or solution.


Do mixtures always have more than one phase Why?

No. Mixtures can be a single phase, such as in the case of salt water. This is a homogeneous mixture. A heterogeneous mixture would have more than one phase.


Explain why the air we breathe and solids such as steel and bronze are solutions or homogeneous mixtures?

haha is this your science homework too lol.--I have the same homework ^-^ Hopefully my answer will help anybody else that's struggling with the same question:Think of a homogeneous mixture similar to salt water. Homogeneous mixtures have a fixed, or uniform composition. This means that each part of the mixture has the same properties. Every part of the sample is identical to the next. The same thing would happen with steel and bronze, they too are uniform throughout.~S

How is a pure substance different from a mixture?

A pure substance is a substance containing only one type of atom or compound, like nitrogen or water. A mixture is a combination of multiple different substances. Homogeneous mixtures, also known as solutions, are mixtures in which the substances are distributed uniformly so that the properties would be the same no matter where you sampled it from. One example would be salt water. Heterogeneous mixtures are combinations in which things aren't mixed evenly and so have different properties when sampled from different places. An example of this would be a box of differently colored Legos or Chocolate Chips mixed with almonds.


Where would you categorize homogeneous and heterogeneous?

This question isn't very clear. An element is made up of the same numbers of protons, neutrons and sometimes electrons. So an element is homogeneous. On the other hand, a mixture of different elements may very well be heterogeneous. Additionally, some elements might react together, unlike homogenous or heterogeneous mixes, to create compounds. If this question said element singular vs. elements plural, then it most definitely would be homogeneous. Also many chemical elements can be considered non-homogeneous because they contain different types of isotopes; but this non-homogeneity is not so important for chemistry.

Are mixed nuts homogeneous or heterogeneous?

No. This would be a heterogeneous mixture, because there are different types of nuts in the bowl.
