There are two ways to answer this:

1) Homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures:

a) homogenous mixtures are uniform in their composition throughout (such as an aqueous solution of pure sodium chloride - salt water)

b) heterogeneous mixtures are not uniform in their composition, containing a combination of different substances (such as milk, blood, etc.)

2) Solutions, colloids, and suspensions:

a) solutions:

- are homogenous mixtures;

- have extremely small particle size;

- usually transparent when light is shown through (light does not scatter off particles, due to small particle size)

- Examples: unsaturated/saturated solution of salt water, hydrochloric acid, etc.

b) colloids:

- are typically heterogeneous mixtures;

- have intermediate particle size;

- stay suspended under normal conditions (do not settle out); display the Tyndall effect (scatter light well, due to particle size, such as when you shine a flashlight through a gallon jug of milk, and it illuminates the entire container)

- Examples: milk, aerosols, smoke, mayonnaise

c) suspensions:

- are heterogeneous mixtures;

- have large particle size;

- will eventually settle out of suspension, separating into two or more parts (such as liquid and solid) when not agitated, under normal conditions;

- Examples: muddy water, flour in water, paint, algae in water

Chromatography is the collective term for a set of laboratory techniques for the separation of mixtures. There are many different types of chromatography, with different techniques for separating the mixtures.


What is the Detergent molecular formula?

There is no formula. There are different types of detergent with different compositions. Even then most, if not all detergents are mixtures, and mixtures do not have chemical formulas.


What are the different types of mixtures and definition?

Heterogeneous: You can see the different parts of the mixtures.Ex:) Soil, Cereal, eggs, sand, or saladHomogeneous: You can't see the different parts of the mixture.Ex:) Air, Fruit punch, milk, or chocolate


How are all mixtures the same?

No, there are millions of different possibilities. First of all, there are two types of mixtures, heterogeneous and homogeneous. In heterogeneous mixtures you can observe the different components that make them up. Concrete, jello with fruit salad, sand and iron filings, are examples of heterogeneous mixtures. Sugar water, salt water, Kool-Aid, coffee, tea, copper sulfate solution, Benedict's solution, are examples of homogeneous mixtures and are called solutions. In addition to different examples of mixtures, they can all have different concentrations of their different components.


Can Suspensions may also be called emulsions?

No, suspensions and emulsions are different types of mixtures. Suspensions are mixtures in which solid particles are dispersed in a liquid, while emulsions are mixtures of two or more liquids that are immiscible.


Enumerate and differentiate the kinds of mixture?

There are two types of mixtures: homogeneous and heterogeneous. Homogeneous mixtures have uniform composition throughout and consist of a single phase, like saltwater. In contrast, heterogeneous mixtures have non-uniform composition and can be separated into distinct phases, like a salad with different ingredients.


How do you identify mixtures from a list of different types of matter?

Mixtures are composed of two or more different types of matter that are physically combined, but not chemically bonded. To identify a mixture from a list of different types of matter, look for physical properties like different colors, textures, or states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) that indicate separate substances are present. Additionally, mixtures can often be separated using physical methods like filtration, distillation, or chromatography.


What are six types of mixtures?

Six types of mixtures include solutions (homogeneous mixtures), suspensions (heterogeneous mixtures with visible particles that settle over time), colloids (heterogeneous mixtures with particles that do not settle), emulsions (mixtures of liquids that usually do not mix together), alloys (mixtures of metals), and gels (mixtures with a solid dispersed in a liquid).


What are the types of mixture?

Solutions and colloids are homogeneous mixtures. The components of a homogeneous mixture are too intimately combined to be distinguished from one another by visual observation. A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture. The particles in a heterogeneous mixture are coarse enough to be distinguished by visual observation. Alloys are mixtures of metals and may be either homogeneous or heterogeneous.p.s. Justin bieber is so hot


Two types of mixtures?

The two types of mixtures is heterogeneous and homogeneous. Heterogeneous mixtures are two or more substances combined but not chemically. You can see the two substances. Homogeneous mixtures are two or more substance that are chemically combined. You are not able to see the different substances; they appear as one.


How can you tell the difference amoung types of mixtures?

Mixtures may be homogeneous or heterogeneous.
