An alloy is considered a homogeneous mixture because by definition, a homogeneous mixture has the same uniform appearance and composition throughout. Since an alloy is a mixture of two or more metals, or a mixture of a metal with some other element, and these mixtures are uniform throughout, they fit the definition of being homogeneous.

∙ 12y agobecause alloys are mixtures of metals simple, example; ZA27 is a exact mixture of 70% zinc 27%aluminum and 3%copper. its like making brownies you have your liquids and you mix them till theyre combined and sometimes your solids (copper melts alot higher then zinc or aluminum) combining your liquid heated molten metals with solid but heated metals the liquid dissolves the solid and alloys with it. just like making brownies if you think about it,
Hope this helps

Is 14 carat gold an element or compound?
Gold is very inert. And, if you look at the electron state, I believe the gold electrons are not being shared with other elements in the alloy. Thus it would be considered a "mixture".
Why is an alloy considered to be a solution?
Alloy - is a homogeneous mixture made of two or more metals.Solution - is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances.now answer it yourself.
Is an alloy a pure substance of mixture?
Mixture. An alloy is a mixture of metals.
What is a type of mixture in which one substance is dissolved into another?
This would be called a homogeneous mixture or a solution
Is salt water pure substance or homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?
Homogeneous mixture
Is brass a hetergeneous mixture or homogeneous?
Brass is a homogeneous mixture called an alloy.
Is penny a element compound mixture homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?
It is made of a homogeneous mixture of copper and zinc, called an alloy. An alloy is a mixture of metals.
Is bronze a hetergeneous or homogeneous mixture?
Bronze is a homogeneous mixture of metals called an alloy.
Is dime a element compound mixture homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?
A dime is composed of a metal mixture called an alloy, which is a homogeneous mixture. The metal alloy that makes up a dime is a mixture of copper and nickel.
Is brass an element or a compound or a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?
Brass is a homogeneous mixture because it is an alloy consisting of copper and zinc. Alloys are made from combinations of different metals. Homogeneous mixtures are uniform in their compositions.
Is bronze homogeneous or heterogeneous?
Bronze is a homogeneous mixture (alloy) of mainly copper and tin.
Is 14kt gold homogeneous or heterogeneous?
No. It is a homogeneous mixture. Specifically an alloy.
Is steel homogeneous or heterogeneous pure substance or mixture?
steel is a homogeneous mixture because it is an alloy.
Is a steel a homogeneous or mixture?

Why is Alloy considered to be a Solution?
Alloy - is a homogeneous mixture made of two or more metals.Solution - is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances.now answer it yourself.
Is bronze an element or a compound or a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?
Bronze is an alloy. I've never heard of classifying metals as homogeneous or heterogeneous. If I had to put it in one, well it's definitely not heterogeneous, because that would consist of a mixture of dissimilar components. An alloy has a uniform 'mixture' of elements, so I guess that would make it homogeneous!
