Is a mixture the same throughout?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

No, a mixture is not the same throughout. In a heterogeneous mixture, the components are not evenly distributed and can be seen as separate phases, while in a homogeneous mixture, the components are uniformly distributed and the same throughout.

Answer 3

Sometimes. A mixture can be a heterogenous (different throughout) mixture, or a homogenous (same throughout) mixture.

Answer 4

No. There are homogeneous mixtures which are the same throughout, like salt water; and there are heterogeneous mixtures that are not the same throughout, like granite.

Answer 5

No. The atoms must be different to be a described as a mixture (you have "mixed" two separate substances together).
