Of course an ocean water is a mixture; and because are 3 phases is a heterogeneous mixture.

Is a salt water fish tank a heterogeneous mixture or a homogeneous mixture?

It is homogeneous. Look up the two words in the dictionary and then decide if you agree. --------------------------- But if you think to many insoluble organic (including living organisms) or inorganic particles the ocean water can be considered as non homogeneous. --------------------------- With regard to the last sentence, the insoluble organic material that you are suggesting might cause one to consider it non-homogeneous.... the insoluble material is not ocean water. It's insoluble material. The ocean water and all of its dissolved minerals is rather homogeneous You could argue the point that the salinity varies greatly making it non-homogeneous if you take a look at the whole ocean. But a glass of ocean water is, in my opinion, homogeneous as I think it fits the definition well.


Is the Pacific Ocean a compound or a mixture?

Pacific Ocean is a body of water on the Earth.Of course an ocean water is a mixture.


Is rainwater heterogeneous or homogeneous?

It is heterogeneous by the fine dirt particles collected above polluting land area. Maybe rainwater from ocean rainclouds collected far from industrialized coasts is about clear enough to call it a homogeneous solution of carbon dioxide (and other gases) in pure water.


Is the ocean a solution because it is a homogeneous mixture of salts and water?

Ocean water is in fact a homogeneous mixture of salt and water however it is a solution because the solute (salt) dissolves and assumes the phase of the solvent (water).


Through which ocean does most of the International Date Line pass?

The Pacific Ocean.The arctic, the pacific, and the southern.

Is ocean water a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?

Homogeneous unless you include sea creatures and floating debris or debris that is in the water. Because you cannot separate ocean water from the chemicals or solvents that are in the water without evaporating the water or using a funnel which probably won't work (the funnel that is) anyway.

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.
