sand

Answer 2

This is not a very good example of a heterogeneous mixture because sand on its own is not really a mixture. It's just sand, whereas a mixture of sand and salt would be a mixture, and a heterogeneous one. However, it would be reasonable to say that each grain of sand itself is a mixture of various types of stone (mainly silica) so, at a pinch, the answer is correct, but a better example could be found.

Does heterogeneos mixture mean?

A heterogeneous mixture is a combination of two or more substances that remain distinct and are not uniformly distributed throughout the mixture. In such mixtures, the individual components can often be seen and separated, such as sand and salt or oil and water. The properties of each component are retained, making it easy to identify and differentiate them. Examples include salad, rocky soil, and a bowl of cereal with milk.


What is a heterogenous mixture and a homogeneouis mixture?

A homogeneous mixture is uniform in composition (some examples are dissolved salt in water, air, brewed tea or coffee, or wine) A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture that is not uniform (examples include: sand, oil in water, olive oil) While heterogeneous mixtures have particles that sometimes can be seen under a microscope, the particles of homogeneous mixtures are molecule-sized, causing them to look uniform even under a microscope Basically, homogeneous means the same all the way through. A solution of dissolved salt is homogeneous. Water with food colouring in it is homogeneous. Heterogeneous means different. Muddy water is an example of a heterogeneous mixture. A homogeneous mixture will have the substances in the mixture mixed smoothly, but a heterogeneous mixture will still have some regions of substance distinct in the mixture. Both are mixtures which means they can both be separated.


What is an example of homogeneous mixture?

An example of a homogeneous mixture is a solution of sugar dissolved in water. In this mixture, the sugar molecules are evenly distributed throughout the water, resulting in a uniform composition throughout the solution.


What type of mixture is easiest to separate?

For example a mixture of water and an insoluble solid.

Is oxygen example of mixture?

Oxygen itself is not an example of a mixture, but rather an element. However, air, which is a mixture of gases including oxygen, can be considered an example of a mixture.
