Question

2. List the points of differences
between homogeneous and
heterogeneous mixtures.
​

Answer 1

Homogeneous Mixture : -

¤ Particles are distributed uniformly

¤ We can’t judge a homogeneous mixture by just seeing it

¤ Homogeneous mixtures are also called solutions

¤ Uniform composition

¤ Example: rainwater, vinegar, etc.

Heterogeneous Mixture : -

¤ Particles are distributed non uniformly

¤ We can judge a heterogeneous mixture by just seeing it

¤ Non-uniform composition

¤ Example: seawater, pizza, etc.

Answer 2

Required Answer :-

A homogeneous mixture is that which has the same composition throughout, that is, its its components are uniformly distributed. Hence, it's different part cannot be distinguished from each other.

For example :- A solution of salt or sugar in water, soft drinks, alloys etc.

Whereas,

A heterogeneous mixture is that which does not have the same composition throughout, that is, its components are not uniformly distributed. Hence, it's different parts can be distinguished from each other.

For example :- Mixtures of of sand in water, iron iron nails in sulphur powder, pebbles pebbles in rice etc.
