Answer 1

ANSWER+EXPLANATION.

For answering this question, you should recall what homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures are. If the mixture has one phase, it is homogeneous otherwise it is heterogeneous.

So now based on the above details will classify the given mixtures as homogenous and heterogenous

Homogeneous – Soda water, air, vinegar, filtered tea.

These fall under the category of the homogenous mixture as the particles in this matter are not visible distinctly and behave as a one phase.

Heterogeneous – Wood, soil.

These fall under the category of the heterogeneous mixture as the particles in this matter are distinctly visible and we can observe that these are made up of two or more particles. Hence it comprises of more than one phase.
