Question

Differentiate between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures with examples.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A homogeneous mixture is a mixture having a uniform composition throughout

the mixture. For example, mixtures of salt in water, sugar in water, copper

sulphate in water, iodine in alcohol, alloy, and air have uniform compositions

throughout the mixtures.

On the other hand, a heterogeneous mixture is a mixture having a non-uniform

composition throughout the mixture. For example, composition of mixtures of

sodium chloride and iron fillings, salt and sulphur, oil and water, chalk powder

in water, wheat flour in water, milk and water are not uniform throughout the

mixtures.
