Question

Differentiate between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures .

Answer 1

homogeneous mixtures have uniform composition whereas heterogeneous mixture have non uniform composition

Answer 2

Answer:

Homogeneous mixture

These are the types of mixtures in which the components mixed are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture or in other words “the same throughout”. We can observe only one phase of matter in homogeneous mixtures. Key points regarding these type of mixtures:

Particles are distributed uniformly

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

Homogeneous mixtures are also called as solutions

Uniform composition

Example: rainwater, vinegar etc.

Heterogeneous mixture

This is a type of mixture in which all the components are completely mixed and all the particles can be seen under a microscope. We can easily identify the components and more than one phase can be seen by naked eyes. Key points regarding these type of mixtures:

Particles are distributed non uniformly

We can judge a heterogeneous mixture by just seeing it

Non-uniform composition

Example: sea water, pizza, etc.
