The sea water can be classified as a homogeneous mixture as well as the heterogeneous mixture? comment
Answers
Answer :
Sea water is classified as a homogeneous mixture as well as heterogeneous mixture for the following reason :
• We know that sea water is mostly mixed with impurities, dead animals, plants,etc.
• Also, sea water is saline water.
• We can classify sea water with the above mixtures.
• In first case, if sea water is mixed with salt then it is homogeneous mixture.
• In second case if the sea water is mixed with solids liks dead animals, plants then it is heterogeneous mixture.
Heterogeneous Mixture :
• Heterogeneous mixture is a type of mixture which can be separated.
• In simple words, Heterogeneous mixture is a mixture where there is no uniform composition.
• Ex : Mixture of oil and water.
Homogeneous Mixture :
• Homogeneous mixture is a mixture which cannot be separated.
• In simple words, Homogeneous mixture is a mixture where there is uniform composition.
• Ex : salt and water.
HOMOGENEOUS-
✴ Salt of Sea water dissolves completely in water and dissociates in to sodium and chloride ions.
✴The salt solution is clear and transparent and salt cannot be separated from water by filtration.
✴Thus sea water is a homogeneous mixture.
HETEROGENOUS-
✴Sea water contains suspended impurities like decayed plants or animal material
✴Thus, it is called heterogeneous mixture.
Conclusion- Sea water are classified as Homogenius as well as Heterogenous.
