Question

What is the difference between homogeneous mixture and heterogeneous mixture
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1 : movement of a solvent (such as water) through a semipermeable membrane (as of a living cell) into a solution of higher solute concentration that tends to equalize the concentrations of solute on the two sides of the membrane

Answer 2

What is a Homogeneous Mixture?

• These are the types of mixtures in which the components mixed are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture. In other words, “they are uniform throughout”. We can observe only one phase of matter in a homogeneous mixture.

Key points regarding such mixtures are:

• 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.

What is 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 this type of mixture:

• Particles are distributed non uniformly
• We can judge a heterogeneous mixture by just seeing it
• Non-uniform composition
• Example: seawater, pizza, etc.
