The mixture you separated was mixture oof iron filings, sand, and salt. Based on your understanding of matter, is this mixture a
homogeneous mixture or heterogeneous mixture? How do you know? A. Heterogeneous mixture-the parts are not uniformly mixed. B. Homogeneous mixture-the parts are uniform mixed C. Heterogenous mixture-the parts are uniformly mixed d. Homogenous mixture-the parts are not uniformly mixed
<span>The answer is B, because a heterogeneous mixture consists of elements that have the same appearance and composition, If sand, salt, and iron filings are combined, they would look like one uniform element rather than three separate elements.</span>
A mixture forms when different elements are put together and yet they are distinct. it means there is no change in the properties of individual components of a mixture. A mixture can be of two kinds: Homogeneous and Heterogeneous mixture. A homogeneous mixture is the one which has uniformity in its every part. For example: salt mixed in water is a homogeneous mixture. A heterogeneous mixture has visibly distinct components. The mixture was of iron fillings, sand and salt is a homogeneous mixture as the component parts are not uniformly mixed.
