Question

Which is a homogeneous mixture

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A mixture is formed by the combination of two or more compounds.

A mixture can be classified into homogeneous or heterogeneous.

If after mixing two or more compounds we can identify the different compounds (phases), that is a heterogeneous mixture. This is easy to notice because the different phases has different characteristics like color, density, states (solid, liquid, gas), etc.

And, if after mixing two or more compounds we cannot see those differents compunds (phases) and we can see just one phase with the same characteristics of color, density, states, etc., that is a homogeneous mixture.

Examples:

- If you mix water and alcohol, we cannot see any difference, the whole mixture has the same color, density and it is liquid, so it is a homogeneous mixture.

- If you mix water and cooking oil in a glass, two different phases appear, with diffrent color and different density. Water phase stays on the bottom of the glass and the cooking oil phase stays on the top of the glass, so it is a heterogeneous mixture.

Answer 2

A homogeneous mixture is a mixture that is mixed so well together that you cannot see the different components that make up the mixture as the ingredients will not separate out, even over time.
