<span>Suppose you mixed two chemicals in the lab until you could not tell the two apart. After some time passed, a white powder formed which would not dissolve, and settled on the bottom. The mixture was first homogeneous then heterogeneous. </span>
Since you could not tell the two apart we can easily determine that it was at a homogeneous state, once we could determine that there is a different substance visible, we can determine that it is in fact heterogeneous
