Question

Compare a heterogeneous mixture and a homogeneous mixture

Answer 1

In a heterogeneous mixture, you can clearly see the distinction between the different substances within the mixture. e.g. fruit salad, paella, nachos

in a homogeneous mixture, it is still made up of different substances, but there is no way of distinguishing between them just from appearances. they have the same uniform composition throughout. e.g. salt water; you know it is made of salt and water, but the salt is dissolved uniformly throughout that you cannot tell. 

hope that helps :)
