Question

Which of the following is a heterogeneous mixture? [1] Cola [2] Brass Air Coffee with sugar stirred in [5] [3] Soil

Answer 1

Answer:

Soil is heterogeneous mixture of sand particles of different sizes, shape and of different compositions.

Explanation:

Homogeneous mixtures are defined as the mixtures in which components are evenly spread throughout the solution. The size and shape of the particles are similar in these mixtures.

For example : alloys, salt solution.

Heterogeneous mixtures are defined as the mixtures in which component are unevenly spread throughout the solution. The size and shape of the particles differ in these mixtures.

For example : sand in a water, soil etc.

Brass is an alloy homogeneous mixture of metals.

Air is a homogeneous mixture of gases.

Coffee with sugar stirred in is also homogeneous mixture.

Soil is a heterogeneous mixture of sand particles of different sizes, shape and of different compositions.
