A homogeneous mixture is made up of multiple different substances. (You can see different parts)
Ex: Cereal in milk or ice in soda

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture that is mixed well. ( you can’t see the different parts)
Ex: Rain or air

You wake up in the morning and make yourself a cup of coffee. You pour the coffee in your cup, add milk, add sugar, and stir everything together. The result is a uniform cup of caffeinated goodness. Each sip should taste and look the same.

This is an example of a homogeneous mixture. In this type of mixture, the components are evenly distributed throughout and the mixture has a uniform appearance. You shouldn't be able to pick out the individual components. Additionally, you can describe a homogeneous mixture as having only one phase. A phase is any part of the mixture that has the same chemical properties and uniform distribution of the components.


Heterogeneous

When you're eating a bowl of cereal, you are consuming a heterogeneous mixture. You can easily see the different things that make up this mixture: the milk and the cereal. Each spoonful will have different distributions of the components.

A heterogeneous mixture has components that are not evenly distributed. This means that you can easily distinguish between the different components. A heterogeneous mixture has two or more phases. This doesn't necessarily mean phases of matter, like liquid or solid. For example, a mixture of water and oil has two liquid phases. Each phase has its own distinct chemical properties.

Which of the following is an accurate example of how the water cycle can influence local weather? A. An increase in evaporation
irina1246 [14]

The answer is; A

During a hot day, the land heats up faster than the waters. The air on land becomes warm and less dense fast and begin to rise in the atmosphere. The air on the ocean with is still cooler and denser moves in to replace the rising on land air. This causes a sea breeze. The sea breeze carries with it, moisture. The hotter the day the higher the humidity. When the air goes inland, it causes precipitation when it rises,  cool, and condenses.

Explain how our body systems work together to get oxygen into and around our body.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:  (1) Inhales (breathes in) Oxygen - good for the body - gives it to the Circulatory System to be transported throughout the body through the blood. (1) Digestive System gets nutrients (good) from food and hands it over to the blood and Circulatory System then carries those nutrients where they need to go.

a 25.5 liter balloon holding 3.5 moles of carbon dioxide leaks. If we are able to determine that 1.9 moles of carbon dioxide esc
kap26 [50]

Answer:

11.66 L.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas: <em>PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • If P and T are constant, and have different values of n and V:

<em>(V₁n₂) = (V₂n₁).</em>

V₁ = 25.5 L, n₁ = 3.5 mol.

V₂ = ??? L, n₂ = 3.5 mol - 1.9 mol = 1.6 mol.

<em>∴ V₂ = (V₁n₂)/(n₁)</em> = (25.5 L)(1.6 mol)/(3.5 mol) =<em> 11.66 L.</em>
