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.

Lithium-6 has a mass of 6.0151 amu and lithium-7 has a mass of 7.0160 amu. The relative abundance of Li-6 is 7.42% and the relat
horsena [70]
Average atomic mass is the weighted average atomic masses with regard to the relative abundance of the isotopes 
average atomic mass of Li = relative abundance of Li-6 x mass of Li-6 + relative abundance of Li-7 x mass of Li-7
average atomic mass of Li = (7.42% x 6.0151 a.m.u) + (92.58% x 7.0160 a.m.u)
                                           = 0.446 + 6.495
                                           = 6.941 amu
average atomic mass of Li is 6.941 amu

What is the (OH-) in a solution with a pOH of 6.48
inn [45]
Through manipulation of equations, we are able to obtain the equation:

-pOH= log [ OH^{-}]

Then we can transform the equation into:

[ OH^{-}]= 10^{-pOH}

Then we are able to plug in the pOH and directly get [OH-]:

[ OH^{-}] = 10^{-6.48}

[ OH^{-}]=3.31* 10^{-7} M
