Question

Which of these common substances is a heterogeneous mixture?

Answer 1

Answer:

(C) If the composition of a mixture appears uniform no matter where you sample it, is homogeneous; sand on a beach *IS HETEROGENEOUS* because when you look at it up close, you can identify different types of particles, such as sand, shells, and organic matter.

Explanation:

(A) Pure Water is a collection of solely H2O molecules therefore Pure Water is classified as a *Compound*.

(B) Table Salt is NOT a heterogeneous mixture because the particles of salt can't be separated, and it is a *Pure Substance*.

(D) Maple Syrup is a homogeneous mixture because the solutes are fully dissolved and not easily identified. In other words, Maple Syrup is uniform throughout.
