What is a homogeneous mixture?
What is a homogeneous mixture?
- A mixture in which the components can be seen under a microscope
- A mixture in which the components are visibly separated
- A mixture in which only one phase of matter is observed
- A mixture in which the components are uniformly distributed throughout (correct)
What can be observed in a heterogeneous mixture?
What can be observed in a heterogeneous mixture?
- More than one phase of matter (correct)
- Uniform distribution of components
- Only one phase of matter
- Components that are not visible to the naked eye

Study Notes
Mixtures
- A homogeneous mixture is a mixture that has a uniform composition throughout, meaning it has the same properties and characteristics throughout.
- A heterogeneous mixture, on the other hand, is a mixture that has a non-uniform composition, meaning its components are not evenly distributed.
Characteristics of Heterogeneous Mixtures
- In a heterogeneous mixture, the components can be observed separately.
- The components of a heterogeneous mixture retain their individual properties and can be easily identified.
Homogeneous Mixture Example
- A soft drink is considered a homogeneous mixture because it has a uniform composition throughout, meaning it has the same taste, color, and consistency throughout.
Identifying Mixtures
- A person can easily identify the components of a heterogeneous mixture by observing the physical properties of each component, such as texture, color, or shape.
- In contrast, a homogeneous mixture appears uniform and its components are not easily distinguishable.
