Concept explainers
Interpretation: Example should be given for both the homogeneous mixture and heterogeneous mixture.
Concept Introduction:
Heterogeneous and homogeneous mixture:
A homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the components are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture.
Means the composition of the mixture is same thought the mixture.
There is only one phase of matter observed in a homogeneous mixture. So we can observe only one
Like only solid or liquid or gaseous in a homogeneous mixture.
A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the compound of the mixture is not uniformly mixed with different properties.
Different samples present in the mixture are not identical to each other& are also present in different proportions. There are always two or more phases in a heterogeneous mixture.

- Classify each of the following statements as true or false. a. All heterogeneous mixtures must contain three or more substances. b. Pure substances cannot have a variable composition. c. Substances maintain their identity in a heterogeneous mixture but not in a homogeneous mixture. d. Pure substances are seldom encountered in the everyday world.arrow_forwardIf the combination of iron filings and sulfur in Question 25 is heated strongly, the iron reacts with the sulfur to form a solid that is no longer attracted by the magnet. Would this still represent a “mixture”? Why or why not?arrow_forwardA cup of coffee is an example of: a. a liquid pure substance b. a gaseous mixture c. a solid pure substance d. a liquid mixture e. a solid mixturearrow_forward
- Classify each of the following statements as true or false. a. All homogeneous mixtures must contain at least two substances. b. Heterogeneous mixtures, but not homogeneous mixtures, can have a variable composition. c. Pure substances cannot be separated into other kinds of matter by physical means. d. The number of known pure substances is less than 100,000.arrow_forwardWhich of the following are elements, and which are compounds? a NaOH; b BaCl2; c He; d Ag; e Fe2O3.arrow_forwardHow does a heterogeneous mixture differ from a homogeneous mixture? How are they similar?arrow_forward
