Differentiate between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures with examples.
Homogeneous mixtures | Heterogeneous mixtures |
$$\bullet$$ The substances are completely mixed together in these mixtures. | The substances remain separate in these mixtures. |
$$\bullet$$ They have uniform compositions throughout their mass. | They have non-uniform compositions throughout their mass. |
$$\bullet$$ They have no visible boundaries of the separation between the constituents. | They have visible boundaries of separation between the constituents. |
$$\bullet$$ Salt in water, sugar in water are examples of heterogeneous mixtures. | Mixtures of sodium chloride and iron filings, and oil and water are
examples of homogeneous mixtures. |
