Identify each of the following as a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture. Explain your choice.(3.1)


Short Answer

Expert verified

a) As an end, the mix is homogeneous.

b) As a result, the mix is heterogeneous.

c) As an outcome, the mix is heterogeneous.

Step by step solution

01

Given information (a).

When two or more substances (elements or compounds) come together without changing chemically, a mixture is generated. To form a mixture, the substances do not have to mix in a specific ratio.

A homogeneous mixture is one that has a consistent composition throughout the sample.

02

Explanation (a). 

a) The given diagram:


The components of a mixture have a consistent distribution, making it homogeneous.

03

Given information (b). 

Homogenization is a procedure that turns a heterogeneous mixture into a homogeneous mixture.

04

Explanation (b).

b) The given diagram is:

The components of the mixture do not have a uniform distribution throughout the sample, as we can see. As a result, the mix is heterogeneous.

05

Given information (c).

A heterogeneous mixture is one whose composition is not uniform. The composition changes from one location to the next, with at least two distinct phases with distinct features that refers to a variety from one another. You may see the individual components of a heterogeneous mixture if you study a sample.

06

Explanation (c).

c) The given diagram is:


The mixture's components are not evenly distributed across the sample, as we can see. As a result, there is heterogeneity in the mixture.
