what is hetrogeneousmix.homogeneous mix.
A mixture is formed by the physical combination of two or more pure substances in any proportion. No chemical process is involved in the formation of a mixture. For example, milk is a mixture of water, fats, and proteins. Air is a mixture of gases, while sea water is a mixture of water and salts. Constituents of a mixture can be separated by physical processes such as evaporation, boiling etc.
Depending upon the interaction of the components that form a mixture, mixtures can be classified into two types:
a) Homogeneous mixtures
b) Heterogeneous mixtures
What is a Homogeneous mixture?
A mixture is said to be homogeneous if its constituents are uniformly distributed and are not physically distinct. For example, sugar solution, salt in water etc.
Characteristics of a homogenous mixture:
Constituents are uniformly distributed.
Constituents are not physically distinct from each other.
What is a Heterogeneous mixture?
A mixture is said to be heterogeneous if its constituents are not uniformly distributed and are physically distinct. Mixture of sand in water and soil in water are examples of heterogeneous mixtures. The constituents of these mixtures are physically distinct, and are not uniformly distributed.
Characteristics of a heterogeneous mixture:
Constituents are not uniformly distributed.
Constituents are physically distinct fromeach other..
