Solution

List of the points of differences between homogenous and heterogeneous mixtures:

Homogenous mixture

Heterogeneous mixture

  • Homogeneous have uniform composition throughout the mixture.
  • Heterogeneous mixtures have a non-uniform composition which may vary from point to point.
  • In a homogeneous mixture, the whole mixture exists in one phase.
  • In the heterogeneous mixture, components exist in two or more phases.
  • Particle size often exists at the atomic or molecular level.
  • Heterogeneous mixtures usually have large particle sizes.
  • In a homogeneous mixture, components cannot be separated easily.
  • In the heterogeneous mixture, components cannot be separated easily.
  • Examples: Sugar solution, salt solution, alloys.
  • Examples: Mixture of sand and water, Mixture of sugar and grains.

Hence, the above mentioned are the list of the points of differences between homogenous and heterogeneous mixtures.
