Question

Muddy water is an example of a homogeneous mixture.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Homogeneous Mixture:

• A homogeneous mixture is one in which the components that make up the mixture are evenly distributed throughout.
• The combination has the same composition throughout.
• Only one phase of matter is observed in a homogeneous mixture.
• Example: air, sugar water, rainwater, etc.

Heterogeneous Mixture:

• A heterogeneous mixture is one in which the components are not uniform or have varied qualities in localised places.
• The samples in the combination are not similar to one another.
• Example: blood, soil, etc.

Muddy water is an example of:

• Muddy water is also an example of a heterogeneous mixture.
• Because the components are not uniform and all the constituents are not identical.
• Also, the mud settles down and water remains on top making two different visible phases under the effect of gravity.

Thus, the given statement is false.
