Question

Types of mixtures. Homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures

Answer 1

Mixtures can be classified on the basis of particle size into three different types: suspension mixture, colloidal mixture or solution.

Suspension mixtures have larger solute particles, Colloidal mixtures have much smaller particles, and particles in a Solution completely dissolve into the solvent.

A homogeneous mixture is a mixture where the components are uniformly distributed and has the same apperance throughout the mixture. There is only one phase of matter observed in a homogeneous mixture. Homogeneous mixtures are commonly referred to as solutions.
Examples of homogeneous mixtures : Air, Sugar water, Rainwater, Vinegar, steel

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture where the components of the mixture are not uniform or have localized regions with different properties. Different samples from the mixture are not identical to each other.
Example of hetergeneous mixtures are : Cereal in milk, Vegetable soup, Pizza, Blood, soil etc.
