Question

What type of mixture is sand and water?

Answer 1

Homogeneous mixture:

• Homogeneous mixtures are the mixtures in which the components are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture.
• Example: Mixture of salt and water.

Heterogeneous mixture:

• When two or more components do not mixed together and they do not uniformly distributed throughout the mixture are called heterogeneous mixture.
• When sand is dissolved in water, it does not evenly mix with water and after some time it will settle down in the container.
• Therefore, the mixture of sand and water is heterogeneous mixture.
