• A. Constituents of heterogeneous mixtures are uniformly mixed.
• B. It is composed of multiple separate parts.
• C. It is composed of a chemical solution.
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Constituents of heterogeneous mixtures are uniformly mixed.

Explanation for correct option:

A. Constituents of heterogeneous mixtures are uniformly mixed.

Heterogenous mixture:

• The mixture in which the composition is not uniform is known as a heterogeneous mixture.
• Mixtures in two or more phases are heterogenous mixtures.
• Examples of the heterogenous mixtures are muddy water as well as oil in water.

Properties of heterogenous mixture:

• The components of a heterogeneous mixture can be separated easily by physical methods.
• The particles in this mixture are not uniform.

Hence, the correct option is A i.e Constituents of heterogeneous mixtures are uniformly mixed.
