Question

When an incense stick has lightened the vapours from it are large enough that they are visible to the naked eye. Does that mean that it forms a heterogeneous mixture with air?

Solution

Heterogenous mixture:

  • "A heterogeneous mixture is that in which the composition of the mixture is not uniform throughout."
  • It consists of two or more phases.

Incense stick:

  • When an incense stick is lighted, the vapours are visible.
  • It can be considered a heterogeneous mixture with air as the particles are called dispersed phase and the air is called dispersion medium.
