A mixture is a combination of two or more substances, where these substances are not bonded (or joined) to each other and no chemical reaction o
A heterogeneous mixture is one that consists of two or more substances. It is non-uniform and the different components of the mixture can be seen.ccurs between the substances.
A heterogeneous mixture does not have a definite composition. Cereal in milk is an example of a heterogeneous mixture. Soil is another example. Soil has pebbles, plant matter and sand in it. Although you may add one substance to the other, they will stay separate in the mixture. We say that these heterogeneous mixtures are non-uniform, in other words they are not exactly the same throughout.
A homogeneous mixture has a definite composition, and specific properties. In a homogeneous mixture, the different parts cannot be seen. A solution of salt dissolved in water is an example of a homogeneous mixture. When the salt dissolves, it spreads evenly through the water so that all parts of the solution are the same, and you can no longer see the salt as being separate from the water. Think also of coffee without milk. The air we breathe is another example of a homogeneous mixture since it is made up of different gases which are in a constant ratio, and which can't be visually distinguished from each other (i.e. you can't see the different components).
A homogeneous mixture is one that is uniform, and where the different components of the mixture cannot be seen.

    We came to the conclusion that salt in water is a homogeneous mixture which readily does dissolve in water. While Sand is a heterogeneous mixture due to the many different particles that it contains, while in water it does not dissolve and therefore it remains separated. What physical properties will you use to separate this mixture? The physical properties that were used to separate this mixture were filtration and distillation among this experiment. Through distillation we were able to see the left over compound that was left after all the evaporation happened inside the heated beaker. Is the combination of salt and sand a new compound or a mixture? The combination of salt and sand will always be considered to be a mixture because it cannot be permanently changed, therefore it can always be brought back to the same state that it was started with, it cannot be a new compound due to the mixing of crystals with…

    Mixtures are usually content of two or more substances. There are two kind of mixtures, Homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. For Homogeneous mixture we cannot see the individual particles of the components, a good example of that will be air, cola drink, and rubbing alcohol. And for heterogeneous mixture we can see the individual particles of the components, a good example of that will be rocks and soil. There are a variety of methods that we can separate the mixtures with. Physical and chemical methods are the most useful way to separate the components. A ternary mixture is containing three substances; it can be separated by both physical and chemical method in many steps.…

    I'm going to refer to the classification pyrimid. This is how the pyrimid is set up. At the top it has materials or matter. Then to the lower left and right it has homogeneous matterials and heterogeneous matterials. Below the heterogeneous materials it just classifies as an heterogeneous mixture due to it has more than one piece of matter in the material. Now under homogeneous material you have a choice it's either a pure substance which is ususally solid, or a homogeneous mixture (solution). Usually solutions end in ite, ate, ide, etc.…
