Homogeneous vs heterogeneous mixtures

• What is a homogeneous mixture?

  A mixture with uniform composition throughout
• What is the main difference in appearance between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures?

  Homogeneous mixtures have a consistent appearance
• Can components of a homogeneous mixture be separated visually?

  No, they cannot be separated visually
• How does a heterogeneous mixture differ from a homogeneous mixture?

  A heterogeneous mixture has distinct components
• How does a homogeneous mixture behave?

  Every part looks and behaves the same
• How does a homogeneous mixture appear visually?

  It looks the same throughout
• What happens to the components in a heterogeneous mixture?

  They are not uniformly mixed
• Why do heterogeneous mixtures have visible components?

  Because their components are not evenly mixed
• What is a key characteristic of a homogeneous mixture?

  Consistent appearance and properties
• How do homogeneous mixtures differ from heterogeneous mixtures?

  Homogeneous mixtures are uniformly mixed
• What is the state of matter in a homogeneous mixture?

  Exists as one state of matter
• Why is the distribution of particles in a homogeneous mixture uniform?

  Because the particles in a homogeneous mixture are evenly dispersed and mixed at the molecular level.
• What is a heterogeneous mixture?

  A mixture with a non-uniform composition
• How can you identify a heterogeneous mixture visually?

  By observing distinct, separate components
• What can be seen in a heterogeneous mixture?

  Visible components
• What does uniform composition in a homogeneous mixture mean?

  Every part has the same makeup
• What are the key differences between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures in terms of their properties and behavior?

  Homogeneous mixtures:

  • Uniform distribution of particles
  • Single phase
  • Particles cannot be easily separated

  
  

  Heterogeneous mixtures:

  • Non-uniform distribution of particles
  • Multiple phases
  • Particles can be separated by physical methods
• What is a sugar-water solution classified as?

  A homogeneous mixture
• What characteristic of homogeneous mixtures makes them different from heterogeneous mixtures?

  Homogeneous mixtures have uniform composition
• How many phases can a heterogeneous mixture have?

  Multiple phases
• How are components mixed in homogeneous mixtures like steel?

  They are mixed at a microscopic level
• Is a solution homogeneous?

  Yes
• What is the difference between a homogeneous mixture and a heterogeneous mixture?

  A homogeneous mixture has a uniform distribution of particles, while a heterogeneous mixture has a non-uniform distribution of particles.
• What is a solution?

  Homogeneous mixture where components dissolve completely
• What is the key difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures?

  Homogeneous mixtures are uniform, heterogeneous are not
• What type of distribution do homogeneous mixtures have?

  Uniform distribution
• What type of distribution do heterogeneous mixtures have?

  Non-uniform distribution
• What are the characteristics of heterogeneous mixtures?

  • Non-uniform composition
  • Components are not evenly mixed
  • Different parts look and behave differently
  • Visible distinct components
• Is a colloid homogeneous?

  Yes
• Why does saltwater taste the same throughout?

  Because the salt is evenly distributed
• What types of components can be present in a heterogeneous mixture?

  Solid, liquid, or gas components
• What does it mean to separate components visually or physically in a heterogeneous mixture?

  You can distinguish and separate parts easily
• What is a suspension?

  Heterogeneous mixture with particles that settle over time
• If you mix oil and water, what type of mixture do you create?

  A heterogeneous mixture
• What are the key terms related to mixtures?

  • Solution: Homogeneous mixture, e.g., sugar in water
  • Suspension: Heterogeneous mixture, e.g., sand in water
  • Colloid: Homogeneous mixture, e.g., milk
• Why is saltwater considered a homogeneous mixture?

  Salt is dissolved evenly throughout
• How do components appear in heterogeneous mixtures?

  Components are distinct and visible
• What does non-uniform composition in a heterogeneous mixture mean?

  Different parts have different makeups
• Is a suspension homogeneous?

  No
• What is a colloid?

  Homogeneous mixture with small particles that scatter light
