Question

What are some examples of mixtures?

Answer 1

Hint: A compound is a substance that contains atoms of various elements. These compounds are classified as organic, inorganic compounds or mixtures. A mixture is a substance that consists of atoms or molecules in any ratio. The ratio is not definite. Mixtures are of two types, homogeneous and heterogeneous.

Complete answer:
Mixtures are the most common form of compounds that we can find almost everywhere. Mixtures contain atoms and molecules in any indefinite or definite ratio. These compositions of atoms result in two types of mixtures. Homogenous mixtures and heterogeneous mixtures
Homogenous mixture: a homogenous mixture is a kind of mixture whose particles cannot be seen with a naked eye. Also these particles have only one phase or substance throughout their surface. Examples of homogenous mixtures are:
-the air we breathe is a mixture of various gases like oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc.
- ocean water that consists of oxygen, hydrogen, etc.
- blood that consists of plasma, RBC, WBC, etc.
- sugar solution, brewed coffee, etc.
Heterogeneous mixture: a heterogeneous mixture is that kind of mixture which consists of particles that we can see with a naked eye. They consist of particles in different phases. These particles are distinct and can be physically separated. Examples of heterogeneous mixtures are:
-salad, containing different vegetables
- beach sand, contains mud, silica, etc.
- pizza, that consist of various toppings
- mixture of sodium chloride and sand
Hence, examples of mixtures are as above, according to their homogeneous and heterogeneous types.

Note:
A homogenous mixture is hard to separate physically, while a heterogeneous mixture is separated physically. The mixtures are just examples of components, this means they are only mixed together and not chemically combined. The chemical combination would produce organic or inorganic compounds.
