Question

List the points of differences between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.

Answer 1

Hint: Any part of a sample with a uniform composition and properties is referred to as a phase. A pure material or a homogeneous mixture has only one step by definition. Two or more phases make up a heterogeneous mixture. When oil and water are mixed together, they form two distinct layers rather than mixing equally. Each layer is referred to as a phase.

Complete answer:
Any part of a sample with a uniform composition and properties is referred to as a phase. A pure material or a homogeneous mixture has only one step by definition. Two or more phases make up a heterogeneous mixture. When oil and water are mixed together, they form two distinct layers rather than mixing equally. Each layer is referred to as a phase.

HOMOGENEOUS	HETEROGENEOUS
The elements and compounds are combined in an uniform fashion.	The elements and compounds aren't combined evenly.
In all compositions, the mixture's properties are the same.	The properties vary depending on the composition.
There are no obvious dividing lines between the constituents.	There are visible division boundaries between the constituents.
Copper and zinc are two solids that combine to form brass, a solid metal. The components are indistinguishable.	Iron can be easily isolated from sulphur in a mixture using a magnet, but the composition is not uniform.
