There are two types of mixtures: heterogeneous and homogeneous. Heterogeneous mixtures have visually distinguishable components, while homogeneous mixtures appear uniform throughout. The most common type of homogenous mixture is a solution, which can be a solid, liquid, or gas.

To identify the nature of a mixture, consider its sample size. If you can see more than one phase of matter or different regions in the sample, it is heterogeneous. If the composition of the mixture appears uniform no matter where you sample it, the mixture is homogeneous.

Smoke is a heterogeneous mixture as smoke does not have uniform composition throughout. Homogeneous mixtures can’t be filtered, but you can filter smoke out of the air, so it’s not homogeneous. Every pure substance is homogeneous, so it’s not that.

Dust is a homogeneous mixture as we cannot see the dust particles separately in air.

Is hot tea a mixture? Tea is a homogeneous mixture as its composition is the same throughout. If you take one spoon of the solution and compare it to two spoons of the same solution, the composition will be the same.

1 Answer. Sweet tea is an homogeneous mixture of sugar and water to a first approx.

A mixture of soil in water to make “mud” is heterogeneous. Homogeneous Mixture – appears uniform and consistent throughout. Solutions and colloids are homogeneous mixtures. A lemonade drink is a homogeneous mixture, known as a solution.

Because the composition of the solution is uniform throughout, it is a homogeneous mixture. Because its composition is not uniform throughout, orange juice is a heterogeneous mixture.

A homogeneous mixture is defined as “the mixture, which has uniform composition through out its mass”. EXAMPLE: Air, sugar solution, salt solution, alloys, soft drinks (Pepsi, Coca-Cola etc.) mass are known as heterogeneous mixtures”.

Gelatin would be a homogeneous mixture.
