Question

The mixture you separated was mixture of iron filings, sand, and salt. Based on your understanding of matter, is this mixture a homogeneous mixture or heterogeneous mixture? How do you know?

Answer 1

Answer;

-Heterogeneous mixture because the filings and particles of sand and salt are distributed randomly in the mixture

Explanation;

• A mixture is a substance that is made up of two or more substances. Mixtures are not pure substances like the case of elements and compounds.
• A mixture may be either homogeneous or heterogeneous.
• A homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the components are uniformly distributed. This means there is only one phase of matter, hence a homogeneous mixture can exist as a solid, gas or liquid.
• A heterogeneous mixture on the other hand is a type of mixture in which the components making the mixture are not uniform. A heterogeneous mixture contains more than one phases of matter. These types of mixtures may be either suspensions or colloids.

Answer 2

The answer is "Heterogeneous mixture because the filings and particles of sand and salt are distributed randomly in the mixture."

A mixture is a mix of at least two substances in any extent. This is not quite the same as a compound, which comprises of substances in settled extents.

A heterogeneous mixture is formed when the chemicals in the blend are not consistently conveyed all through the blend. For example, on the off chance that you add sand to salt, no measure of crushing can make sand and salt frame a homogeneous blend like salt and water. In this way, we can state that a blend of sand and salt will shape a heterogeneous mixture.
