Question

Drag each label to the correct location. Sort the sentences based on whether they describe the properties of a heterogeneous or a homogeneous mixture.

Answer 1

HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURE:

--> It can be mistaken for a pure substance

--> It can be separated using distillation.

HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURE:

--> Its components are visible

--> Concrete is an example of this kind of mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

A mixture contains two or more substances in any proportion. It can be heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture.

HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURE: A mixture is said to be a homogeneous if the composition is uniform

and appears visually the same throughout the mixture. That is why is can be mistaken for a pure substance. Example of homogeneous mixture includes air, gasoline, and a solution of salt in water. A homogeneous mixture can be separated through distillation separation technique. This takes advantage of different boiling points of the various liquid in the mixture.

HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURE: A mixture is said to be heterogeneous if different sections of the mixture have different compositions. These can be visibly seen. An example is concrete mixture because it is made up of different materials like cement, water, coarse aggregates like sand.
