Explanation:
Firstly, we need to know what a mixture is
We will go ahead by defining a mixture
A mixture is defined as the combination of two or more constituents that are physically combined together.
We need to also know that the mixture is divided into two which are:
Homogenous mixture and Heterogenous mixture
The next thing is to define a homogenous and heterogeneous mixture
A homogenous mixture is a type of mixture in which the composition of the constituent element is uniform or constant throughout the mixture. Examples of homogenous mixtures are;
Blood
Seawater
Brass
Steel
Air
Natural gas
Heterogenous mixture: This is a type of mixture in which the composition of the constituent elements is not uniform throughout the mixture. Examples of heterogenous mixtures are given below.
Concrete
Sand and sugar
Ice cubes in cola
Salt and pepper
From the examples of heterogenous mixture listed above, you can see that the composition of the two constituents is not uniform. You can easily identify sugar when mixed with sand and vice versa
Pantry contains liquid and solid substances such as cereals, milk, carbonated drinks, etc.
The cereal is in a solid state. Cereals are grains used for food, such as maize, wheat, etc
You will see that when those grains are mixed together, we can easily separate them and this is because the composition of the grains is not uniformly mixed together throughout the mixture. The same thing is applicable to the liquid substance. Also, when you mix your milk with cereals, you will observe that the cereals will not dissolve in the milk and this is because the two substances are not mixed uniformly. Hence, it is a heterogeneous mixture.
