Question

Which of the following is TRUE about heterogeneous mixtures? Select all that apply.

A) A heterogeneous mixture is a solution.
B) A heterogeneous mixture can only be separated chemically.
C) A heterogeneous mixture is not uniform in composition.
D) A heterogeneous mixture is not a pure substance.

Answer 1

A heterogeneous mixture is non-uniform and can be seen, like orange juice and a compact disc.

Step-by-step explanation:

A heterogeneous mixture is one that consists of two or more substances. It is non-uniform and the different components of the mixture can be seen. An example of a heterogeneous mixture is orange juice which contains particles of solid (pulp) as well as liquid. Another example is a compact disc, which is a solid material with regions of different compositions visible along its edge. Therefore, options C) and D) are true about heterogeneous mixtures.
