Question

What are the two types of mixtures? Explain them with examples.

Accepted Answer

Mixtures can be classified into the following two types, they are;

Homogeneous mixtures, and 2. Heterogeneous mixtures.

1. Homogeneous Mixtures:

A mixture is said to be homogeneous if all the components (or constituents) of the mixture are uniformly mixed and there are no boundaries of separation between them. For Example, a mixture of two or more miscible liquids is also a homogeneous mixture in the liquid phase such as a solution of alcohol and water is a homogeneous mixture.

2. Heterogeneous Mixtures:

A mixture is said to be heterogeneous if all the components (or constituents) of the mixture are not uniformly mixed and there are visible boundaries of separation between them. Example: a mixture of petrol and water is a heterogeneous mixture as petrol and water do not mix and thus, form two separate layers (i.e., they have visible boundaries of separation).
