Chapter 1, Problem 1.56QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:  Example should be given for both the homogeneous mixture and heterogeneous mixture.

Concept Introduction:

Heterogeneous and homogeneous mixture:

A homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the components are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture.

Means the composition of the mixture is same thought the mixture.

There is only one phase of matter observed in a homogeneous mixture.  So we can observe only one state of matter.

Like only solid or liquid or gaseous in a homogeneous mixture.

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the compound of the mixture is not uniformly mixed with different properties.

Different samples present in the mixture are not identical to each other& are also present in different proportions.  There are always two or more phases in a heterogeneous mixture.
