Interpretation:The concept of phase in relation to homogenous and heterogenous mixtures needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction: A phase is any part of a sample that has a consistent composition.
Answer to Problem 14LC
A homogeneous mixture has one phase whereas a heterogeneous mixture has two or more phases.
Explanation of Solution
A compound that is made up of two or more chemical components that are not chemically linked with each other is said to be a mixture. The mixtures are classified based on the distribution of components:
- Homogenous mixture: A mixture is said to be homogenous when its composition is uniform throughout.
- Heterogenous mixture: A mixture is said to be heterogenous when its composition is not uniform throughout.
Thus, a homogeneous mixture has one phase,for example, a mixture of alcohol and water has one phase whereas a heterogeneous mixture has two or more phases,for example, a mixture of oil and water has two phases.

- Draw and show the full mechanism of how the molecule ((1E, 3E, 5E)-1-methoxyhepta-1,3,5-triene) is built using substitution and elimination reactions. You can start with an alkane of any carbon length with any number of leaving groups attached or with a alkoxide of any carbon length (conjugate base of an alcohol). Show each step and and explanation for each reaction. Also include why the reagents and solvents were picked and what other products can be expected.arrow_forwardDon't USE AIarrow_forwardDon't USE AIarrow_forward
