What are the types of mixtures ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Mixtures are of two types:
(i) Homogeneous mixtures. The mixtures which have a uniform composition throughout are called homogeneous mixtures or solutions. Some example of such mixtures are: (i) salt in water and (ii) sugar in water. Compare the colour of the solutions of the two groups. A homogeneous mixture can have a variable composition.
(ii) Heterogeneous mixtures. The mixtures which contain physically distinct parts and have non-uniform compositions are called heterogeneous mixtures. Mixtures of sodium chloride and iron filings, salt and sulphur, and oil and water are examples of hetero-geneous mixtures.
