Question

ice cubes in water and explain why it is either a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture.

Answer 1

Well, do you know what the difference between a homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture is? :)

Answer 2

not exactly

Answer 3

Haha that's probably not very helpful then.

A homogeneous mixture is a mixture where the components that make up the mixture are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture.
Homogeneous mixtures: air, blood, saturated sugar water

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture where the components of the mixture are not uniform or have localized regions with different properties.
Heterogeneous mixtures: rocks, oil and water, soup, pizza

Answer 4

tnx so much

Answer 5

So, do you have your answer? :)

Answer 6

ya its a heterogeneoues

Answer 7

Good job! I can see why it would be a hard question because they are both a state of H20, but because one is a solid and the other is a liquid, it is a heterogeneous mixture. :)

Now... if the ice melts... That's a different story :P


Please let me know if you need any more help!

Answer 8

ok so homogeneous are the ones that are all one peice if that makes sense.... and heterogeneous are the ones that can be separated an have chunks......
food coloring- homo
ice cubes in liquid water-hetero.... although may be homo, because they are both H2O..
