Question

Which mixture can be classified as a homogeneous mixture?

A.
salad dressing

B.
soil

C.
tap water

D.
sand

Answer 1

A homogeneous mixture means that two or more chemicals are equally distributed throughout the mixture, we often call a homogenous mixture a solution.

This means that you could take a solution and split it into two volumes and both volumes would have the same concentration (they would have the exact same composition).

Does this help you answer your question?

Answer 2

Remember solids are not usually homogenous (there are exceptions to this, pharmaceutics they really do a good job of creating homogenous solid mixtures). The reason this is, is because granular size of the particles that make up a solid may be variable. Think about if you were to mix basket balls with golf balls in a container.

Answer 3

Thus you only really have two choices, remember tap water isn't just pure water but contains minerals.

Answer 4

so it would be salad dressing @Australopithecus
