Question

Define homogenous. Give examples of some homogenous mixtures.

Answer 1

The definition of homogeneous strongly depends on the context used. Generally it refers to smooth variation of properties with no discontinuities or jumps. In Chemistry, a homogeneous suspension of material means that when dividing the volume in half, the same amount of material is suspended in both halves of the substance.

An example of a homogeneous mixture is air. Air can be more specifically described as a gaseous solution (oxygen and other gases dissolved in the major component, nitrogen). Since interactions between molecules play almost no role, dilute gases form rather trivial solutions. In part of the literature, they are not even classified as solutions

Answer 2

A mixture is said to be Homogeneous, if the components of the mixture have uniform composition throughout.
Eg. Sugar Solution, Salt Solution, Air etc
