Homogeneous mixtures exist in a single phase (solid, liquid or gas). True False @Photon336 @Abmon98
true; liquid right?
sorry, solid
wait a minute, is it both?
well first when you get terms like this make sure you break them down homogeneous homo = same genous = nature
so...both right? it's false
@Abmon98 what do you think?
A homogeneous mixture is made up of components in a single phase.
For instance a hetero-genous mixture hetero = different geneous nature means that they aren't all in the same phase. say we had a mixture of sand and water. if we separated them out sand would be a solid water a liquid.
they would be in the same phase for homogeneous mixture. the word homogenous itself contains a lot of meaning.
so it is true because a solid cant be homogeneous with a liquid.
Example Slurry of ice and water they are made up of H2O but both exist in different phases Consider the mixture of silver and gold although they are 2 different components but they exist in the same phase(solid)
now you're confusing me ... :\
im so cunfuzzled please help?
ok, let me try
It is true.
I agree with @Photon336
Same nature means same Phase.
It is false. Salt(NaCl) is a solid and it forms a homogenous mixture with water(H2O) which is a liquid. There are many such examples. Alloys like Bronze and Steel are homogenous mixtue of several metals that are solid.
Even air is a homogenous mixture of several gasses. So it is false
a homogenous substance is A mixture which has uniform composition and properties throughout. not substances with same nature
thank you so much @shadowreaper810 that really makes sense :) thanks everyone else for helping me as well m:P
