Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A mixture that consists of only one phase is called ____ mixture.
A
Homogeneous
B
Heterogeneous
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A homogeneous mixture is a gaseous, liquid or solid mixture that has the same proportions of its components throughout a given sample. It is uniform in composition throughout. There is only one phase of matter observed in a homogeneous mixture.

Detailed explanation-2: -By definition, a pure substance or a homogeneous mixture consists of a single phase. A heterogeneous mixture consists of two or more phases. When oil and water are combined, they do not mix evenly, but instead form two separate layers. Each of the layers is called a phase.

Detailed explanation-3: -A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture with particles in between the size of particles found in suspensions (big particles) and solutions (very small particles). Colloids are heterogeneous mixtures in which small particles of one substance are evenly distributed throughout a different substance and do not settle.

Detailed explanation-4: -homogeneous reaction, any of a class of chemical reactions that occur in a single phase (gaseous, liquid, or solid), one of two broad classes of reactions-homogeneous and heterogeneous-based on the physical state of the substances present.

Detailed explanation-5: -Homogeneous mixtures can be solid, liquid, or gas. They have the same appearance and chemical composition throughout.
