What is a homogeneous mixture? (S8P1a)
A
a mixture that is the same throughout.
B
a mixture that is made up of one type of atom.
C
a mixture that is made up of one type of compound
D
a mixture that cannot be separated through physical changes
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: -A solution is a mixture that is the same or uniform throughout. Think of the example of salt water. This is also called a “homogenous mixture.” A mixture that is not a solution is not uniform throughout.

Detailed explanation-3: -A homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the composition is uniform throughout the mixture. The salt water described above is homogeneous because the dissolved salt is evenly distributed throughout the entire salt water sample.

Detailed explanation-4: -For example, A mixture of salt and water, A mixture of water and sugar, These mixtures have the same composition of components throughout the mixture so both mixtures are examples of homogeneous mixtures.

Detailed explanation-5: -A mixture is said to be homogeneous if its constituents are uniformly mixed and it has the same properties throughout. The constituents of a homogeneous mixture cannot be easily separated. For example, the air is a homogeneous mixture of different gases.
