GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture with a non-uniform composition. The composition varies from one region to another with at least two phases that remain separate from each other, with clearly identifiable properties. If you examine a sample of a heterogeneous mixture, you can see the separate components.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. In the case of vegetable soup, one phase would be the liquid soup itself.

Detailed explanation-3: -A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture of two or more chemical substances (elements or compounds) where the different components can be visually distinguished and easily separated by physical means. Examples include: mixtures of sand and water. mixtures of sand and iron filings.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are always two or more phases in a heterogeneous mixture, where you can identify a region with properties that are distinct from those of another region, even if they are the same state of matter (e.g., liquid, solid).

Detailed explanation-5: -Mixtures in two or more phases are heterogeneous mixtures. Examples include ice cubes in a drink, sand and water, and salt and oil.
