Answer 1

The correct answer is Both homogeneous and heterogeneous

Key Points

A mixture can be both homogeneous and heterogeneous in nature.
Homogeneous mixtures have a uniform composition throughout, such as salt dissolved in water.
Heterogeneous mixtures have a non-uniform composition, such as a salad.
The classification of mixtures into homogeneous and heterogeneous is based on the uniformity of their composition.
Examples of homogeneous mixtures include air, vinegar, and steel.
Examples of heterogeneous mixtures include oil and water, sand and iron filings, and a bowl of cereal in milk.

Additional Information

Homogeneous mixtures are also known as solutions.
In a homogeneous mixture, the different components are not visible to the naked eye.
In a heterogeneous mixture, the different components can be easily distinguished.
The process of separating the components of a heterogeneous mixture can often be done through physical means such as filtration or decantation.
Understanding the nature of mixtures is fundamental in chemistry and helps in the study of material properties and separation techniques.
