    Question

    Which of the following is NOT an example of homogeneous mixture?

    A.

    A mixture of copper sulphate in water

    B.

    A mixture of sugar in water

    C.

    A mixture of salt in water

    D.

    A mixture of iron nails in water

    Correct option is D

    The correct answer is: (D) A mixture of iron nails in water
    Explanation:
    A homogeneous mixture is a mixture that has a uniform composition throughout, meaning that the different components cannot be visually distinguished from each other. On the other hand, a heterogeneous mixture has visibly different components or phases.
    Key points:
    • A mixture of copper sulphate in water: Homogeneous, as the copper sulphate dissolves completely in water, creating a uniform solution.

    • A mixture of sugar in water: Homogeneous, as sugar dissolves completely in water, forming a uniform solution.

    • A mixture of salt in water: Homogeneous, as salt dissolves completely in water, forming a uniform solution.

    • A mixture of iron nails in water: Heterogeneous, because iron nails do not dissolve in water and remain as solid particles, making the mixture visibly non-uniform.


    Information Booster:

    • Homogeneous mixtures: The components are evenly distributed, and the mixture appears uniform throughout.

    • Heterogeneous mixtures: The components are not evenly distributed, and the individual parts can be easily distinguished.

    • Homogeneous mixture examples: Solutions like saltwater, sugar in tea, air, and alloys.

    • Heterogeneous mixture examples: Sand and water, salad, granite, and iron nails in water.
