QuestionClassify these mixtures as homogeneous or heterogeneous: food coloring in water, tea with sugar, sand and gravel, mixed nuts.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. A homogeneous mixture is a mixture where the components that make up the mixture are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture. The composition of the mixture is the same throughout. . A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture where the components of the mixture are not uniform or have localized regions with different properties. Different samples from the mixture are not identical to each other.

STEP 2

Now, let's classify each of the given mixtures as either homogeneous or heterogeneous.

STEP 3

First, consider the mixture of food coloring dissolved in water. Once the food coloring is fully dissolved, it is uniformly distributed throughout the water. Therefore, this is a homogeneous mixture.
"food coloring dissolved in water""Homogeneous Mixture"\text{"food coloring dissolved in water"} \rightarrow \text{"Homogeneous Mixture"}

STEP 4

Next, consider the mixture of a cup of tea and sugar. Once the sugar is fully dissolved, it is uniformly distributed throughout the tea. Therefore, this is also a homogeneous mixture.
"a cup of tea and sugar""Homogeneous Mixture"\text{"a cup of tea and sugar"} \rightarrow \text{"Homogeneous Mixture"}

STEP 5

Now, consider the mixture of a bucket full of sand and gravel. The sand and gravel are not uniformly distributed. Therefore, this is a heterogeneous mixture.
"a bucket full of sand and gravel""Heterogeneous Mixture"\text{"a bucket full of sand and gravel"} \rightarrow \text{"Heterogeneous Mixture"}

STEP 6

Finally, consider the mixture of peanuts and almonds mixed together in a bowl. The peanuts and almonds are not uniformly distributed. Therefore, this is also a heterogeneous mixture.
"peanuts and almonds mixed together in a bowl""Heterogeneous Mixture"\text{"peanuts and almonds mixed together in a bowl"} \rightarrow \text{"Heterogeneous Mixture"}

STEP 7

Now, let's fill in the table with our results\begin{tabular}{|l|l|} \hline Homogeneous Mixture & Heterogeneous Mixture \\ \hline food coloring dissolved in water, a cup of tea and sugar & a bucket full of sand and gravel, peanuts and almonds mixed together in a bowl \\ \hline\end{tabular}
