The different components are not visibly distinguishable, and the mixture appears as a single phase (solid, liquid, or gas). Examples include air, saltwater, and vinegar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, a <strong>heterogeneous mixture<\/strong> has visibly distinct components or phases. The composition is not uniform throughout the sample. Examples include sand and water or oil and vinegar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Analysis of Each Option:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A) Gasoline<\/strong><br>Gasoline is a <strong>homogeneous mixture<\/strong>. It is a blend of hydrocarbons and sometimes additives, all thoroughly mixed to form a uniform liquid. You cannot distinguish the different compounds in gasoline with the naked eye or through simple separation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>B) Vegetable oil and water<\/strong><br>This is a <strong>heterogeneous mixture<\/strong>. Oil and water do not mix uniformly. They form two separate layers because oil is non-polar and water is polar. You can easily distinguish the two components, which means this is not a homogeneous mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>C) Sugar dissolved in water<\/strong><br>This is a <strong>homogeneous mixture<\/strong>. Once the sugar dissolves completely, it forms a uniform solution. You can no longer see the sugar, and the solution appears the same throughout, even though it contains two substances (sugar and water).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Correct Answer: D) A and C<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A (Gasoline)<\/strong> and <strong>C (Sugar dissolved in water)<\/strong> are both <strong>homogeneous mixtures<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B (Vegetable oil and water)<\/strong> is a <strong>heterogeneous mixture<\/strong> because the components remain physically separate and do not mix uniformly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding the nature of mixtures is essential in chemistry and practical applications like cooking, fuel formulation, and pharmaceuticals, where uniformity is often critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-338.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-218770\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.
