Compare and contrast homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures using key terminology, and provide at least three examples of each. For example, explain what the mixture is comprised of and what makes it homogeneous or heterogeneous.

There are two kinds of mixtures which are homogeneous and the heterogeneous. Homogeneous mixtures are mixtures that maintain the same uniform appearance and composition throughout; whereas, heterogeneous mixtures are mixtures that contain different visible substances or phases. Here are examples of each mixture.

Homogeneous mixtures: Rainwater, Air and Dishwashing detergent (This kind of mixture only shows one phase of matter)

Heterogeneous mixtures: cereals with milk, ice in soda and mixed nuts. (Obviously, this kind of mixture contains different phases of matter either in liquid, solid or gas).
