Read each question carefully and provide your best answer. This worksheet assesses your understanding of homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.

1. Which of the following best describes a homogeneous mixture?

a

Components are uniformly distributed and indistinguishable.

b

Components are visible and distinct from each other.

c

Only one component is present.

d

Components react chemically to form a new substance.

2. Which of the following is an example of a heterogeneous mixture?

a

Saltwater

b

Air

c

Sand and water

d

Brass

3. A solution is a special type of   mixture.

4. The Tyndall effect is often observed in   mixtures, but not in   mixtures.

5. All heterogeneous mixtures are suspensions.

T

True

F

False

6. A colloid is an example of a homogeneous mixture.

T

True

F

False

7. Describe the key difference between a homogeneous mixture and a heterogeneous mixture, providing an example for each.

Use the words below to complete the sentences.

solution
suspension
colloid
uniform

8. In a  , the solute particles are very small and evenly distributed, making the mixture appear   throughout.

9. A mixture where particles are large enough to settle out over time is called a  , while a   has particles intermediate in size.
