Question

A heterogeneous mixture is a

A. component added to sand that makes it inseparable.
B. mixture in which its components can't be separated.
C. mixture in which its components retain their identity.
D. mixture that always contains water.

Answer 1

The correct answer would be C, since in a heterogeneous mixture, components are mixed together, however they retain the same components and do not necessarily have the same ratio of ingredients throughout the mixture. An example of a heterogeneous mixture would be a salad since the vegetables/fruits still remain their identity.

Answer 2

C is the right answer
