Examples of Heterogeneous Mixtures

There are some heterogeneous mixtures that can become homogeneous . In the case of supersaturated solutions of water with salt, these substances will depend on the conditions to change their ability to mix. If they are heated enough, the water particles will be able to make way for the salt particles, incorporating them until they are uniform throughout the mixture, taking on a homogeneous appearance. The same thing happens with the combination of water and sugar, for example.

If a liquid heterogeneous mixture is allowed to stand, one or more of the components begin to settle to the bottom of the container. It occurs between water and oil, that if they are not stirred, they separate by densities , leaving the water under the oil. This makes it easier for the components to be seen with the naked eye. In contrast, in macroscopic heterogeneous mixtures such as a salad, ingredients such as fruits and vegetables can be observed.
