No. A solution is a homogeneous solution. A solution for example would be sugar dissolved in water (or salt dissolved in water), but a heterogeneous mixture would be sandy water or chunky vegetable soup.

No, a heterogeneous mixture contains different visible components that are not uniformly distributed, such as in a salad. A solution is a homogeneous mixture where the components are evenly distributed at a molecular level, like sugar dissolved in water.

NO and YES...by definition, a homogeneous mixture is a mixture who's components are EVENLY distributed and a solution is a homogeneous mixture of more than 1 solute dissolved in a solvent.

A heterogeneous mixture and a solution are not the same things. A heterogeneous mixture is made of a different substances that remain physically separated. A solution is a homogenous mixture.

Is heterogeneous mixture a solution?

No, a heterogeneous mixture is not a solution. In a heterogeneous mixture, the components are not evenly distributed and can be seen as separate phases, while in a solution, the components are evenly mixed at a molecular level.


Is a mixture heterogeneous?

Heterogeneous means of different types. So a heterogeneous mixture is a mixture of dissimilar items. Homogeneous means of the same type so a homogeneous mixture would be a mixture of similar items.A mixture where two or more substances are mixed together but are not chemically combined is called as an heterogeneous mixture.In chemistry, heterogeneous mixture is a mixture of two or more different substances in the form of solution or colloids. For example, salad is an heterogeneous mixtureA heterogenous mixture is not uniform in composition and properties throughout.


Would a solution be an example of a heterogenous mixture?

No, a solution is a homogeneous mixture where the solute (substance being dissolved) is evenly distributed in the solvent (dissolving substance). In a heterogeneous mixture, the components are not uniformly distributed and can be distinguished visually or physically.


Is Laundry Detergent a Heterogeneous mixture?

yes


Are solutions and mixtures the same thing?

When you do a math problem involving addition, such as 2+2=4, the 4, or the number that is after the equals sign is the solution, right? (Yes.) Adding in math is like mixing in chemistry. You add/mix two or more chemicals together to get a solution/mixture.
