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.

Is heterogeneous mixture a solution?

A solution is a solid (the solvent) dissolved in a liquid (the solute). A heterogeneous mixture is two substances in different states (i.e. a gas and a liquid) that are in the same space and are in contact with each other. When you have a solution that is a gas-gas or a liquid-liquid or possibly a solid-solid solution, the matter of greater amount is the solute. A solution is an example of a homogeneous mixture (can't see the particles with a naked eye). But with heterogeneous mixtures, you can see the particles.


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.

What is a homogenous mixture and how is it different from a heterogeneous mixture?

A homogeneous mixture is one in which the components are uniformly distributed, so that it is the same throughout. A solution is a homogeneous mixture. A heterogeneous mixture is one in which the components are easily distinguishable and are not uniformly distributed. Granite is an example of a heterogeneous mixture.

Is nitrogen a element a compound or a solution or heterogeneous mixture?

It is a diatomic element. As such, it would be a solution. It is not a heterogenous mixture because heterogenous means nonuniform. N2 is uniform because it is composed of all the same element in the same proportion. It's a solution.
