60 Examples of Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Mixtures

On chemistry, a mix is the combination of two or more substances pure that come together without changing chemically. For this reason, it is possible to separate the components of the mixtures by certain physical procedures, such as filtration wave distillation. For example: water and sand, coffee with sugar, oil in water.

Mix types

In general, mixtures are classified into homogeneous and heterogeneous. Sometimes a third category is distinguished with intermediate characteristics: that of colloids. Mixes are found practically everywhere; many of the objects around us include mixtures, both homogeneous and heterogeneous:

The solutions are homogeneous mixtures, while the suspensions they are heterogeneous mixtures. But there is also a type of mixture that has intermediate properties between solutions and suspensions, and they are called colloids or colloidal systems. Examples of colloids are milk, gels, and emulsions.
