Charlotte is making a salad and notices that the ingredients are mixed together evenly. How is this homogeneous mixture different from a heterogeneous mixture?

• homogenous mixtures have a uniform composition, while heterogenous mixtures do not.

• heterogenous mixtures can be separated easily, while homogenous mixtures cannot.

• homogenous mixtures contain only one type of substance, while heterogenous mixtures contain multiple types.

• heterogenous mixtures have a uniform composition, while homogenous mixtures do not.

Mason is making a fruit salad. Which of the following statements about the fruit salad mixture is true?

• mixtures can be separated by physical means.

• mixtures have fixed ratios of components.

• mixtures contain only one type of substance.

• mixtures cannot retain the properties of their components.

Rohan is working on a science project and needs to classify different substances. Why is it important for him to classify matter as elements, compounds, or mixtures?

• to make chemistry more complex.

• to understand how to separate them easily.

• to predict how substances will react and behave.

• to determine their color.
