A student adds salt to a beaker of water and stirs until the salt is no longer visible. A sample taken from the top of the beaker has the same composition as a sample taken from the bottom.

How should the saltwater be classified?

Element, because only one substance is visible
Compound, because the salt and water chemically combine
Homogeneous mixture, because the composition is uniform throughout
Heterogeneous mixture, because two substances were originally added
