For Paint

  1. Is the mixture homogeneous or heterogeneous?
    Heterogeneous.

  2. Is it a solution, suspension, or colloid?
    Suspension.

  3. Explain your classification.
    Paint typically contains solid pigments suspended in a liquid medium, and the particles can settle when left undisturbed, indicating a suspension. The presence of these visible particles means that paint does not achieve a uniform composition throughout.

For Orange Juice

  1. Is the mixture homogeneous or heterogeneous?
    Heterogeneous.

  2. Is it a solution, suspension, or colloid?
    Suspension.

  3. Explain your classification.
    Orange juice often contains pulp and other solid particles that do not dissolve completely in the liquid, making it a suspension. Because you can see these particles and they can settle over time, it is classified as heterogeneous.

For Soda

  1. Is the mixture homogeneous or heterogeneous?
    Homogeneous.

  2. Is it a solution, suspension, or colloid?
    Solution (specifically, a carbonated solution).

  3. Explain your classification.
    Soda is a homogeneous mixture where sugar and carbon dioxide gas are dissolved in water, resulting in a uniform distribution of ingredients throughout the liquid. The bubbles of carbon dioxide may be visible, but they do not affect the overall uniformity of the mixture.

For Salad Dressing (Example)

  1. Is the mixture homogeneous or heterogeneous?
    Heterogeneous.

  2. Is it a solution, suspension, or colloid?
    Suspension.

  3. Explain your classification.
    Salad dressing, especially vinegar-based ones, often contain oil and various solid spices that do not fully integrate, leading to visible separation of components. This lack of uniformity indicates that it is a heterogeneous mixture and functions as a suspension.
