Question

HOW CAN YOU TELL JUST BY LOOKING, IF  A MIXTURE IS MOST LIKELY HOMOGENEOUS OR HETEROGENEOUS?

msp · Answer

Homogeneous mixtures will look the same throughout. If you take a handful or cup full, it will be uniform. An example might be gasoline.
Heterogenous mixtures will be non-uniform and not consistent looking. You will be able to separate it physically. An example might be trail mix, where a small sample would be a different make up than the original bowl.

Different colors PROBABLY mean heterogenous; different shapes may mean the same.
