Max puts cereal in a bowl and pours mil over it. Which term best describes Max's bowl of cereal?

Question

A. homogeneous mixture
B. compound
C. pure substance
D. heterogenous mixture

Answer 1

The best term to describe Max's bowl of cereal, after he has poured milk over it, is:

D. heterogenous mixture

A heterogeneous mixture is a combination of substances where the individual components can be seen and are not uniformly distributed. In this case, the cereal and milk do not blend into a single substance, so they maintain their distinct properties.
