Smog is another example of a heterogeneous mixture. This murky collection of pollutants can be a mixture of water and contaminants from burning gasoline or plastics, mixed with nitric oxide derivatives and ozone.
You can see that the smog distribution in the air illustrated below is not evenly spread out, but varies from one part of the atmosphere to another. Heterogeneous Mixtures A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the composition is not uniform throughout the mixture. Smog in New York City. Summary A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the composition is not uniform throughout the mixture. A phase is a separate layer in a heterogeneous mixture.
What is a heterogeneous mixture? Why is a bucket of sand and water heterogeneous? Describe the physical separation of a heterogeneous mixture.
What is an emulsion? What is an aerosol? A phase is any part of a sample that has a uniform composition and properties. By definition, a pure substance or a homogeneous mixture consists of a single phase.
A heterogeneous mixture consists of two or more phases. When oil and water are combined, they do not mix evenly, but instead form two separate layers.
Each of the layers is called a phase. Oil and water do not mix, instead forming two distinct layers called phases. The oil phase is less dense than the water phase and so the oil floats on top of the water. In the vegetable soup example, one phase would be the liquid soup itself.
This phase has vitamins, minerals, and other components dissolved in the water. This phase would be homogeneous. The carrots, peas, corn, or other vegetables represent other phases of the soup. The various vegetables are not mixed evenly mixed in the soup, but are spread around at random. There are a large number of heterogeneous mixtures around us. Soil is composed of a variety of substances and is often of different composition depending on the sample taken.
One shovel may come up with dirt and grass while the next shovel could contain an earthworm. Smog is another example of a heterogeneous mixture.

Summary A homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the composition is uniform throughout the mixture. A sugar solution is homogeneous since only a colorless liquid is observed.
Air with no clouds is homogeneous. For example beach sand is heterogeneous since you can see different colored particles. Vinegar and oil salad dressing is heterogeneous since two liquid layers are present, as well as solids. Air with clouds is heterogeneous, as the clouds contain tiny droplets of liquid water.
A solution is a mixture of two or more substances in a single phase. At least two substances must be mixed in order to have a solution. In most common instances water is the solvent. The gases, liquids, or solids dissolved in water are the solutes. In the graphic, the blue bottle is a homogeneous solution mixture of water, KOH, glucose, oxygen gas dissolved, and methylene blue - an indicator.
Since solutions are mixtures, their compositions may vary over a very wide range. The concentrations may be expressed using a variety of measures. The non-specific terms concentrated and dilute are sometimes used.
A concentrated solution has a relatively large but non-specific amount of solute dissolved in a solvent. A dilute solution has a smaller quantity of solute dissolved. Study of Matter.
