Question
State the main points of difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.

Answer

Those mixtures in which the substances are completely mixed together and are indistinguishable from one another, are called homogeneous mixtures. They have a uniform composition throughout its mass. All the homogeneous mixtures are called solutions.
Examples: Sugar solution, salt solution, copper sulphate solution, etc.
Those mixtures in which the substances remain separate and one substance is spread throughout the other substance as small particles, droplets or bubbles, are called heterogeneous mixtures. Heterogeneous mixture does not have a uniform composition throughout its mass.
Example: Starch solution, soap solution.

One of the forms of a naturally occurring solid compound $P$ is usually used for making the floors of houses. On adding a few drops of dilute hydrochloric acid to $P,$ brisk effervescence are produced. When $50g$ of reactant $P$ was heated strongly, than $22g$ of a gas $Q$ and $28g$ of a solid $R$ were produced as products. Gas $Q$ is the same which produced brisk effervescence on adding dilute $\text{HCl}$ to $P.$ Gas $Q$ is said to cause global warming whereas solid $R$ is used for white$-$washing.
