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.

$A, B$ and $C$ are all liquids. Liquid $A$ has a comparatively low boiling point. On heating, liquid a vaporizes completely without leaving behind any residue. Liquid $A$ is being used increasingly as a fuel in motor vehicles either alone or by mixing with petrol. Liquid $B$ has a very high boiling point. It also vaporizes completely on heating, without leaving any residue. Liquid $B$ is a conductor of electricity and used in making thermometers. Liquid $c$ has a moderate boiling point. On heating, liquid $C$ vaporises leaving behind a white solid $D$ which is used in cooking vegetables. The condensation of vapours from $C$ give a liquid $E$ which turns anhydrous $CuSO_4$ to blue.
