Characteristics of mixtures Mixtures can be characterized by being separable by mechanical means eg heat, filtration, gravitational sorting, centrifugation etc Mixtures can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous' a mixture in which constituents are distributed uniformly is called homogeneous, such as salt in water, otherwise it is called heterogeneous, such as sand inHeterogeneous mixtures They are those in which the substances that make up the mixture can be distinguished with the naked eye They are said to be not uniform as the substances do not combine chemically For example oil and water, or a lettuce and tomato salad Suspensions or colloids are the prominent examples of heterogeneous mixtures The suspension has small particles of solute that can be easily identified by the naked eye The constitutes are not mixed in uniform proportion, which results in the formation of such mixtures Example Of Heterogeneous Mixture Slide Share Examples of heterogeneous mixtures found at home
