Solution

Mixture:

  • Mixtures are formed when two or more substances mixed together without the formation of chemical bonding.
  • The substances need not necessarily mix in a fixed ratio to form a mixture.
  • Some examples of mixtures include mixtures of sand and water, mixtures of sugar and salt, and mixtures of lime juice and water.
  • There are two primary types of mixtures, namely homogeneous mixtures and heterogeneous mixtures.

Justification:

  • Homogeneous mixtures are the types of mixtures in which the components mixed are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture and there is no boundary of separation of these constituents.
  • So, a mixture can be homogeneous only if the constituents are uniformly mixed.

So, the given statement that all mixtures are homogeneous is incorrect.
