Question

classify the following as a heterogeneous mixture (suspension), homogeneous mixture (solution), or a colloid: sea water or salt water

• homogeneous mixture (solution)
• heterogeneous mixture (suspension)
• colloid

Explanation:

Salt (and dissolved minerals in seawater) dissolves uniformly in water, creating a mixture with a consistent composition and no visible distinct phases or particles that settle out. This fits the definition of a homogeneous mixture (solution).

Answer:

homogeneous mixture (solution)
