question 6. which statement describes a mixture of sand and water at room temperature?
it is heterogeneous, and its components are in the same phase
it is heterogeneous, and its components are in different phases
it is homogeneous, and its components are in the same phase
it is homogeneous, and its components are in different phases

Explanation:

A homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition throughout, while a heterogeneous mixture has a non - uniform composition. Sand and water do not mix uniformly, so it is a heterogeneous mixture. Sand is a solid and water is a liquid at room temperature, so their components are in different phases.

Answer:

It is heterogeneous, and its components are in different phases.
