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.

There are three substances $X, Y$ and $Z.$ The substance $X$ does not have a fixed melting point or boiling point and it still shows the individual properties of its constituents. The substance $Y$ is a pure substance which occurs in nature as such. The substance $Y$ has a fixed melting point and boiling point but it cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any chemical means. The substance $Z$ is also a pure substance whose properties are entirely different from those of its constituents. The substance $Z$ can, however, be divided by electrolysis into two substances which belong to the same class of substances as $Y.$
  1. What type of substance could $X$ be$?$ Name one substance like $X.$

A liquid compound $X$ of molecular mass $18u$ can be obtained from a number of natural sources. All the animals and plants need liquid $X$ for their survival. When an electric current is passed through $200$ grams of pure liquid $X$ under suitable conditions, then $178$ grams of gas $Y$ and $22$ grams of gas $Z$ are produced. Gas $Y$ is produced at the positive electrode whereas gas $Z$ is obtained at the negative electrode. Moreover, gas $Y$ supports combustion whereas gas $Z$ burns itself causing explosions.
