Definition of Homogeneous Mixture



A type of mixture in which there is a uniform composition throughout the mixture is called a homogenous mixture. The amount of the substance in a homogenous mixture always remains constant. On the contrary, the composition of a mixture tends to vary in the heterogeneous mixtures.

 


As the dissolved substance exists in the same amount throughout the solution, therefore all such solutions are considered homogenous. It is one of the characteristics of the mixtures that they can be separated into their respective components. The identity of the components remains the same as the parts of the mixture do not react with one another.
