No, rust is not a heterogeneous mixture. Rust is a chemical compound called iron oxide that forms when iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of water or moisture. It is a homogeneous substance with a specific chemical composition.
Rust is neither a solution or a homogeneous mixture. It is a heterogeneous mixture since it as a result of oxidizing iron.
It is a compound formed by the reaction of iron to oxygen and/or water. The most common compound is Fe2O3. This site has more information: http://www.chemicalformula.org/rust
No, rust is not a homogeneous mixture. Rust is a chemical compound that forms when iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of water or moisture. It is a solid metal oxide compound, not a homogeneous mixture of different substances.
Iron from rust is considered a homogeneous mixture because it is a single phase with uniform composition throughout - it consists of iron and oxygen atoms bonded together in a consistent pattern.
No, a mosquito is an organism and not a mixture. A heterogeneous mixture is a combination of different substances that are not uniformly distributed.
Fruit salad is a heterogeneous mixture because it contains different components that can be visually distinguished, such as pieces of various fruits.
Heterogenous, because the components are unevenly mixed throughout. However, smooth salsa is more homogeneous, and chunky is more heterogeneous. ;)
