Which of the following is heterogeneous?
- A.
Rain water
- B.
Clean air
- C.
Sea water
- D.
Kerosene
Correct Answer
C. Sea waterExplanation
Sea water is considered heterogeneous because it is a mixture of various substances such as salt, minerals, and organic matter. These components are not uniformly distributed throughout the water, resulting in a non-uniform appearance and composition. In contrast, rainwater and clean air are considered homogeneous because they consist of only one substance (water and gases, respectively) and have a uniform composition throughout. Kerosene is also a homogeneous substance as it consists of only one type of molecule.Rate this question:
