The correct option for whether air is a homogenous or heterogeneous mixture.
Answer to Problem 3RAT
The correct option for weather air is a homogenous or heterogeneous mixture is option (a).
Explanation of Solution
Mixture is formed when two components are combined together but their properties remain same and the components are not bonded chemically.
In a homogenous mixture the ratio of components is same throughout the mixture whereas in a heterogeneous mixture the components do not mix with each other properly and the mixture obtained is unstable.
Air is a mixture of different gases and water vapours and has the same composition of all components throughout because the components are mixed too well.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option is option (a).
