A child has a small rubber ball that is filled with water and glitter. When the ball is bounced the glitter spreads around the inside of the toy then settles back at the bottom. The mixture inside the toy would be considered which of the following? Homogeneous

Solution

Heterogeneous

Colloid

Heterogeneous

Explanation:

A heterogeneous mixture is a non-uniform composition in which particles of far larger size are suspended in a phase and can be easily separated from each other. In a heterogeneous mixture, the gravity pulls the suspended particles down out of solution.

The given example is a heterogeneous mixture in which glitter particles are suspended inside the toy and settles back at the bottom due to gravity. The glitter particles can also easily separated from the toy.

Hence, the correct answer is "Heterogeneous".
