  • Is Dough a Mixture? Understanding Heterogeneous Mixtures
    Dough is a heterogeneous mixture. Here's why:

    * Heterogeneous mixtures have components that are not evenly distributed and can be easily identified.

    * Dough is made up of flour, water, yeast, and often other ingredients like sugar, salt, and fats. These components are not evenly mixed at a microscopic level. You can see the individual particles of flour and the air bubbles created by the yeast.

    Examples of other heterogeneous mixtures:

    * Salad

    * Sand and water

    * Oil and water

    Homogeneous mixtures, in contrast, have components that are evenly distributed and cannot be easily identified. Examples include:

    * Saltwater

    * Air

    * Sugar dissolved in water
