* Homogeneous mixtures have a uniform composition throughout. This means that the components are evenly distributed and you can't easily distinguish them from each other.
* Heterogeneous mixtures have a non-uniform composition. You can visually identify different components or phases within the mixture.
Orange soda is a liquid with dissolved sugar, flavoring, and coloring agents. These components are evenly dispersed, and you can't see them as distinct particles. Therefore, it's a homogeneous mixture.
