  2. 1. Soda Water:
    – Homogeneous mixture.
    – Uniform composition throughout.
    – Combination of water and dissolved gases.

    2. Vinegar:
    – Homogeneous mixture.
    – Displays uniform composition.
    – Solution of acetic acid in water.

    3. Air:
    – Homogeneous mixture.
    – Uniform blend of gases (mainly nitrogen and oxygen).
    – Consistent composition throughout the atmosphere.

    4. Wood:
    – Heterogeneous mixture.
    – Non-uniform appearance.
    – Composed of cellulose, lignin, and other substances.

    5. Soil:
    – Heterogeneous mixture.
    – Non-uniform due to varied components.
    – Contains minerals, organic matter, water, and air pockets.

    6. Filtered Tea:
    – Homogeneous mixture.
    – Solutes evenly dispersed in the liquid.
    – Uniform composition in the filtered state.

    7. Scale of Observation:
    – Classification can depend on the scale of observation.
    – Wood may appear homogeneous on a small scale but reveals heterogeneity at a larger scale.
    – The distinction between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures is based on the uniformity or lack thereof in their compositions and appearances.
