(N/A) Homogeneous mixture: When we consider sea-water as a solution of various salts dissolved in water,it appears uniform throughout,making it a homogeneous mixture.
Heterogeneous mixture: In its natural state,sea-water contains not only dissolved salts but also suspended particles like mud,sand,decayed plant matter,and microorganisms. Because these components are not uniformly distributed and can be physically separated,it is classified as a heterogeneous mixture.
