Work Step by Step
a. Vegetable soup has distinct layers (the vegetables, broth, etc.) and as such is a heterogeneous mixture.
b. Seawater is homogeneous because the salt is dissolved in the water; it appears as one substance.
c. Tea is homogenous because it has a uniform composition; there are not distinct layers.
d. Tea with ice and lemon slices is a heterogenous mixture because the ice (though it will eventually dissolve) and the lemons do not combine together to form a completely uniform liquid. Rather, they are distinct from the tea.
