1) A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture where the ingredients remain visible and separate after mixing and do not dissolve or blend uniformly. 2) Examples of heterogeneous mixtures include concrete (a mixture of aggregate, cement, and water), sugar and sand (where the sugar crystals and sand particles remain distinct), and ice cubes in fruit juice (where the ice and juice are different phases of matter and do not mix uniformly). 3) Heterogeneous mixtures can be produced from different phases of matter and involve ingredients that do not dissolve or blend uniformly with each other remaining visible after mixing.
