Homogeneous Mixture (Solution)
Captions available
The idea
A homogeneous mixture, also called a solution, has a uniform composition and looks the same in every sample taken from it.
In practice
Brass is a uniform solid solution of copper and zinc, so any two filed samples show the same composition.
Where people slip
"Solution" isn't limited to liquids or solids — air and a well-mixed sports drink both count as homogeneous mixtures too.
