Examples of homogeneous mixtures
Specific blends

The word "mixture" is used to refer to the combination of at least two different substances, without there being a chemical reaction between them. Despite this, each of the substances maintains its chemical properties, that is, they do not exist chemical changes absolutely.

Two types of mixtures can be identified: homogeneous and heterogeneous:

Heterogeneous mixtures: Are those in which can be distinguished, with the naked eye, the substances that make up the mixture (eg oil and water). That is why it is said that they are not uniform. since the substances do not combine. The same goes for a salad of, for example, lettuce and tomato.
Homogeneous mixtures: Instead, they are characterized by being uniform. That is, the human being will not be able to easily identify that it is at least two substances combined, since there is no discontinuity between them. Eg wine, gelatin, beer, coffee with milk.

Examples of homogeneous mixtures

Wine: This substance, which contains water, sugar, yeast and fruits that mix evenly is one more example of homogeneous mixtures.
Cake preparation: this mixture can be made up of flour, milk, butter, eggs and sugar, but if we look at it with the naked eye we will not be able to identify all these ingredients, but rather we see the preparation as a whole.
Alpaca: This solid mixture is made up of zinc, copper and nickel, all substances that the naked eye will not be able to detect.
Coffee with milk: When we prepare a coffee with milk, it remains as a homogeneous liquid mixture in which the coffee, water and milk cannot be identified with the naked eye. Rather, we see it as a whole.
White gold: This solid mixture is composed of at least two metallic substances. It is generally made from nickel, silver, and gold.
Flour with icing sugar: This mixture that we use for cooking is also homogeneous. Both ingredients cannot be detected with the naked eye.
Air: This mixture is composed of various gaseous substances, such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen and ozone, among other gases.
Water with salt: in this case, the salt is diluted in the water, so both substances cannot be detected separately, but rather are seen uniformly.
Mayonnaise: This dressing contains substances like egg, lemon and oil, which combine evenly.

Pizza mass: This dough, which contains flour, yeast, water, salt, among other ingredients, is homogeneous since they are mixed evenly.
Bronze: This alloy is an example of homogeneous substances since it is composed of tin and copper.
Milk: this mixture that we see in a uniform way is composed of substances such as water and fat.
Artificial juice: Powdered juices that are prepared with water are one more example of homogeneous mixtures since they bind uniformly.
Water and alcohol: no matter how hard we try, at first glance we see this liquid mixture as a whole since the water and alcohol mix evenly.
Steel: in this solid mixture it is an alloy of carbon and iron, which are mixed continuously.
Jelly: This preparation containing gelatin powder and water is homogeneous since both substances are mixed in a uniform way.
Detergent and water: When detergent is dissolved in water, we are faced with a homogeneous mixture since a single base is identified.
Chlorine and water: When these substances are placed in the same container, it is impossible to detect them with the naked eye since they are formed in a single phase.
Invar: This alloy can also be considered homogeneous since it is composed of nickel and iron.
Alnico: It is an alloy made up of cobalt, aluminum and nickel.
