The ‘sea-water’ can be classified as a homogeneous as well as heterogeneous mixture. Comment.
Seawater can be termed as homogeneous as well as a heterogeneous mixture because Seawater is basically a salt solution, hence, it is termed as homogeneous.
As the concentration of salt in the sea can vary from place to place and it contains mud, sand and decayed parts of plants, hence, seawater is considered heterogeneous as well.
