the soda water contains carbon dioxide (CO2) and water that is perfectly dissolved under pressure.


(ii) Wood: Heterogeneous Mixture


Since the composition of wood varies from plant to plant thus wood is a heterogeneous mixture.


(iii) Air: Heterogeneous Mixture


Air contains various other gases mixed with it such as oxygen, nitrogen etc. due to this air is heterogeneous.


(iv) Soil: Heterogeneous Mixture


Example: Soil consists of various matters, sand, pebbles etc that makes it a heterogeneous mixture.
