Air is a homogeneous mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, and other gases. Unlike a heterogeneous mixture, a homogeneous mixture is uniform throughout the sample. Homogeneous mixtures may, however, have properties that vary from sample to sample. For example, samples of seawater from the Pacific Ocean and the Dead Sea have different properties. Seawater from the Dead Sea has a higher density and greater concentration of dissolved minerals.
