Is a pepperoni pizza homogeneous or heterogeneous? Explain your answer.

A pepperoni pizza is considered a heterogeneous mixture.

Explanation

• Heterogeneous Mixture: This type of mixture has a non-uniform composition, meaning the different components can be visually distinguished. In the case of a pepperoni pizza, you can see and identify the different ingredients such as the crust, cheese, sauce, and pepperoni slices.
• Homogeneous Mixture: This type of mixture has a uniform composition throughout, and the individual components are not visually distinguishable.

Since the components of a pepperoni pizza are distinct and can be seen separately, it is classified as a heterogeneous mixture.
