“White gold,” used in jewelry, contains gold and
another “white” metal such as palladium. Two
different samples of white gold differ in the
relative amounts of gold and palladium that they
contain. Both samples are uniform in
composition throughout. Without knowing any
more about the materials, how would you
classify this material?
Homogenous mixture because it is uniform throughout but does not have a specific, definite formula and ratios
