In sicence we learned about the two types of mixtures one is like trail mix that can be seperated easily and the other type is like salt water it can be seperated but not as easy. I need to know what are the names of both types of mixtures. Thanks and when you anwer please say the name and it's either the trail mix or salt water. Thank you!!

salt water is a homogenous mixture and trail mix is a heterogenous mixture

Homogeneous mixtures
Homogeneous mixtures are mixtures that have definite, true composition and properties. For example, any amount of a given mixture has the same composition and properties. Examples are solutions and some alloys (but not all). Homogeneous mixtures can also be called "impure substances." A homogeneous mixture is a uniform mixture consisting of only one phase.
Solutions
Main article: Solution
One type of homogeneous mixture is a solution. A solution is a substance homogeneous mixture of two or more substances (the solutes) dissolved in another substance (the solvent). A common example would be a solid dissolving into a liquid (i.e. salt or sugar dissolving in water or gold into mercury). Liquids dissolve into one another, and sometimes liquids dissolve into gases, for example water vapor in the atmosphere. Common examples include soft drinks (like Coca-Cola and Sprite), where carbon dioxide is trapped in the soda through carbonation. Several solution properties collectively called colligative properties change as a function of solute concentration. Solubility is a compound property.
Heterogeneous mixtures
Heterogeneous mixtures are mixtures without definite composition, for example, granite. Salad is a typical example of this kind of mixture. Heterogeneous mixtures are said to have several phases (not to be confused with phases of matter). An example is the parts of a heterogeneous composition, which can be mechanically separated from the rest. Examples include: salad, trail mix, milk (before homogenization).

Salt water = homogeneous mixture
Trail Mix = heterogeneous mixture

A solution in which a substance dissolves and is hard to separate is called soluble, the opposite is insoluble.
