Understand the definition of a homogeneous mixture: it is a mixture that has a uniform composition and appearance throughout, meaning you cannot distinguish the different components by the naked eye.
Analyze each option to determine if it fits the definition of a homogeneous mixture:
1. Carbon dioxide gas is a pure substance, not a mixture, so it does not qualify.
2. Salt dissolved in water forms a solution where the salt ions are evenly distributed throughout the water, making it uniform and homogeneous.
3. Sand and iron filings form a heterogeneous mixture because you can see and separate the different components.
4. Copper metal is a pure element, not a mixture, so it does not qualify.
