heterogeneous

Explanation:

It would not be possible to do filtration for a homogeneous since the reactants have the same physical state. For example, to separate a mixture of alcohol and water, you have to do distillation as water and alcohol have different boiling points.

However, it is possible for a heterogeneous mixture to be filtered since the reactants have different physical states. For example, if you want to separate a mixture of water and sand, you can filter the mixture with filter paper. The water will pass through the filter paper and the sand will remain in the filter paper.
