The mixer includes a mixing body (22) with a reactant-receiving duct (34), an exhaust gas inlet opening device (54) with a plurality of exhaust gas inlet openings (56) leading to the reactant-receiving duct (34), and at least one releasing duct (40, 42) leading away from the reactant-receiving duct (34) with a releasing duct opening (48, 50) for releasing a reactant/exhaust gas mixture from the mixer body (22). An electrically energizable heater (68) is provided at the mixer body (22).
