Interpretation: A solution needs to be explained as a homogenous mixture with two examples.
Concept introduction: A mixture is formed when two or more component mix together without undergoing any
A mixture can be divided into two categories (a) homogeneous mixture (b) heterogeneous mixture.
Answer to Problem 1A
A solution is a homogenous mixture. Soft drink and brass are examples of homogeneous mixture.
Explanation of Solution
Homogeneous mixture can be defined as a mixture where all the components are distributed uniformly. A solution is said to be a homogeneous mixture because all components are uniformly distributed throughout the solution. It means a portion from one part of the solution is the same as a portion from other part of the solution.
In a soft drink carbon dioxide, sweetener, and water forms single phase. Brass is an alloy which consists of copper and zinc is also a homogeneous mixture.
A solution is a homogenous mixture. Soft drink and brass are examples of homogeneous mixture.
