(a)
Interpretation: Carbonated soft drink needs to be identified as mixture or pure substance.
Concept Introduction: Practically all of the matter in environment consists of mixtures of different substance. For example, soil; it has many forms of components, air; it has mixture of many gases, etc.
(a)

Answer to Problem 4RQ
Carbonated soft drink is a mixture.
Explanation of Solution
Substance is made up of the similar types of the atoms. A sample of matter with both definite & constant composition and also distinct chemical properties called a pure substance. A mixture is the combination of similar or dissimilar components. The property of mixture depends on the components present in a mixture.
Carbonated soft drink is usually solutions of various substances dissolved in the water. In Carbonated soft drink, the components can be separated by many different physical methods (filtration, evaporation). Since, the amount of each of these can vary (flavoring, sugar, carbonation, color), it’s a mixture.
(b)
Interpretation: Table salt (sodium chloride) needs to be identified as mixture or pure substance.
