Question

A ______ has no properties of its own.

Answer 1

Mixture - when two or more substances are mixed physically in any variable proportion in such a way that they retain their individual properties is called a mixture.

For example - common salt solution, sugar solution, and salt and sand.

The solutes in the above-given example are sugar and salt that retain their characteristic taste and properties even upon mixing with water.

Therefore, a mixture has no properties of its own.
