Question

A mixture of salt and sugar is an example of homogeneous mixture.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Homogeneous mixtures

• The components present in a mixture are in same phase, where we can not distinguish the presence of components with our naked eye
• Salt solution is an example of homogeneous mixture

Heterogeneous mixtures

• The components present in the mixture are generally in different phase, we can distinguish the presence of components with our naked eye since they remain physically separate
• Sand in water is a good example for heterogeneous mixture

In the case of a mixture of salt and sugar, we can easily identify the presence of both the particles since they differ in size and shape. i.e they remain physically separate

Therefore, the given statement is false. i.e a mixture of salt and sugar is not an example of homogeneous mixture.
