Question

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Mixtures

• Type of substances that contain two or more different components which are not chemically linked.
• The components retain their individual property even when they are mixed.
• The components present in a mixture can be separated.
• There are two types of mixtures, homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.

Homogeneous mixtures

• The components present in a mixture are generally in the same phase, where we can not distinguish the presence of components with our naked eye.
• The components present in the mixture have uniform composition and appearance.
• Salt solution and alloy are examples of a homogeneous mixture.

Heterogeneous mixtures

• The components present in the mixture are generally in a 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 of a heterogeneous mixture.

Sugar solution (sugar and water), and salt solution (salt and water) are good examples of solutions in a homogeneous mixture, where less than 1 nm sized particles are dissolved in the medium.

Therefore, the given statement is true. i.e..,a solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
