Question

A solution of salt in water is a homogeneous mixture.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

A solution of salt i.e.; Sodium chloride $\left(\mathrm{NaCl}\right)$ dissolved in Water $\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)$ is a homogeneous mixture.

• This is because in common salt i.e.; sodium chloride particles are distributed uniformly in the water and there is uniformity in the properties of the mixture throughout the mass

Homogeneous mixture: A mixture that exhibits uniformity in its composition and properties throughout its mass is known as a homogeneous mixture. Example: A solution of salt and water, sugar solution, etc.

Heterogeneous mixture: A mixture that does not exhibit uniformity in its composition and properties throughout its mass is known as a heterogeneous mixture. Example: Muddy water, Sand, and Iron $\left(\mathrm{Fe}\right)$ nails combined together.

Therefore, the given statement is true.
