Solution

The correct option is A True

A solution of salt i.e.; Sodium chloride (NaCl) dissolved in Water (H2O) 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 (Fe) nails combined together.

Therefore, the given statement is true.
