Question

Assertion (A): Steel is an example of a homogeneous mixture.
Reason (R): The components of a homogeneous mixture are uniformly distributed and are indistinguishable.

Which of the following holds true?

• A. A is false but R is true
• B. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
• C. A is true but R is false
• D. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer 1

The correct option is B Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon.
An alloy is an example of a homogeneous mixture because the components are uniformly distributed and are indistinguishable.
Therefore, steel is a homogeneous mixture of iron and carbon.
