Question

It is possible to make a mixture by combining any 2 or more random substances.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Let’s figure this out together.
You probably were thinking about mixing a variety of substances and thought anything could be made a mixture.
But by definition, 2 chemically reactive substances cannot form a mixture because their individual properties are not retained. They change their properties completely and form a new product.
In a mixture, the components that were mixed together need to retain their original chemical properties even though physical properties might change. Also, it is often possible to separate mixtures by mechanical methods.
