Question

The physical properties of the components of a mixture are always retained.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

No, not always.
For example, consider a mixture of salt and water. Pure water has a density of 1 gm/cc. The density of salt water may go upto 1.5 gm/cc. So, clearly there is a difference in the physical properties. Although, it is also possible to maintain the physical properties also in certain cases like a mixture of oil and water where the individual physical properties are retained.
