Question

Which of the following best describes the properties of a solution?

• A. Solution is a homogeneous mixture
• B. The particles of a solution are smaller than 1nm in diameter
• C. It is composed of only one phase
• D. All of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A

Solution is a homogeneous mixture

B

The particles of a solution are smaller than 1nm in diameter

C

It is composed of only one phase

A solution is a homogeneous mixture and the particles are smaller than 1nm in diameter so, they cannot be seen with naked eyes. In such a mixture, a solute is a substance dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent. Solute and solvent molecules can be separated by physical processes like vaporization or distillation.
