Which of the following statements are true about solutions?

• A. They are heterogenous mixtures.
• B. They do not scatter a beam of light.
• C. They are homogenous mixtures.
• D. The solute particles are visible by naked eyes.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

They are homogenous mixtures.

$\bullet$ The substance present in a minor amount is known as solute and the one present in major amount is called solvent.
$\bullet$ The particles of the solute are so small that we can not see them by naked eyes. Due to their small size, they do not scatter a beam of light.
