c. Chalk powder in water
b. Kerosene oil in water
d. None of these
​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) solution of sugar in water

Answer 2

Solution of sugar in water is an example of homogeneous mixture.

while  chalk powder in water and kerosene oil in water are heterogeneous mixture.

A homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which

• the constituents of the mixture exist in the same state and
• Are  uniformly distributed throughout the mixture and
• The components cannot be seen separately.

the solution of sugar in water is considered as homogeneous because sugar is completely soluble in water and is uniformly distributed in water.

the substance that get dissolved is known as solute and the substance that dissolves another substance is known as solvent.

in sugar water solution , the solute is sugar and the solvent is water.
