Question

3. Which of the following forms a homogeneous mixture?
a) Water + Sand
c) Water + Chalk powder
b) Water + Sugar
d) Water + Oil

Answer 1

Water + Sugar

• Water + Sugar = Sugar Solution

Homogeneous mixture

Mixtures which have uniform composition throughout are called Homogeneous Mixture.

Examples :-

• Mixture of salt and water

• Soda water and etc.

Answer 2

b) Water + Sugar is the correct answer.

Explanation:

• A homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which composition is uniform throughout the mixture.
• The salt water described above is homogeneous because the dissolved salt is evenly distributed throughout the entire salt water sample. Often it is easy to confuse a homogeneous mixture with a pure substance because they are both uniform.
• The difference if that the composition of the substance is always the same.
• The amount of salt water can vary from one sample to another. All solutions would be considered homogeneous be cause the dissolved material is present in the same amount throughout the solution.
