Question

8. Why is a freshly squeezed orange juice called heterogeneous mixture?
A. No change can be observed.
B. The components were completely dissolved.
C. The components cannot be separated completely.
D. The pulp component floats in a juice component.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A Orange juice contains particles of solid (pulp) as well as liquid; it is not chemically pure. B Because its composition is not uniform throughout, orange juice is a heterogeneous mixture.

Answer 2

The correct option is- D. The pulp component floats in a juice component.

• A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture that is formed due to the combination of two or more substances that are not equally distributed throughout. Hence, we can easily separate the mixture physically.
• A freshly squeezed orange juice is also an example of a heterogeneous mixture because we can separate the mixture physically as the orange pulp component of the mixture floats in a juice component.
