Question

During a laboratory experiment on buoyancy force, a student weighs object A in air and recorded its mass as 36.0 g. If the object has an approximate volume of 8.0 cm^3, estimate the apparent weight when the object is fully immersed in water of density, 1 g/cm^3 (3)

Answer 1

A solution is defined as a:

A .

Homogeneous mixture of two or more substances

B .

Heterogeneous mixture of two or more substances

C .

Homogeneous mixture of liquid and solid components only

D .

Homogeneous mixture consisting of water as one of the components

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. A solution may exist in any phase. 

A solution consists of a solute and a solvent. 

The solute is the substance that is dissolved in the solvent.

For example, in a saline solution, salt is the solute dissolved in water as the solvent.
