Answer 1

Ink is a mixture because it is a mixture of water and dye.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ink is a mixture.

Explanation:

In general, matter can be categorized under two divisions:

• Pure substances and
• Mixture.

A substance is termed as pure when its constituent particles retain their chemical structure. A mixture contains a combination of pure substances in such a way that the individual properties of the components either remain the same or are altered to give a common characteristics.

Although pure substances can occur in mixtures, they can be separated easily, and one component does not affect the physical or chemical properties of the other.

Ink is an example. It is a combination of water and dyes. Water is a pure matter while the dyes could be either natural or man-made. Hence it is a mixture with the solvent, water, in its pure state.
