Question

What can we interpret about the nature of ink ? (1)

(a) We cannot separate components of ink. (b) Ink is not a mixture

(c) Ink is pure substance. (d) Ink is a mixture of dyes in water.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is D :Ink is a mixture of dyes in water.

Explanation:

Ink is formed by mixing different dyes in water. Dyes can be natural or artificial. In ink water acts as solute where dyes act as solvent. Since the constituents of Ink do not have fixed chemical composition it is not a pure compound rather it is a mixture.

The components of a mixture can be separated easily while in case of compounds  the separation of constituents is not easy. So, components of ink can be separated.

Therefore, from the above discussion it is clear that option D is correct.
