Question

Which one of the following will result in the formation of a mixture? (1 Point) Adding sodium metal to water Crushing of a marble tile into small particles Adding milk in water Breaking of ice cubes into small pieces

Answer 1

Answer:

Adding milk in water.

Explanation:

i) Adding sodium metal to water results in the formation of Sodium Hydroxide(NaOH), and liberates Hydrogen gas.

ii) The crushing of marble tiles into smaller pieces is simply a physical change and cannot be considered as a mixture.

iii)  Milk when added to water mixes with it in a random proportion as unlike in a compound, and does not show any chemical change which signifies that it is a mixture.

iv) The breaking of ice cubes is also a physical change which does not show the properties of a mixture.
