Question

The passage refers to solutions as homogeneous mixtures. what is the best definition of a homogeneous mixture?

a.a mixture that is uniform throughout
b.a mixture of large particles in a medium that will settle
c.a mixture of particles that remains suspended in a medium
d.a mixture in which the components are easily distinguishable

Answer 1

The answer would be: a.a mixture that is uniform throughout

A homogenous mixture would be hardly distinguishable since the solute spread evenly inside the solvent. A heterogeneous mixture is not spread evenly so it is easily distinguishable.A suspension has a big molecule solute that will slowly settle and make sediment at the base of the solution. A colloid mixture is suspended but it won't settle like suspension does.
