Question

1. kate was drinking grape juice one morning at breakfast. she had been learning about solutions, so she started thinking about what the juice was made of. which definition matches the word solution?

a mixture in which the particles can be easily seen and separated
b a heterogeneous mixture that can be separated by filtration
c a mixture in which the particles do not settle out (do not mix all the way)
d a homogeneous mixture in which a substance is dissolved in a liquid

Explanation:

A solution is a homogeneous mixture. In a solution, the solute (substance being dissolved) is uniformly distributed in the solvent (liquid). Option A describes a heterogeneous mixture (not a solution). Option B is about a heterogeneous mixture separated by filtration (not a solution). Option C is incorrect as in a solution, particles are well - mixed (not just not settling out in the sense of not being fully mixed). Option D correctly defines a solution as a homogeneous mixture where a substance (solute) is dissolved in a liquid (solvent).

Answer:

D. a homogeneous mixture in which a substance is dissolved in a liquid
