Question

when salt is dissolved in water, the resulting solution is a... compound heterogeneous mixture homogeneous mixture element

Explanation:

A compound is a pure substance formed by chemical bonding of elements. An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down further. A heterogeneous mixture has visibly different components. A homogeneous mixture (solution) has uniform composition. When salt (sodium chloride) dissolves in water, the salt ions disperse uniformly throughout the water. There are no visible boundaries or different components; it has a single - phase appearance.

Answer:

homogeneous mixture
