Question

when sugar is dissolved in water, the solution is classified as a:
a heterogeneous mixture
b compound
c element
d homogenous mixture

Explanation:

A homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition throughout. When sugar dissolves in water, the sugar molecules are evenly distributed in the water, forming a solution with uniform properties (like taste, concentration) everywhere. A heterogeneous mixture has non - uniform composition (e.g., sand in water). A compound is a substance with a fixed ratio of elements (e.g., H₂O), and an element is a pure substance (e.g., O₂). So sugar - water solution is a homogeneous mixture.

Answer:

D. homogenous mixture
