Question

sugar dissolves completely in water to form a solution. this solution is a

a heterogeneous compound
b homogeneous compound
c homogeneous mixture
d heterogeneous mixture

Explanation:

• A compound is a pure substance with a fixed composition. A sugar - water solution is a mixture (not a compound) because it contains two substances (sugar and water) that are physically combined.
• A homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition throughout. Since sugar dissolves completely in water, the sugar - water solution has a uniform composition (the sugar molecules are evenly distributed among water molecules). A heterogeneous mixture has a non - uniform composition (e.g., sand in water where you can see distinct phases).

Answer:

C. homogeneous mixture
