A mixture in which the composition is uniform throughout (like sugar dissolved in water) is called:

  1. Heterogeneous mixture
  2. Homogeneous mixture (solution)
  3. Compound
  4. Suspension
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Homogeneous mixture (solution)

In a homogeneous mixture (also called a solution), the components are uniformly distributed at the molecular level. Sugar in water, salt in water, and air (gases) are examples. The composition is the same throughout — every spoonful tastes equally sweet.

In a sugar solution, what is sugar called?

  1. Solute
  2. Suspension
  3. Filtrate
  4. Solvent
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Solute

Solute is the substance that GETS DISSOLVED. Solvent is the substance that DOES THE DISSOLVING. In sugar+water, sugar is the solute and water is the solvent. The result is a solution.

A mixture of sand and water settles over time with sand at the bottom and clear water above. This is a:

  1. Heterogeneous mixture
  2. Homogeneous mixture
  3. Compound
  4. Solution
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Heterogeneous mixture

In sand + water, the sand particles are visible and don't dissolve — composition isn't uniform. So this is a heterogeneous mixture. Filtration easily separates them.
