A solution is best described by which one of the following statements?
AA heterogeneous mixture of two solids
BA homogeneous mixture of two or more substances
CA pure substance made of one element
DA suspension that settles on standing still
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances
1. A solution is defined as a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
2. The solute is uniformly distributed throughout the solvent, so it does not settle.
3. This rules out a suspension, which is heterogeneous and settles.
4. Therefore the correct description is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
