AIts composition is uniform throughout its entire volume
BIts components can be separated by simple filtration
CIts components are all present in equal proportions
DIts solute settles slowly to the bottom on standing
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Its composition is uniform throughout its entire volume
1. A mixture holds two or more substances physically combined.
2. A solution is a homogeneous mixture, meaning its composition is uniform throughout its entire volume.
3. Because composition is uniform, the properties of any sample drawn from it are the same.
4. Equal proportions are not required, since most solutions have far more solvent than solute.
