Chapter 2: Q118P (page 85)

Is a solution a homogeneous or a heterogeneous mixture? Give an example of an aqueous solution.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution is a homogenous mixtureand an exampleNaCIis an aqueous solution.

Step by step solution

01

Difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture

In a homogenous mixture, the components are uniformly distributed while in a heterogenous mixture the components are not uniformly distributed.

02

Aqueous solution

From the definition, we can say that solution is a homogeneous mixture as in a solution the components are perfectly mixed for example on mixing salt () in the water we get a homogenous mixture or a solution.
