Chapter 1: Problem 100

A good example of a homogeneous mixture is (a) a cola drink in a tightly capped bottle (b) distilled water leaving a distillation apparatus (c) oxygen gas in a cylinder used in welding (d) the material produced in a kitchen blender

Short Answer

Expert verified
The right answer is (a) a cola drink in a tightly capped bottle.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the choices

Analyze all the options given: (a) a cola drink in a tightly capped bottle signifies a homogeneous mixture because, once bottled and shaken, the cola drink has a uniform composition throughout. (b) Distilled water leaving a distillation apparatus implies a pure substance, not a mixture. (c) Oxygen gas in a welding cylinder denotes a pure substance rather than a mixture. (d) The material produced in a kitchen blender depends on what material is used, though generally this could be a heterogeneous mixture because the material can be separated.
02

Choosing the correct answer

Choose the option that best fits the definition of a homogeneous mixture. In this case, the most obvious choice is (a) a cola drink in a tightly capped bottle, as it displays uniformity throughout its composition.
