Chapter 11: Problem 31

You have sweetened iced tea with sugar, and ice cubes are present. How many phases are present?

Short Answer

Expert verified
There are two phases present: the liquid iced tea and the solid ice cubes.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the types of matter

Here, we have three types of matter: iced tea, sugar, and the ice cubes.
02

Determine the phases

Iced tea is a liquid phase, sugar in the iced tea would be considered a solute dissolved in the liquid phase, so it would not be a separate phase. Ice cubes are solid water, which is a different phase from the liquid tea.
