Chapter 1: Problem 93

Which one of the following is a homogeneous mixture: orange juice with pulp, wood, fog, bronze (made by melting copper and tin together)?

Short Answer

Expert verified
Fog and bronze are homogeneous mixtures.

Step by step solution

01

Orange Juice with Pulp

Orange juice with pulp consists of liquid orange juice and solid pulp particles. Thus, it has two phases, and it's not uniformly distributed. So, it's not a homogeneous mixture.
02

Wood

Wood is a composite material made of cellulose fibers embedded in a matrix of lignin. Even though these components are mixed together, wood usually has visible grains and other structures, indicating it is not uniformly distributed. Therefore, it's not a homogeneous mixture.
03

Fog

Fog is a dispersion of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in air. At a microscopic level, the droplets and the air mixture may not be uniformly distributed, but observing from a larger perspective, it appears to be consistent. Thus, it can be considered as a homogeneous mixture.
04

Bronze

Bronze is an alloy made by melting copper and tin together. In this process, copper and tin atoms are mixed into a solid solution at the atomic level, and it has a uniform distribution of constituent elements throughout the material. Therefore, it's a homogeneous mixture. So, among the given options, the homogeneous mixture is:
05

Answer:

Fog and bronze are homogeneous mixtures.
