Question

1. Which of the following would likely form a heterogeneous mixture? (Points : 3)
A sand and water
B sugar and water
C baking soda and water
D salt and water

Answer 1

For the answer to the question above asking which of the following would likely form a heterogeneous mixture?

The answer would be sand and water
other choices like
,baking soda salt and sugar are soluble in water and form homogeneous solution

Answer 2

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the constituent particles are not uniformly distributed throughout the solution.

For example, a mixture of sand and water is a heterogeneous mixture because sand particles deposit at the bottom of water after sometime upon mixing.

Whereas sugar, baking soda, and salt are all soluble in water and their particles uniformly distribute into water. Hence, they form a homogeneous mixture.

Thus, we can conclude that sand and water would likely form a heterogeneous mixture.
