Question

Milk and water dissolve in each other. They are:
A) Immiscible liquids
B) Solvent and solutions
C) Miscible liquids
D) None of the above

Answer 1

Hint:We are given that milk and water dissolve in each other. To solve this we must know the term used for two liquids that dissolve in each other. To solve this we will use the option solving approach.

Complete answer
We are given that milk and water dissolve in each other. Milk and water dissolve in each other and form a homogeneous substance.

The liquids that do not mix into each other are known as immiscible liquids. Immiscible liquids do not form a homogeneous substance. Thus, milk and water are not immiscible liquids. Thus, option (A) is not correct.

The solvent is the substance used to dissolve the solute and is more in quantity in the solution than the solute. The solution is defined as a homogeneous mixture of two substances that do not react with each other. Thus, milk and water are not solvent and solutions. Thus, option (B) is not correct.

The liquids that mix into each other are known as miscible liquids. Miscible liquids form a homogeneous substance. Thus, milk and water are miscible liquids.Thus, option (C) is correct.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C) miscible liquids.

Note:A mixture of two miscible liquids is separated using the fractional distillation process. The process of fractional distillation is used to separate two miscible liquids that have different boiling points. But milk contains proteins and fats that are suspended in water and thus, milk and water cannot be separated.
