Question

Salt, sugar and many other substances dissolve in water to form a homogenous mixture.
(A) Homogenous mixture.
(B) Heterogeneous mixture.
(C) Ionic Compound.
(D) Molecular compound.

Answer 1

Hint: We know that in a solution, a substance known as a solute is dissolved in another substance known as a solvent. For example, when sugar is dissolved in water, it forms a solution. Here, sugar is the solute and water is the solvent.

Complete answer:
In chemistry, a solution can be defined as a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. The amounts of these substances can be varied continuously up to the limit of solubility. In a solution, the particle size of the components is about one nm. Some common examples of solutions are salt, or sugar in water, soda water, etc. All the components in a solution are in the same phase.
The particles in a solution are evenly distributed or it can be said that the solution has particle homogeneity. And due to this reason, samples taken from the solution will have the same properties and constitution of the components as that of the main solution. A solution has two components: a solvent and a solute. A solvent is a component that dissolves the other component. A solute is a component that is dissolved in the solvent. In general, we can say that the solvent is the major proportion of the solution. Or, in simple terms, the amount of solute in the solution is less than that of the solvent.
A mixture is a material system made up of two or more different substances which are mixed but are not combined chemically. A homogeneous mixture is a type of mixture in which the composition is uniform and every part of the solution has the same properties. Salt, sugar, and many other substances dissolve in water to form homogeneous mixtures.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

Note:
Remember that there is a difference between a mixture and a solution. Mixtures can be heterogeneous as well as homogeneous. Whereas, a solution can only be homogeneous in nature. For example, the air is a homogeneous mixture of gases in which both the solvent and the solute are gases.
