Question

A mixture is what you get when you combine two substances in such a way that no chemical reaction occurs between the components. A solution is a mixture that looks exactly the same everywhere. Which of these mixtures is a solution? A) A fruit salad. B) A chocolate chip cookie. C) A mixture of sugar and salt. D) A mixture of sugar and water.

Answer 1

A solution is a mixture where the individual components cannot be made out.

Sugar dissolves in water, which results in a mixture of sugar and water. When the sugar dissolves, it is invisible to the human eye, but still exists at a molecular level. This makes the mixture a solution, as you cannot separate the sugar from the water visibly. The answer will be D) A mixture of sugar and water.

Answer 2

The answer is D because  the sugar will dissolve in water, the correct answer is a mixture of sugar and water.
