Which of the following is an example of homogeneous mixture?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer:
Option 2: Salt dissolved in water
Explanation:
A homogeneous mixture is one in which all components are uniformly distributed and the composition is the same throughout. Salt dissolved in water is a classic example. When salt dissolves, it forms a solution where the particles are not visible and are evenly spread. Water acts as the solvent and salt as the solute. Hence, it is a homogeneous mixture. This is a fundamental concept in chemistry and frequently asked in exams.
Additional Facts:
Option 1: Oil and water form a heterogeneous mixture.
Option 3: Salt and sulphur are not uniformly mixed.
Option 4: Sodium chloride and iron filings form a heterogeneous mixture.
