Explanation:
When two or more substances mix together but they do not combine chemically with each other then it is known as a mixture.
For example, sand in water is a mixture.
Mixtures can be separated by physical processes like filtration, fraction distillation etc.
Also, when a substance is soluble in another liquid then the substance is known as solute whereas the liquid is known as solvent.
A solute is always present in less quantity as compared to the solvent in a solution.
For example, gelatin powder is dissolved in hot water. Here, gelatin is the solute and hot water is the solvent.
Therefore, we can conclude that the following statements are true.
- Mixtures can be broken apart by physical processes.
- Gelatin powder is dissolved in hot water.
