Question

The individual components of a solution_____.

Answer 1

Answer is: a) can be separated using physical means.

Solution is homogeneous mixture has the same proporties of its components throughout any given sample.

For example, mixture of water and alcohol ethanol, can be separated with distillation (process of heating and cooling).  

Water and alcohol do not form new compound.

Answer 2

Its been awhile since I've dabbled in chemistry, but i do know that A isnt the answer because the question says solution, not mixture. This looks somewhat like a trick question, it says individual components, so the answer would be C. This is because the individual components do react to form a compound. B and D would be true if it didnt say individual components, so the question is basically focusing on only one ingredient, not the whole solution. Answer: C
