Question

Which of the following statements is true? The atmosphere is an example of a solution. In a glass of sugar water, sugar is the solvent. The individual substances in a mixture lose their original chemical properties. All of the above.

Answer 1

All of the above is the correct answer sir have a great day!

Answer 2

Answer : The true statement is, The atmosphere is an example of a solution.

Explanation :

Mixture : It is defined as the substance that is made by the combination of two or more different components.

Solution : It is a mixture in which the minor component (solute) is uniformly distributed within the major component (solvent).

Solute : It is the component which is present in smaller proportion and is solid for solid in liquid solution.

Solvent : It is the component which is present in larger proportion and is liquid for solid in liquid solution.

Homogeneous mixtures : It is defined as the mixtures that appears uniformly throughout the solution and the particle size or shapes are not different.

Heterogeneous mixtures : It is defined as the mixtures which appears non-uniformly throughout the solution and the particle size or shapes are also different.

• The atmosphere is an example of a solution.

This statement is true because atmosphere is an example of heterogeneous mixtures which is a part of solution.

• In a glass of sugar water, sugar is the solvent.

This statement is wrong because sugar is solute and water is solvent.

• The individual substances in a mixture lose their original chemical properties.

This statement is wrong because the individual substances in a mixture retain their original chemical properties.

Hence, the true statement is, The atmosphere is an example of a solution.
