Answer:
A solution is a heterogeneous mixture
Explanation:
This statement that a solution is a heterogeneous mixture is completely and totally wrong.
A solution is a homogeneous mixture.
Homogeneous mixtures have their constituents existing in just one phase.
- It is a homogeneous mixture of solutes and solvents.
- In a solution, the solutes particles are distributed uniformly in the solvent.
- The solute is the substance that is dissolved to make the solution.
- Solutes are usually present in a small amount than the solvent.
- The solvent acts as the dispersing medium which allows the solute to go into the solution.
- The solute can be solid, liquid or gas.
Answer: The ratio of carbon dioxide molecules to oxygen molecules is 20 :31
Explanation:
Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
The balanced combustion reaction is,:

Thus the ratio of carbon dioxide molecules to oxygen molecules is 20 : 31
