Let’s go through each question one by one, step by step.
---
Question 1: This is a type of mixture where one substance dissolves into another
- A
solution is when one thing (like salt) dissolves completely in another (like water). You can’t see the pieces anymore.
- A
compound is chemically bonded — not just mixed.
-
Miscibility and
solubility are properties, not types of mixtures.
✔ So, correct answer:
A. Solution
---
Question 2: Which is an example of a solution?
-
Concrete = solid mixture, doesn’t dissolve → heterogeneous
-
Jelly beans = separate candies → not dissolved
-
Salt Water = salt dissolves in water → uniform throughout →
✔ solution
-
Salt and Sugar = two solids mixed, but not dissolved together → not a solution unless in water
✔ Correct answer:
C. Salt Water
---
Question 3: What type of mixture separates upon standing?
-
Solution = stays mixed forever (if sealed)
-
Suspension = particles settle out over time (like muddy water)
-
Alloy = solid solution (metal + metal), doesn’t separate
-
Colloid = particles stay suspended (like milk), don’t settle quickly
✔ Correct answer:
B. Suspension
---
Question 4: Which are different types of mixtures
Options:
- A. suspension → yes
- B. solution → yes
- D. colloid → yes
→ So “all the above” includes all three main types of mixtures based on particle size.
✔ Correct answer:
C. all the above
*(Note: Option C says “all the above”, which refers to A, B, and D — since D is listed after C, it’s still included in “all the above” as per standard quiz format.)*
---
Question 5: A colloid is a mixture that contains undissolved particles.
- In a colloid, particles are *not* dissolved — they’re small enough to stay suspended but not truly dissolved like in a solution.
- Example: Milk has fat droplets floating in water — not dissolved.
✔ So this statement is
True → Answer:
B. True
---
Question 6: What type of mixture contains liquids that normally don't mix well?
- Think oil and water — they don’t mix, but if you shake them with soap, you get an emulsion.
-
Emulsion = mixture of two liquids that usually don’t mix (like vinaigrette or mayonnaise).
- Alloy = metals
- Colloid = broader category (emulsions are a type of colloid)
- Solution = fully mixed/dissolved
✔ Best specific answer:
B. emulsion
---
Question 7: What is the solvent in a solution of kool-aid and water?
- Solvent = the stuff that does the dissolving (usually more amount)
- Solute = what gets dissolved (less amount)
- In Kool-Aid drink: powder (solute) dissolves in water (solvent)
✔ Correct answer:
B. water
---
Final Answer:
1. A
2. C
3. B
4. C
5. B
6. B
7. B
