Let’s go through each question one by one and pick the correct answer based on what we know about solutions and mixtures.
---
Question 1:
*This is a type of mixture where one substance dissolves into another*
- A. Miscibility → This refers to how well two liquids mix, not the mixture itself.
- B. Solution → YES! A solution is when one thing (solute) dissolves in another (solvent).
- C. Solubility → This is how much can dissolve, not the mixture.
- D. Compound → That’s when atoms chemically bond — not just mixing.
✔ Correct:
B. Solution
---
Question 2:
*The substance that does the dissolving*
- A. Solute → No, that’s what gets dissolved.
- B. Solvent → YES! Like water in sugar water — it does the dissolving.
- C. Miscibility → Not a substance.
- D. Solution → That’s the whole mixture.
✔ Correct:
B. Solvent
---
Question 3:
*How much heat a substance like water can absorb before increasing its temperature*
- A. Solute → Nope, that’s part of a solution.
- B. Miscibility → About mixing liquids.
- C. Solubility → About dissolving amount.
- D. Heat capacity → YES! That’s exactly what this means — how much heat it takes to raise temp.
✔ Correct:
D. Heat capacity
---
Question 4:
*The substance getting dissolved*
- A. Solvent → Does the dissolving.
- B. Mixture → Too general.
- C. Solute → YES! Like sugar in tea — it gets dissolved.
- D. Solution → The whole thing.
✔ Correct:
C. Solute

Question 5:
*Image shows trail mix — nuts, candies, etc.*
*This is an example of a*
- A. Mixture → YES! You can see all the parts — they’re not dissolved or bonded.
- B. Solution → No, nothing is dissolved here.
✔ Correct:
A. Mixture
---
Question 6:
*Sugar dissolved in water is an example of a*
- A. Solution → YES! Sugar (solute) dissolves in water (solvent).
- B. Mixture → Technically true, but “solution” is more specific and correct for dissolved stuff.
✔ Correct:
A. Solution
---
Question 7:
*_______ are made up of solutes and solvents.*
We already learned:
- Solute = gets dissolved
- Solvent = does the dissolving
- Together they make a →
Solution
So the blank should be filled with “Solutions”
✔ Correct:
Solutions

Final Answer:
1. B
2. B
3. D
4. C
5. A
6. A
7. Solutions
