Question 4: Indicate the solvent and the solute for each solution.
In a solution:
-
Solvent: The substance that dissolves the other (usually present in greater amount).
-
Solute: The substance that is dissolved.
Let’s go through each:
#### a. Solution: water + salt
-
Solvent: Water (it dissolves the salt)
-
Solute: Salt
#### b. Solution: water + sugar
-
Solvent: Water
-
Solute: Sugar
#### c. Solution: Acetone + Nail polish
-
Solvent: Acetone (used to dissolve nail polish)
-
Solute: Nail polish
#### d. Solution: Water + ink
-
Solvent: Water
-
Solute: Ink
#### e. Solution: Alcohol + iodine
-
Solvent: Alcohol (commonly used as a solvent for iodine)
-
Solute: Iodine
#### f. Solution: water + food coloring
-
Solvent: Water
-
Solute: Food coloring

Question 5: Roy was performing an experiment.
He put in the cup:
water, sugar, syrup, oil, and pine nuts, then stirred them.
#### a. State the type of the mixture?
This mixture contains:
-
Water (liquid)
-
Sugar (solid, soluble in water)
-
Syrup (viscous liquid, may dissolve in water)
-
Oil (immiscible with water — forms separate layer)
-
Pine nuts (solid particles, do not dissolve)
Since multiple substances are mixed but
not all dissolve, and we see
oil separating and
solids floating or sinking, this is
not a uniform mixture.
➡️ This is a
heterogeneous mixture because its composition is not uniform throughout.
> 🔍
Answer: Heterogeneous mixture
#### b. Is this mixture a solution? Choose the correct answer.
A
solution is a
homogeneous mixture where the solute is completely dissolved in the solvent.
Here:
- Oil does
not mix with water.
- Pine nuts remain as
solid particles.
- Not everything is dissolved.
So, it is
not a solution.
>
✔ Answer: No, it is not a solution.

✔ Final Answers:
Question 5:
a. Type of mixture:
Heterogeneous mixture
b. Is it a solution?
No
