Question

Joshua dissolved sugar in water to create a sugar solution. His friend Ray tells him it’s a compound, but Joshua corrects him. Which words actually describe the sugar solution?

A. gas
B. liquid
C. mixture
D. solid

Answer 1

It's a mixture or letter C

Answer 2

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A heterogenous mixture is a liquid in which solute molecules uniformly distribute into the solvent.

Sugar is a substance which is when added to water then it readily dissolves in it. Hence, we can see a clear solution in which solute molecules completely dissolve into the solvent.

Thus, we can conclude that liquid and mixture are the words that actually describe the sugar solution.
