Question

1 identify the solution, solvent, and solute shown in the homogenous mixture model. then provide justification for your answer. salt: _ justification: _ water: _ justification: _ salt water: _ justification: _ 2 a student claims that saltwater is a homogenous mixture. provide evidence to support this claim.

Explanation:

1. Salt: Solute. Justification: In a salt - water mixture, salt is the substance that dissolves in water. It is present in a smaller amount compared to water and its particles are dispersed throughout the water.
2. Water: Solvent. Justification: Water is the substance that dissolves the salt. It is the component of the mixture that is present in the largest amount and allows the salt to disperse evenly.
3. Salt water: Solution. Justification: A solution is a homogeneous mixture formed when a solute (salt) dissolves in a solvent (water). The salt - water mixture has a uniform composition throughout.

For the second question, evidence that saltwater is a homogeneous mixture includes: it has a uniform appearance (no visible separation of salt and water), and properties such as density and taste are consistent throughout the mixture.

Answer:

1. Salt: Solute. Justification: Dissolves in water, present in smaller amount.

Water: Solvent. Justification: Dissolves salt, present in larger amount.
Salt water: Solution. Justification: Homogeneous mixture of salt and water.

1. Evidence: Uniform appearance, consistent properties throughout.
