Question

select the correct answer. darryl finds a bottle of what looks like clear water, with dirt settled at the bottom. when he shakes the bottle, the water gets dirty. which term best describes the matter in the bottle? a. substance b. homogeneous mixture c. heterogeneous mixture d. element e. compound

Explanation:

A substance is a pure form of matter. An element is a pure substance made of only one type of atom. A compound is a pure substance made of two or more different types of atoms chemically combined. A homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition throughout. A heterogeneous mixture has a non - uniform composition and its components can be seen or separated easily. The water with dirt in the bottle has a non - uniform composition (dirt can be seen and settles at the bottom), so it is a heterogeneous mixture.

Answer:

C. heterogeneous mixture
