Rhonda tells Jack that a solution is a type of mixture. Jack disagrees and responds that he does not think that a solution is a mixture.

Which explanation below explains who is correct?

A. Rhonda is correct because a solution is a type of mixture. It is a mixture because the substances are mixed together, and each substance loses its primary physical properties. The substances can each be easily seen.

B. Jack is correct because a solution is not a type of mixture. It is not a mixture because one of the substances settles at the bottom of the solution. Each substance keeps it primary physical properties.

C. Rhonda is correct because the substances keep their primary physical properties, but one dissolved into the other. Each substance is not easily seen.

D. Jack is correct because a solution is not a type of mixture because the substances stay mixed together and cannot be separated. Each substance loses its its primary physical properties.

Jack is correct because a solution is not a type of mixture because the substances stay mixed together and cannot be separated. Each substance loses its primary physical properties.

Option: (D)

Explanation:

A mixture is composed of 'two or more different substances', physically combined and it is in the form of a solution, suspension or a colloid. A mixture may be homogeneous (salt and water) or heterogeneous (sand and water). A homogeneous mixture of two or more compounds is termed as solution. It has a solute and a solvent. The 'solute' is the substance dissolved in the solvent. Both lose their primary physical properties.
