Answer to Problem 5STP

Correct answer: Option D. Homogeneous mixture is also called solution.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct option: Homogeneous mixture has a uniform combination of the substance and it cannot be separated by the physical method. So, solution is another name for a homogeneous mixture because solutions are made by dissolving a solute into a solvent; they cannot be separated by the physical method. Hence, the correct answer is option D.

Conclusion

Reasons for incorrect options:

Option A: The mixture present with a single phase is known as homogeneous and having two or more than two phases is heterogeneous mixture. So, this is an incorrect option.

Option B: A sample of matter with both definite & constant composition and also distinct chemical properties called a pure substance. So, this is an incorrect option.

Option C: The material produced by chemically bonding two or more than two chemical elements, called compound.So, this is an incorrect option.
