Answer to Problem 5RQ
Another name for a homogeneous mixture is “solution”.
Explanation of Solution
The homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture is the combination of components. A uniform phase of a mixture is termed as homogeneous mixture. In the homogeneous mixture only similar type of substance are present in a single phase, and they cannot be separate easily. For example − mixture of salt and water, water and alcohol etc.
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.
