Question 4 • Chemistry

Which is a characteristic of mixtures?

Answer
A
They are chemically bonded together.
B
They have fixed ratios between their components.
C
They can be separated by physical processes.
D
They can be classified as pure substances.

Explanation

Mixtures contain substances that are combined without being chemically bonded, so they can usually be separated by physical processes such as filtering or distillation. Their component proportions can vary, unlike the fixed ratios found in compounds. Therefore, “They can be separated by physical processes” is correct.
