Question 25 • Physical Science

Which property describes a mixture?

Answer
A
It cannot be described by a chemical symbol or formula.
B
It cannot be separated by physical methods.
C
It has a single chemical composition.
D
It cannot have more than one state of matter.

Explanation

A mixture contains two or more substances physically combined, so it does not have one fixed chemical composition or a single chemical formula. Its components can often be separated by physical methods, such as filtering or evaporation, so B is false. A mixture may also contain substances in different states of matter, so D is false.
