Question

Identify the following as a substance or mixture and explaining your choice with evidence or reasoning 3 sentences

Mayonnaise

Answer 1

Mayonnaise is a mixture. It is an emulsion of oil, egg yolks, vinegar or lemon juice, and other seasonings, which means it consists of different components that retain their individual properties. When mixed together, these ingredients create a stable, creamy texture, but they do not chemically combine to form a single substance, as the distinct phases can be identified through techniques such as centrifugation.
