The correct statement about the original cool liquid is:
**The liquid is a homogeneous mixture because the substance that formed the large crystals was uniformly dissolved.**
This statement is accurate because a homogeneous mixture has a consistent composition throughout, and in this case, the salt was uniformly dissolved in the liquid before the crystal was added.
**The liquid is a homogeneous mixture because the substance that formed the large crystals was uniformly dissolved.**
This statement is accurate because a homogeneous mixture has a consistent composition throughout, and in this case, the salt was uniformly dissolved in the liquid before the crystal was added.
