Question

Sarah creates a model of two mixtures. She fills two beakers with water and adds sugar to Beaker X and sand to Beaker Y. Her model is shown below.



Which statement correctly compares Beaker X and Beaker Y after stirring?

a
Beaker X and Beaker Y are both homogenous mixtures.
b
Beaker X and Beaker Y are both heterogenous mixtures
c
Beaker X is a homogeneous mixture, and Beaker Y is a heterogenous mixture.
d
Beaker X is a heterogeneous mixture, and Beaker Y is a homogenous mixture.

Answer 1

c

Beaker X (sugar in water) forms a homogeneous mixture (sugar dissolves evenly — a solution).
Beaker Y (sand in water) is heterogeneous (sand does not dissolve and the particles make the mixture non‑uniform).
