Which statement best describes a substance consisting of food, dye dissolved in the water

1 answer

A substance consisting of food, dye, and water can best be described as a solution. In this case, the dye is the solute that is dissolved in the solvent, which is water. If the food is made up of solid particles that mix with the solution (like food coloring in water), it may form a colloidal solution or suspension rather than a true solution, depending on the nature of the food components. Overall, the presence of dye suggests the mixture can reflect properties of both a solution and possibly a colloidal mixture if the food contains undissolved particles.
