A scientist had two substances. One was a yellow liquid and the other was a colorless liquid. The scientist added a few drops of the yellow liquid to the colorless liquid. A red solid formed. What most likely happened when the scientist mixed the two liquids?


A. The two substances stayed the same and no new substances were formed.

B. A new substance with properties identical to the colorless liquid was formed.

C. A new substance with properties identical to the yellow liquid was formed.

D. A new substance with properties different from either of the liquids was formed.

Answer 1

D. A new substance with properties different from either of the liquids was formed.

The correct option that is the answer for the question is option d

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question two liquids of different colours are mixed together. One of them has yellow colour, while the other is colourless on mixing we see that the new substance that is formed is neither yellow nor colourless.

And the mixture that is formed is a substance which is not liquid and solid of red colour and we can conclude, that the mixture form does not retain any property of the elements from which it is made. Hence we can say a new substance with different properties are formed.

Answer 2

D. A new substance with properties different from either of the liquids was formed.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple chemical reaction. When chemical reactions occur, bonds are simply broken and rearranged and new ones formed. Formation of new compounds can be seen and clearly observed. These compounds are completely different in properties from the atoms and compounds that combines to form them.

If they still share the same property in anyway, then, there was only a physical combination of the compounds and this implies the formation of a mixture
