Question

To make salt water a heterogeneous mixture, you would have to A) add sand. B) add sugar. C) boil the water. D) remove the salt.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is A: Add Sand.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A mixture in which particles are not uniformly distributed throughout the solution then it is known as a heterogeneous mixture.

For example, sand in water is a heterogeneous mixture.

Whereas a mixture in which particles are evenly distributed throughout the solution then it is known as a homogeneous solution.

For example, salt in water is a homogeneous solution.

Thus, we can conclude that to make salt water a heterogeneous mixture, you would have to add sand.
