The answer is 3. a homogeneous mixture. Because the solution has two substances so it is not compound. And the KCl can dissolve completely, so it is homogeneous.

Answer:

3. a homogeneous mixture

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, as it is stated that the two grams of potassium chloride are completely dissolved into the sample of water, no difference is noticed between the water and the potassium chloride. In addition, since water and potassium chloride are different chemical compounds, the obvious answer is: 3. a homogeneous mixture due to the aforesaid reasons.

Best regards.
