Question

Two grams of sodium chloride (table salt) were completely dissolved in a glass of water. How would you classify the resulting material?

Group of answer choices

As a mixture.

As a salt compound

As a pure substance

As an element

Answer 1

This is a mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

While you can no longer see the salt when it's dissolved, it's still there! It's just in tiny, tiny, invisible to the eye molecules. It's now a mixture of H20 molecules and NaCl molecules in a solution :)

The water doesn't bond to the salt, so it's not a compound.

It's not just one element, it's a mixture of many!

It's not a pure substance since it's NaCl AND H2O.
