    Q 1.36

    Question

    Classify each substance as a pure substance or a mixture. If it is a pure substance, classify it as an element or a compound. If it is a mixture, classify it as homogeneous or heterogeneous.

    a. Plain yogurt b. Chicken noodle soup c. Titanium d. Table salt

    Solution

    What we know:

    A pure substance is made up of only one type of particle.

    A heterogeneous mixture is one in which the composition varies from one region of the mixture to another.

    A homogeneous mixture is one with the same composition throughout.

    Solution:

    a. mixture, homogeneous

    b. mixture, heterogeneous

    c. pure substance, element

    d. pure substance, compound
