When a single salt crystal is added to a cool liquid, large crystals form. Which statement about the original cool liquid is correct?

A) The liquid is a heterogeneous mixture because the crystals can be easily separated from the liquid

B) The liquid is a pure substance because it was made up of a single compound

C) The liquid is a pure substance because it was uniform before the crystal was added

D) The liquid is a homogenous mixture because the substance that formed the large crystals was uniformly dissolved

The liquid is a homogeneous mixture because the substance that formed the large crystals was uniformly dissolved.

A solution is composed of a solute and a solvent. A solution is a typical example of a homogeneous mixture.

We define a solution as any combination of solute and solvent. A solution can be regarded as a homogeneous mixture since the solute is uniformly distributed throughout the solution. The solute and solvent constitutes one phase.

When a salt crystal is added to the solution, crystallization is induced and large crystals of solute form.

A salt crystal is a cubic form of sodium chloride that is closely bounded together by the reaction of sodium and chlorine ions during electrovalent bonding.

Taking a look at a heterogeneous mixture;

It refers to the mixtures that are not thoroughly mixed and uniform in composition.

On the other hand, homogeneous mixtures are formed when a substance i.e. solute (here, it is the salt crystal) is being added to a cool liquid(solvent) is thoroughly mixed.

From the given information, we are being told that when this single salt crystal is added to the cool liquid, large crystals are formed.

This implies that the formation of large crystals is brought about by the action of crystaliization rendering the liquid to be a homogeneous mixture.

We can therefore conclude that the correct statement about the original cool liquid is in Option D.
