Which one of the following is NOT a heterogeneous mixture?
Options
- ASulphur in carbon disulphide
- BMixture of sugar and salt crystals
- CSandy water
- DSulphur in water
Correct answer
A. Sulphur in carbon disulphide
Step-by-step solution
Sulphur is a non-polar solid and carbon disulphide ( CS₂ ) is a non-polar solvent. According to the principle of like dissolves like, sulphur dissolves completely in carbon disulphide to form a true solution. A true solution is a homogeneous mixture, not a heterogeneous mixture. Mixture of sugar and salt crystals, sandy water, and sulphur in water do not form true solutions and are heterogeneous mixtures. Answer: Sulphur in carbon disulphide
