Concept explainers
Mixtures of gases are always true solutions. True or false? Explain why.
Interpretation:
Whether the statement “Mixture of gases are always true solutions” is true or is to be stated. The explanation for the correct response is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Solution is the homogeneous mixture of the compounds. The term homogeneous means that the concentration of the components of a mixture is consistent thoroughly.
Some of the examples of solutions are mixture of sugar and water, salt and water.
Answer to Problem 1E
The statement “Mixture of gases are always true solutions” is true. This is property of the gases that they always mix into each other to form a homogeneous mixture.
Explanation of Solution
“Mixture of gases are always true solutions”, this statement is true. Gaseous particle do not have any kind of forces of attraction among each other. Gases have the property of occupying the whole space where they are placed. Air is an excellent example of it. It is mixture of many gases yet it is homogeneous mixture.
The statement “Mixture of gases are always true solutions” is true solution. The explanation for the correct response has been stated above.
