Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : A solution of table salt in a glass of water is homogeneous.
Reason (R) : A solution having different composition throughout is homogeneous.
Select the correct answer from the code given below :
Code :
Explanation
Assertion (A) is correct because a solution of table salt in water is a homogeneous mixture. In such mixtures, the components are distributed uniformly at a molecular level, meaning any sample taken from the solution will have the same composition and properties. Reason (R) is incorrect because the definition of a homogeneous mixture is one that has a uniform composition throughout. A mixture that has a different or non-uniform composition in different parts is known as a heterogeneous mixture (such as a mixture of oil and water or sand and water). Since (A) is true and (R) is false, the correct option is A.
