a child fills a bucket with salt water and sand. how are the contents of the bucket classified?

a solution

a compound

a homogeneous mixture

a heterogeneous mixture

Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A solution is defined as a substance in which two or more substances are mixed together in such a way that their particles are evenly distributed throughout the mixture then it is known as a solution.

Components of a solution never combine chemically to each other. And, a solution is a clear in nature.

A solution in which solute particles are evenly distributed in a solvent is known as a homogeneous mixture.

For example, a mixture of salt in water is a homogeneous mixture.

On the other hand, a solution in which solute particles are unevenly distributed in a solvent is known as a heterogeneous solution.

For example, a bucket with salt water and sand is a heterogeneous solution.

Thus, we can conclude that a child fills a bucket with salt water and sand then contents of the bucket are classified as a heterogeneous mixture.
