d) Traditional Aboriginal paint made of red ocher and grease - mechanical mixture
To determine whether each substance is a mechanical mixture, a suspension, or a solution, we can use the following definitions:
1. Mechanical Mixture: A combination of substances where the individual components are visibly distinguishable and can be separated by physical means.
2. Suspension: A mixture in which solid particles are dispersed throughout a fluid but may settle over time. The particles are usually larger and can be separated by filtration or settling.
3. Solution: A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances, where the components are evenly distributed at a molecular level and cannot be visibly distinguished. The components are typically separated by chemical means.
Let's analyze each substance:
a) Green relish: In green relish, the solid particles (such as diced pickles) are evenly dispersed in the liquid (such as vinegar or brine). Since the solid particles can be visually distinguished and separated by physical means (like filtering), green relish is a suspension.
b) Soda pop in a glass: In soda pop, the dissolved gas and other solutes (such as flavorings and sweeteners) are uniformly distributed throughout the liquid. The components are mixed at a molecular level and cannot be visibly separated, making it a solution.
c) Bubble tea: Bubble tea usually contains ingredients such as tea, milk, sweeteners, and tapioca pearls. The tapioca pearls are solid particles that settle at the bottom of the drink, indicating that it is a suspension.
d) Traditional Aboriginal paint made of red ochre and grease: Traditional Aboriginal paint is typically made by mixing red ochre (a natural pigment) with grease. In this mixture, the red ochre particles are evenly dispersed throughout the grease but can be visually distinguished. Since the components can be physically separated by means such as settling or filtering, it is considered a mechanical mixture.
So, your answers are:
a) Green relish: Suspension
b) Soda pop in a glass: Solution
c) Bubble tea: Suspension
d) Traditional Aboriginal paint made of red ochre and grease: Mechanical mixture
