What is the most essential condition for considering a mixture as a true solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Components are uniformly mixed
A true solution is a homogeneous mixture, so its composition is uniform throughout and a small sample from one part has the same composition as a sample from another part. Colour or visual attractiveness is irrelevant. Separate layers indicate heterogeneity, and settling is associated with larger suspended particles rather than true-solution particles. Hence uniform mixing is essential.
