If a solution appears uniform but has three components, what is it called based on the number of components?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Ternary solution
Uniformity tells us that the mixture may be a solution, while the number of components gives a separate classification. A solution containing three components is called ternary. Binary means two components, a single-component substance is not a mixture, and a suspension is classified by dispersed particles rather than simply by having three components.
