Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A homogeneous mixture is a combination of two or more substances that have a uniform composition and are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. In this case, the liquid containing 60% sugar and 40% water is a homogeneous mixture. It is not a compound as it is a mixture of two substances and not a single substance. A solute is a substance that is being dissolved in a solvent, but in this case, both the sugar and water are present in the mixture. It is also not a heterogeneous mixture as the composition is uniform throughout.
