Consider a container filled with a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen gases. Which of the following statements accurately describes this system?
Consider a container filled with a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen gases. Which of the following statements accurately describes this system?
- It is a homogeneous mixture because gases mix uniformly at the molecular level. (correct)
- It is a heterogeneous mixture because gases always separate into distinct layers.
- It is an element because nitrogen and oxygen are basic building blocks of matter.
- It is a compound because nitrogen and oxygen are chemically bonded.

A student adds sugar to water and stirs until the sugar disappears. What is the best classification for the resulting system?
- A compound because sugar and water have chemically combined.
- An element because the sugar has broken down into its simplest form.
- A homogeneous mixture because the composition is uniform throughout. (correct)
- A heterogeneous mixture because sugar particles are still present but invisible.
