Which of the following is not a mixture?
Group of answer choices
7-UP
sugar
air
seawater

Sugar

Explanation:

Mixtures are substances that made of two or more elements or other substances that are joined together by physical methods and when mixed can be also be separated by physical method into the original individual elements.

Air is a mixture of gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and rare gases. When an amount of air is collected, its constituents can be collected separately.

Likewise 7 up and sea water

Sugar is a compound made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, when sugar is decomposed, it's original constituents are not recovered but sugar is decomposed into carbon dioxide and water

every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
