3. susan makes the following entry in her notebook: "on friday we were given a blue liquid in a shallow container. we placed it on the windowsill over the weekend. on monday morning there was no liquid left, but the dish had some solid blue stuff in it." a. was the blue liquid in the dish a heterogeneous mixture, a solution, or a pure substance? explain your choice.

  B. Solution

Explanation:  According to the question statement, Susan wrote in her notebook that it was a blue liquid. Therefore, from a chemistry point of view, it was a solution and not a heterogeneous mixture. Then, the solvent was evaporated after leaving the solution for 72 hours at the windowsill. The solute (blue color most likely) however was not able to evaporate with solvent and left behind.

Example: if you leave the KMnO4+water solution for a few days, water will evaporate thus leaving behind purple crystals of KMnO4.

the old alchemists made significant contributions to science even though there starting premises were off a bit. their conclusions after failure would steer them into better directions for investigation. science is no more than close observation and the initial mistakes result in rethinking and retrying experiments.
