Which of the following is a characteristic of mixtures? A. Mixtures can only be in solid and liquid form. B. Substances that are mixed together retain their properties. C. You can always see the different parts of a mixture. D. You can only see the different parts of a mixture when it is in liquid form.

The correct choice is B.  

Mixtures retain their properties because science has proven it. Take a bag of trail mix for example. Those raisins and marshmallows and m&m’s can each be separated. When you take them out, they keep their same texture.  

Is not correct because mixtures can be solids (Trail mix is one example)  

Correct  

Is not correct because sometimes it cannot be seen (Lemonade powder and water is one example)  

Is not correct because trail mix is an example.

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
