उत्तर
Solution of salt in water is a mixture and not compound because salt solution is made up of salt and water, mixed physically.
- The constituents of salt solution might be present in varying ratios.
- Salt solution does not have fixed properties. Its properties depend on the nature of its components and the ratios in which they are mixed.
- The constituents of salt solution can be separated easily by physical methods, i.e., distillation.
