Your job is to provide an answer to the questions of this citizen.Answer the following:
a) According to what was mentioned before, classify the substance contained in the beaker as a pure substance/homogeneous mixture/heterogeneous mixture/element/compound. Justifyyour answers with theoretical concepts covered during this learning unit.

The liquid mentioned before its homogenous because it has a uniform composition even though it’s mixed; it is a compoundbecause it has to elements mixed like water.

b) Which separation processes will be effective to separate the liquid? Justify your answers with theoretical concepts covered during this learning unit.Distillation to separate the liquids by boiling them and filtrating it by separating the solids form the liquid.
