Donavan Wallace · Answer 1

Answer : C) separate the parts by their properties.

Explanation:

Mixture is a substance which has two or more components which do not combine chemically and do not have any fixed ratio in which they are present. Trail is a mixture of various substances which do not react chemically and thus the constituents retain their chemical properties. The substances can be separated by using physical properties.

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass. It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. The elements lose their individual chemical properties. The elements can not be separated using physical means.

Yusuf Sutton · Answer 2

Answer: Option 'd' and 'c' are correct.

Explanation:

As we know that

Mixture is the composition of two or more different substances which are combined physically.

In mixture, the identities of substances are retained and we can identify the parts that make up the mixture.

And trail mix is composed of nuts, seeds, raisins etc. and it is heterogeneous mixture.

So, we can easily identify and separate the part by their properties too.

Hence, Option 'd' and 'c' are correct.
