Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding the Question

The question asks us to classify bottled seltzer water among several types of mixtures: heterogeneous mixture, solution, suspension, homogeneous mixture, colloid, or none of the above.

Step 2: Defining Key Terms

Heterogeneous mixture: A mixture where the components are not uniformly distributed.
Solution: A homogeneous mixture where one substance (solute) is dissolved in another (solvent).
Suspension: A heterogeneous mixture where particles are dispersed throughout but will settle over time.
Homogeneous mixture: A mixture where the components are uniformly distributed.
Colloid: A mixture where very small particles of one substance are evenly distributed throughout another without settling out.

Step 3: Classifying Bottled Seltzer Water

Bottled seltzer water is a mixture of water and dissolved carbon dioxide gas. The gas is uniformly distributed throughout the liquid, and it does not settle out over time.

Step 4: Determining the Correct Classification

Given the definitions, bottled seltzer water fits the description of a solution because it is a homogeneous mixture where the gas (solute) is dissolved in water (solvent).
