Which statement explains the process of a chemical reaction?    A. Reactants react to produce new substances known as products.    B. Substances are mixed together, producing a homogeneous mixture.    C. Substances are mixed together, producing a heterogeneous mixture.    D. Products combine to produce new reactants.

anonymous · Answer

A: This one is very vague but relatively correct in that the reactants do end up reacting with each other through chemical reactions to produce products.

B: No. The answer is not wrong but it does not mean all chemical reactions will produce homogeneous solutions.

C: No. The same applies to heterogeneous solutions as I have explained in Choice B.

D: The terms are switched around so a definite no.
