Taylor was thirsty and decided to mix up a pitcher of lemonade. She put lemon juice, water, and sugar into a pitcher and stirred it to create this wonderful new drink. How could Taylor decide if she just created a mixture or a compound?

• it must be a compound because it all looks the same

• if it were a compound, there would have been an explosion

• it must be a mixture as she can separate all of the individual ingredients

• it must be a compound as she can separate all of the individual ingredients
