Sugar-water is a mixture or a compound. Define mixtures and compounds, and explain how, without tasting it, Nicole can test to make sure she is using the sugar-water in the glaze.

• Sugar-water is a mixture. A mixture contains two or more substances keep their own properties. A compound has two or more atoms that are chemically bonded together. Nicole can use evaporation to test that she is using sugar water. Because it is a mixture, it can be separated. She can evaporate the water from the sugar-water, so only the sugar remains. If she evaporates the plain water, there will be nothing left.

• Sugar-water is a compound. Compounds are combinations of substances that can be separated physically, while mixtures are substances formed by chemical bonds. Nicole can test the sugar-water by freezing it.

• Sugar-water is a mixture. Mixtures are substances formed by chemical bonds, while compounds are combinations of substances that can be separated physically. Nicole can test the sugar-water by boiling it and checking for a color change.

• Sugar-water is a compound. Compounds are combinations of substances that can be separated by filtration, while mixtures are substances formed by chemical bonds. Nicole can test the sugar-water by filtering it.
