Question 9

Chocolate is made from cocoa solids, cocoa butter, sugar and milk.

A quality-control test finds that two batches of the same chocolate both soften gradually between 30 ∘C30\,^\circ\mathrm{C}30∘C and 34 ∘C34\,^\circ\mathrm{C}34∘C.

Which conclusion about the two batches is correct?

[1]
A

Each batch is a pure substance, because both batches soften over exactly the same temperature range.

B

Each batch is a formulation, and the matching ranges indicate that the components were mixed in the same proportions.

C

Each batch is a compound, because its components are bonded together in a fixed ratio.

D

Each batch is impure, because an unwanted substance has been added to both batches by mistake.
