Answer to Question #159598 in General Chemistry for Travis Banner

Question

When dissolved in water, flunitrazepam, also known as roofies or the "date rape" drug, is difficult to detect because it is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. Recently, a straw has been developed that changes color when placed in a drink spiked with flunitrazepam. A woman at a bar is worried that flunitrazepam was slipped into her water when she left it unattended. She places one of these new color-changing straws into the water and the straw immediately changes color.

Based on this result, is the woman's drink a pure substance or a mixture?

Answer 1

Mixture
