How can you tell if water is a compound and not a mixture?

Answer 1

Through the process of hydrolysis. Electricity separates water into two different gases, and we know they are different because hydrogen creates a "pop" when lit with a match and oxygen doesn't. It's called the "pop" test.

Answer 2

Water is a compound because it is made up of two different elements, hydrogen and oxygen, that are chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio (H2O). This means that the properties of water are different from its constituent elements, and it cannot be separated into its component parts by physical means. On the other hand, a mixture is a physical combination of two or more substances that can be separated without changing their chemical identities.

Answer 3

*i found this in my textbook...in a mixture, the individual elements or compounds keep their own properties and can be present in any proportion.

Answer 4

water is= H2O=COMPOUND

it is a compound because it is made up of element and element and is made by a CHEMICAL REACTION in a fixed ratio by mass.it is also endo-thermic meaning can absorb heat and so electrolysis also is done.in a chemical reaction we can balance the shells too.

Answer 5

It has 2 hydrogen atoms to 1 oxygen atom. Making it a compound. and it can be broken down into simpler substances

Answer 6

A compound is a molecule made of two or more different compounds. Therefore, if there are two elements listed in the name of a substance, it is a compound.

Answer 7

becase it is acombination of two elements
