How are solutions different from compounds?

Answer 1

• A compound is 2 or more elements that are chemically bound to form a new form of material. Water for example is a compound that is made up from the elements oxygen and hydrogen. A solution on the other hand is a material that has had another material dissolved in it. for example salt in water, they do not actually combine to form a new material they just coexist and can be separated using physical means.

Answer 2

a compound is 2 elements like CO2 or H20 while a solution is normally liquid with more than one compound... like salt water H2O + NACL. the difference between a solution and a mixture is which is finely mixed

Solution- finely mixed homogeneous mixture (same composition throughout)

Mixture- a heterogeneous mixture with irregular composition... kinda like gravel or rocky road ice cream

Answer 3

a solution is a mixture of components mixed in any ratio and not mixed chemically but in a compound components are mixed in fixed ratio and they are mixed chemically.

solution's components can be separated by physical means but not the compound'components can be separated by a chemical process.

example of a solution- sugar solution

example of a compound- water

Answer 4

Solutions can be separated by physical means like boiling, chromatography, filtering, etc., while compounds can only be broken down into smaller compounds or elements by chemcial means like electrolysis or combustion. Once a solution is separated, it is generally "easy" to turn it back into a solution (just mix it back up). A compound, once separated into elements, requires another chemical reaction to turn it back into the initial compound.

Answer 5

I think a solution is a heterogeneous mixture which is a mixture with difference amounts of eachthing A homogeneous mixture is a mixture with the same amount of each measure

Answer 6

The question is not correct; a compound can be as a solution.

Ex.: table salt (NaCl) is a compound; but this compound can be in solution forming brines of different concentrations.

Answer 7

A compound does not have to be dissolved in a solvent. A solution contains a solvent which a compound may be dissolved in.

Answer 8

A compound contain elements chemically bonded.
A mixture contain two or more compounds; they can be separated by physical procedures.
A solution is a mixture.
