Want this question answered?
it has a definite composition
this describes a chemical property
a pure substance. either a compound or an element. Also, a solution, which is a homogeneous mixture, not a pure substance.
a pure substance is a substance that entails unchanging/unvarying molecular structure
If ice is made of pure water, then it is a pure substance with a definite composition, H2O, and not a mixture.
A pure substance has a fixed and uniform composition.
A compound has a fixed composition and is always a homogeneous pure substance.
You think probable to a pure stoichiometric compound.
it is called a fixed composition
it has a definite composition
A pure substance is any substance with a fixed chemical composition, meaning either a single element or a compound (chemically-bound elements in a fixed ratio).
The difference between a homogeneous mixture and a pure substance is that a pure substance has a fixed composition and cannot be separated because it is chemically bonded and a homogeneous mixture can be separated.
Table salt [sodium chloride], sugar [sucrose], water [H2O], Oxygen[O2] A pure substance is a substance that has a fixed composition and differs from a mixture in that every sample of a given of a pure substance has exactly the same characteristic properties and compositions.
This looks like a pretty basic question, although asked out of context, it is tricky. The same composition is called "definite" composition. The more technical term should make us think of the classification of matter. Pure substances have definite composions as opposed to mixtures that have variable composition. Your answer is pure substances. Pure substances can be either compounds, made of 2 or more kinds of atoms or elements make of 1 kind of atom.
A physical property is a characteristic of a pure substance. Water is an example of a pure substance.
Density can tell you how "pure" a substance is. Since each substance has a specific density in its "pure" state, having no other substances in its composition, by measuring it density you can tell how pure the mineral or substance is, 99.9% pure gold.
A pure substance is classified by having a definite and constant composition. The substance can be either an element or a compound, but what makes the substance pure, is that it does not vary.
