No, it is typically a solution; the salt will dissolve in the water. Any salt beyond saturation will not have anything to do with the water and sit independently on the bottom. A hydrated salt is a single chemical species, so it cannot be considered a mixture either.

A homogeneous mixture exists when the two phases (in this case H2O and a salt, presumably NaCl) cannot be mechanically separated. In other words, they are dispensed relatively evenly, and you can't separate them with your fingers or tweezers or by filtering. A heterogeneous mixture is one where the two phases are readily identifiable and can be separated by mechanical means such as filtering.

Is salt water a mixture or a solution or both?

Salt water is both a mixture and a solution. It is a mixture because it is composed of two or more substances (salt and water) that are physically combined. It is a solution because the salt completely dissolves in the water, forming a homogeneous mixture at the molecular level.

Can a mixture of salt and water be a solution?

Yes, a mixture of salt and water can form a solution. When salt is dissolved in water, the salt particles separate and disperse evenly throughout the water, creating a homogenous mixture. This mixture is called a saltwater solution.

Is salt and water a mixture soulution or both?

Salt dissolved in water forms a solution. A solution is a homogeneous mixture where the solute (salt) is evenly distributed in the solvent (water) at a molecular level. Each component retains its properties and can be separated through physical means.
