Best Answer

A pure substance is something like just water (H2O). A homogeneous mixture is a solution with multiple compounds. These mostly contain water, but not always. An example of a homogeneous mixture is H2O+NaCl or NaCl (aq).

A pure substance is an element or a compound. An element is composed of the same kinds of atoms, and compounds are composed of atoms of different elements chemically bonded, having a definite composition. A mixture is composed of substances that are not chemically bonded and does not have a definite composition.

How can you determine the melting point of a substance based in its heating curve?

Heating curves (temp vs time) show the transition of a solid to a liquid to a gas. The solid begins to absorb heat, which is represented by a gradual increase in your curve starting from the origin. Eventually, the solid will reach the melting point, at which the temperature will cease to increase until it has fully transitioned to a liquid phase. Therefore, the melting point is the y-value correspondind to the first horizontal portion of the heating curve.

Do the sugar and water form a pure substance or do they form a mixture?

Well a mixture is like a salad, you can pick out the tomatoes, the lettuce, the olives and what not. If you have sugar plus pure water you definitely can't take out the sugar out of the water, unless you have some super scientifical machine (: . I'm not quite sure what a pure substance is but I would say that it is a pure substance because it can't be a mixture.----------------------------------Sugar water is an example of a solution, which is classified as a homogeneous mixture (vs. mechanical mixture like salad). Water and sugar are both pure substances and when they are combined through physical means (dissolution is a physical process) they make a mixture. Sugar and water can be easily separated through evaporation.Water plus sugar=carbon dioxide


Is Pure water a homogeneous or heterogeneous?

Heterogeneous vs. homogeneous refers to solutions. Pure water is a compound which is bound together chemically. Solutions are combined physically. So technically it is neither.


What is a suspension vs liquid?

A suspension can be separated and does not mix together, but emulsion does mix together. A suspension can be separated but an emulsion cannot be separated.Emulsion: The mixture of substance is in one phase , so they can not be separated mechanically. Eg: ShampooSuspension: The mixture of suspension is not in one phase , so they can be separated mechanically.eg: Mixture of oil& water.
