Can you tell if a mixture is a mechanical mixture by looking at it?

You can recognize a mechanical mixture because it consists of different substances that you can see and separate out of it. Examples of mechanical mixtures are cereal and milk in a bowl, soil that contains small pebbles, twigs, and bits of leaves.

∙ 13y agoA mixture is a substance that is made up of more than one type of molecule or atom, for example, a mixture of salt and water.
To tell the difference between a pure substance and a mixture, try following these steps:
- Does it contain more than one visible part? ex. sand or water and oil
- Does it leave a precipitate when evaporated if it is a liquid?
- Does it separate when dissolved in water?
If the answer is yes to 1 or more of the questions above, then the substance is a mixture. If you are still doubtful, try doing more tests like putting it into a centrifuge or using paper chromatography.
I hope this helped,
