What is most likely to have a homogeneous mixture?
A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture when two or more substances are mixed together but aren't chemically combined/joined
Is salt a mixture a compound or a element?
Common salt, sodium chloride, is a compound of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) A mixture is just two things existing together but not combining chemically, for example, salt and sand mixed together. They can be separated without being chemically changed. An element is a single atom not combined with anything else. For example, sodium and chlorine are both elements. Combined chemically, the form a compound.
How is a homogeneous mixture different from a homogeneous compound?
In a compound the component elements are chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio. In a homogeneous mixture the components are not chemically bonded together and the ratio can vary.In a compound the component elements are chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio.In a homogeneous mixture the components are not chemically bonded together and the ratio can be varied.
Which of these is a example of a compound rasin bread aspirin or sand?
A compound word is a word made up of two or more words joined together which has a meaning of its own.The compound noun in the group is raisin bread.
How do you chemically clean the sand in a pool sand filter?
Here's a quick tip on chemically cleaning or killing the algae living in the sand in a sand filter. The next time you shock your swimming pool, poor the shock or bleach in the skimmer. This will provide a very high level of chlorine in the filter for a very short period of time. Long enough to kill the stubborn algae living in the filter but not long enough to hurt your plumbing.

Indentify the elements compounds or mixtures?
Elements consist of only one kind of atom (i.e. carbon or Phosphorus). Compounds are made of two or more different elements that are chemically bound together (i.e. carbon + oxygen = carbon dioxide, a compound). Mixtures are similar to compounds, but they are not chemically bound together and can be physically separated or filtered (i.e. sand and water).
What is a mixture containing an insoluble solute called?
By definition a solute can not be insoluble. Ergo, there are no mixtures containing an insoluble solute.
Is Beach sand a mixture or a compound?
Sand and vinegar is a mixture. The two do not chemically bond, they are merely stirred together.

Is sand and salt a mixture?
Yes. It is not chemically bonded.
Is sand a pure element pure compound or mixture?
sand is a mixture because its all mixeed up with stuff!

Is sand a sedimentary rock or is lots of sand joined together a sedimentary rock?
Sand is composed of small loose particles of eroded rock of any type, but commonly it is particles of quartz from igneous or metamorphic rock. Each sand grain is actually a rock unto itself. Only when the sand grains are cemented together through a process known as lithification, do the sand grains become part of a new sedimentary rock.
Why does clay need more lime to neutralize its acidity than sand?
Sand (silica grains) is chemically neutral.
Why a beaker containing sand and water is a mixture although sand itself is a pure substance?
Sand is not a pure substance - it can be a mixture of almost countless compounds. Sand and water is a mixture although, chemically speaking, the term mixture tends to be reserved for mixtures of components that are the same phase.
Are elements substances or mixtures?
A substance can be an element, a compound or a mixture. Sodium is a substance and also an element. It is a substance but consisting of only one type of atom. Sodium Chloride is a substance and also a compound. It is a substance but consists of two elements chemically combined and is thus also a compound. Sodium chloride and sand mixed together is a substance and also a mixture.
