Distinguished Boiling Test
One test that can differentiate between a solution and a pure liquid is a boiling point test. A pure liquid will have a specific and consistent boiling point, while a solution will exhibit a boiling point elevation due to the presence of solute particles. By measuring the boiling points, you can determine if the substance is a solution or a pure liquid.
You will have to do an experiment to find this out. You can get the proper tools and see what compounds are in both solutions.
Iodine solution!
A liquid is a solution if the mixture has two different substances in it. for Example water is not a solution because it is only H2O, but if you mix water with a drink concentrate that is a solution because the mixture consists of two things
test the pureity of water
One way to test if a liquid is pure is through distillation, where the liquid is boiled and then condensed back into a liquid. If impurities are present, they may have different boiling points and will not evaporate and condense with the original liquid. Another method is to use a refractometer to measure the liquid's refractive index, which can indicate purity based on known values for pure substances.
Add chalk (Calcium carbonate) if it is an acid the chalk will 'fizz' as it reacts and it will give off carbon dioxide gas. Or just use a universal indicator solution or test with litmus paper.
A pH testing liquid called universal indicator solution is commonly used to test the pH scale. It changes color depending on whether the substance is acidic, neutral, or basic.
The Tyndall test confirms the presence of colloids in a solution by detecting the scattering of light. It is a qualitative test used to differentiate between solutions containing colloids and solutions containing only dissolved particles.
The Tollens test involves the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids by silver ions in a basic solution. This forms a silver mirror on the inside of the test tube. Ketones do not react with Tollens reagent and do not produce a silver mirror. This test is used to differentiate between aldehydes and ketones based on their reactivity with Tollens reagent.
One way to differentiate between a solution and a colloid is through the Tyndall effect. In a solution, light passes through without scattering, while in a colloid, light scatters because the particles are large enough to reflect light. This can be observed by shining a light through the mixture - if the light beam is visible, it is a colloid, whereas if the beam is not visible, it is a solution.
The liquid collected in a test tube is typically referred to as the "sample" or "solution." It can contain various substances or molecules depending on the experiment or analysis being conducted.
