Is a fish tank with water inside a mechanical mixture?

No, a fish tank with water inside is not a mechanical mixture. It is a homogeneous mixture because the water and any additives are evenly distributed throughout the tank.


Is water with 2 ice cubes in it a solution or a mechanical mixture?

it is a solute and a solvent because it has different types of particles in it


Is silicon and water a mechanical mixture?

No, silicon and water do not form a mechanical mixture. A mechanical mixture is a physical combination of substances in which the individual components retain their original properties and can be separated by physical means. In the case of silicon and water, they do not mix together to form a homogeneous mixture and can be easily separated by filtration or settling.


Is water a mechanical mixture or solution?

Water is a compound, where two hydrogen atoms are covalently bonded to one oxygen atom. It is not classified as a mechanical mixture or a solution, but rather a pure substance with a definite composition.


Can a mechanical mixture have both solids and liquids in it?

Mechanical mixture: When two or more different materials are mixed together but are visibly not wholly one, like sand and stones on a beach, or milk and cereal in a bowl, a mechanical mixture is created. Another name is "Heterogeneous mixture". These mixtures are without definite composition, and have several component parts that can mechanically separated from the rest.So therefore, yes. a heterogeneous mixture is also called a mechanical mixture.Wow.I searched this question up for a friend for our science test.Glad I could answer :D
