What else can I help you with?
How do you separate mixtures and compounds?
You can break down a mixture by physical means
Is metal a compound element or mixture?
it depends. A lot of metals are elements like iron for example, these can be mixed to form alloys(compounds) steel for example is an aloy of carbon and iron. Metals exist as mixtures when they are found in their ores(mixed with other metals and minerals) and must be separated from their mixtures by smelting.
What is the difference between elements compounds and important mixtures?
Elements are atoms that consist of different protons. They are the simplest thing that defines an atom. The only thing that defines them is the number of protons, electrons and neutrons they have, as all protons, electrons and neutrons are identical. (I think) Compounds are elements joined chemically together. They must be in a set ratio (e.g. water must be 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom) They can only be separated chemically (e.g electrolysis). Mixtures are stuff that contain different substances or materials. They are not bonded together chemically. There is no set ratio, unlike compounds. They can be separated by physical methods. (for example, salt in water is a mixture. They can be separated by distillation.)
Classification of mixtures?
For mixtures: homogeneous or heterogeneous. For substances: - solid, liquid or gas - inorganic or organic - natural or artificial - colored or colorless - toxic or not Mixtures contain two or more compounds (substances).
Which must be a mixture of substances?
A mixture must consist of two or more different substances physically combined, where each retains its original properties. Mixtures can be separated by physical means such as filtration, distillation, or evaporation.
How is a compound similar to a homogeneous mixture How is it different?
Both compounds and homogeneous mixtures are made of more than one element and are homogeneous. However, compounds must be made from elements in an exact ratio and involve chemical bonds between the elements in them.
What types of mixtures can be used by gravity separation?
These mixtures must have large differences between densities.
Can you put any 2 elements together?
No, they must be compatible and be able to fuse together.
Why are all mixtures solutions?
All solutions are mixtures, because they involve mixing anyway. However, all mixtures are not solutions, because according to the definition of solution, the microstructure of the solute (Molecules) must be penetrated and undergo the process called solvolysis. As a result, solution must be homogeneous. Mixtures can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous
A compound that can be separated by electrolysis must be in which state of matter?
A compound that can be separated by electrolysis must be in the LIQUID state of matter.
Distinguish between a substance and a mixture and give two example of each?
A mixture, such as pizza or soft drink, is a material made up of two or more subtances that can be easily separated by physical means, but a substance has a fixed composition, it cannot be separated by physical means.
What requirement must be met for two compounds to be isomers?
Two compounds are isomers if they have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements or connectivity of atoms. This means that the atoms are bonded together in different ways, resulting in unique chemical and physical properties for each compound.
