What is the definition of a definite chemical composition?

Definite chemical composition is when a mineral is made of the same material throughout. Basically when a mineral is only made of one material all the way through, not part iron in one part and then gold in the rest.


Is water a chemcial?

It would depend on your definition of a chemical. A chemical is: "a substance produced by or used in a chemical process." And, water is a chemical because it is be used in chemical reactions such as neutralization, redox, etc. I believe what you're asking though is if water is a chemical substance: "a material with a definite chemical composition." Water is also a chemical composition because of its electron configuration in its valence shell which defines its chemical properties.


How do scientists identify the chemical properties of a material?

Scientists use various analytical techniques such as spectroscopy, chromatography, and mass spectrometry to identify the chemical properties of a material. These techniques help in determining the molecular structure, composition, and behavior of the material at a molecular level. By comparing the results with known standards, scientists can identify and characterize the chemical properties of the material.


Is carbon dioxide raw material?

No, it is a pure substance. A "pure substance" does not mean an element. Rather, it means that the given substance has definite physical and chemical properties. "Pure substances" can be either "Elements" or "Compounds" because all substances belonging to these categories have definite physical and chemical properties.A mixture does not have definite physical and chemical properties, and combine in varying proportions.

What is the definition of Chemerical?

Chemical substances (also sometimes referred to as a pure substances) are often defined as any material with a definite chemical composition in most introductory general chemistry textbooks. According to this definition a chemical substance can either be a pure chemical element or a pure chemical compound. However, there are exceptions to this definition, a pure substance can also be defined as a form of that has both definite composition and distinct properties and the chemical substance index published by CAS also includes several alloys of uncertain composition.


What do Chemical composition describes?

"chemical composition" is talking about the individual chemicals that make up a substance. The chemicals it is composed of. eg, wood is mainly carbon, with some water (which is hydrogen and oxygen) and various minerals.


What is the different between the physical and chemical properties of a substance?

A physical property can be observed without changing the material's composition. A chemical property can only be observed when a chemical change takes place.
