Today the laws of definite proportions and multiple proportions, applied to chemical compounds, are considered as not genarally valid.
Many mixtures (not all !) have a fixed composition depending on the specific application and recipe.
False. The composition of a compound is fixed, meaning it always contains the same elements in the same proportions. In contrast, the composition of a mixture can vary, as it is a physical combination of substances that can be in different proportions.
The composition of an element is fixed because each element is made up of a unique type of atom with a specific number of protons in its nucleus. This number of protons determines the element's identity, and any change in the number of protons would result in a different element. Therefore, the composition of an element cannot be altered without changing its identity.
Yes, a mixture does not obey the law of definite composition. Mixtures can have varying proportions of different substances, whereas compounds, which obey the law of definite composition, have a fixed ratio of elements.
Yes
Yes, the composition of a compound is fixed and consistent, always containing the same ratio of elements. This is a fundamental characteristic of compounds and is defined by their chemical formula.
A fixed composition is not a characteristic of a mixture. The composition of a mixture can vary, unlike the composition of a compound that forms a chemical reaction.
A compound has a fixed composition and is always a homogeneous pure substance.
If the composition of a material is fixed, it means that the material is made up of a set combination of elements in specific proportions. This fixed composition gives the material its unique properties and characteristics, which remain consistent as long as the composition is maintained.
A property of a pure substance is fixed composition. This means that the substance is made up of only one type of molecule or atom throughout, with no variation in its chemical composition.
Mixtures don't necessarily have fixed composition
No, the composition is variable - excepting of course specific recipes.

No. a mineral is a compound of fixed chemical composition and of fixed crystal structure.

False. The composition of a compound is fixed, meaning it always contains the same elements in the same proportions. In contrast, the composition of a mixture can vary, as it is a physical combination of substances that can be in different proportions.
This information is correct but not totally; frequently some differences in composition exist.
