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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Yes... a mechanical mixture can have both solids and liquids... on my science sheet it asks that question. An example is... Muddy water. Dirt/Mud particles are solid particles and water particles are liquid particles.

Therefor, a mechanical mixture can have a solid and a liquid in it.

actualy, muddy water is a solution...not mechanical mixture -.- "

Answer 3

Yes, a mechanical mixture can contain both solids and liquids. For example, a mixture of sand and water would be considered a mechanical mixture as the two substances are physically mixed together but can be separated through physical means.

Answer 4

No. By definition, a mixture of any kind is not a pure substance. A mechanical mixture is one in which its components can be separated mechanically.

Answer 5

yes
