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

∙ 13y agoYes... 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 -.- "

∙ 12y agoNo. 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.

What do both solids and liquids have fixed?
I had that wordserch homework, i'v just found out the answer! Its: Volumes (with an s on the end :}) Enjoy! x
Name the property that liquids and solids share?
It is atoms
Solids and liquids both have fixed?
Solids and liquids both have fixed volumes... in that if they are put into a container, they will not expand to fill the container. Gases on the other hand, do the exact opposite - they expand to fill their containers, thus not having fixed volumes.
Which has more elasticity solid or liquid?
Both solids and liquids have mass. All matter in the universe has mass.
What properties is shared by solids liquids and gases?
Common properties of liquids and gases: (i) Both do not have a specific shape. (ii) Both are compressible. (iii) In both the states ,substances can flow. That is why they are called fluids.
When mixed with water does sewage create a solution or a mechanical mixture?
Both. Liquids become combined in a solution and solids form a mechanical mixture until after time breaks down everything.
What do both liquids and solids fix?
Solids and liquids both have fixed volumes.
How is gas different from solids and liquids?
Both liquids and Solids have definite volumes
Compare Solids and Liquids using the Venn Diagram?
solids molecules are closely compacted and liquids molecules are spread apart. Both solids and liquids molecules are always moving.
What solids and liquids have in common?
Both have a fixed volume.
What is the property liquids and solids share?
they both have a mass

Orange juice and milk are both solids?
no. they are both definitely liquids.
In what way are liquids and gases alike?
Liquids and Gases are both matter, and are not solids.
Gases can be squashed compressedbut solids cannot?
Flow. Gases and liquids can both modify their shapes.
What solvent dissolves both liquids and solids?
You think probable to water.
How is a gas diferent from a solid?
both liquids and solids have definite volumes
