You would see if a substance is a mixture or a pure substance because a mixture is where 2 or more things are mixed together. A pure substance is where it could be made up of different atoms, or it could be made up of one substance. Just like honey. A pure substance can't have different ingredients, only different atoms.

Is salt water a pure substance or a solution?

How is a pure substance different from a mechanical mixture or a solution?
A pure substance has only 1 type of particle and are rare, so they cost a lot of money.(eg. diamonds have only 1 type of particle) A solution is a mixture of 2 or more substances that is blended so well that it has one set one properties. Also, it is hard to separate the 2 substances from each other. (eg. water has 2 particles, but looks like 1) A mechanical mixture is a mixture of 2 or more substances and all the ingredients are visible to the naked eye. Also, it is easy to separate. (eg. chocolate chip cookies have many different types of particles, but you can see all the ingredients and are easy to separate the chocolate chips from the cookie.)
Is a pond a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?
A pond could be a heterogeneous mixture because more than one substance would be visible. Example: you could see fish, plants, algie, bugs, chemicals, and other substances in the water. But, a pond could also be a homogeneous mixture because the water could be totally clear, or the water could be so dirty that you would only see a green or brown murky substance.
How are pure substances and solutions alike?
no, solutions are not pure substances because all though they may look that way to the naked eye, the definition of a solution is a mixture where one substance has completely dissolved into the other. such as salt water. you can see only the water but you know the salt is there because when it dries out, the salt is left over.

Its a mixture of predominantly carbon bases substances. It would be interesting to see that one on the periodic table.
What is the difference between pure substance and mechanical mixture and solutions?
1. A pure substance can not be separated farther since it is composed of one type of atom. 2. I can't define mechanical mixture... Check your text book 3. A solution is one or more substances. I can: As she said a pure substance has only one type of particle. A solution is MORE then one substance. But in a solution u can't see the different parts. In a mechanical mixture, there is more then one particle like in a solution, but u can see the different particles.

Do the sugar and water form a pure substance or do they form a mixture?
Well a mixture is like a salad, you can pick out the tomatoes, the lettuce, the olives and what not. If you have sugar plus pure water you definitely can't take out the sugar out of the water, unless you have some super scientifical machine (: . I'm not quite sure what a pure substance is but I would say that it is a pure substance because it can't be a mixture.----------------------------------Sugar water is an example of a solution, which is classified as a homogeneous mixture (vs. mechanical mixture like salad). Water and sugar are both pure substances and when they are combined through physical means (dissolution is a physical process) they make a mixture. Sugar and water can be easily separated through evaporation.Water plus sugar=carbon dioxide

Is pop a mechanical mixture or a solution?
Pop is a mixture. The difference between a mixture and a pure substance is that a mixture is made up of 2 or more particles and a pure substance is made up of only one particle and one particle alone. Pop is a mixture of water, sugar, and carbon dioxide. The sugar dissolves into the water and carbon dioxide making it sweet. If you were to look at pop with the naked eye, you would only see the mixture and not the water, sugar and carbon dioxide standing on it's own. They're mixed together, therefore it is a mixture.
What mixture is not very well mixed?
