Ketchup is a mixture, specifically a colloidal suspension, as it contains various ingredients like tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, and spices that are not completely dissolved. In a mixture, the components retain their individual properties and can be separated, whereas a solution has a solute that is fully dissolved in a solvent. The chunky texture and visible particles in ketchup further emphasize its classification as a mixture rather than a solution.
Ketchup is not considered a solution because it does not dissolve completely in another substance like water or alcohol. A solution involves a solute (what gets dissolved) and a solvent (the substance that dissolves the solute), and ketchup contains insoluble particles like tomato chunks and spices that do not dissolve.
suspension
you can't produce ketchup without even mixing an ingredients on it. So, i therefore suggest that a ketchup is a MIXTURE :)
Ketchup is a mechanical mixture because the tomatoes are pureed.
No, ketchup is not a solution because in a solution you can't see the particles but in ketchup if you look with a microscope you can see the particles. Making ketchup a colloid!
asolvent is.... a substance that dissolves another to form a solution: Water is a solvent for sugar.and a solute is...A substance dissolved in another substance, usually the component of a solution present in the lesser amount.adj. Being in solution; dissolvedand a solution is a.....a homogenous, molecular mixture of two or more substancesso the answer is a solution.....:]im smart!!!!-a person-
Yes because ketchup is a mixture in which the constituents don't appear separately.
Ketchup is not on the periodic table of elements therefore it is not an element. Ketchup does not have a single chemical name like H20 (water) or H2SO4 (Sulphuric Acid), therefore is not a compound. Ketchup consists mainly of a mixture of vinegar and tomatoes, which aren't elements or compounds themselves, therefore ketchup is a mixture of a lot of molecules.
No, it is a mixture.
Ketchup is a mixture.
I suppose that ketchup must be considered nonhomogeneous because frequently two phases are distinct.
Ketchup is a mixture of many ingredients both ionic and covalent
