Vinegar is a solution, not a mechanical mixture. It is primarily composed of acetic acid and water, where acetic acid is dissolved in water, resulting in a homogeneous mixture. In a solution, the solute (acetic acid) is evenly distributed at the molecular level within the solvent (water), unlike a mechanical mixture, where the components retain their individual properties and can be physically separated.
No, a mixture of vinegar and salt cannot be separated by mechanical separation. Mechanical separation involves physically separating components based on their physical properties such as size, shape, or density. Since both vinegar and salt are soluble in water, they form a homogeneous mixture that cannot be separated by mechanical means. To separate vinegar and salt, you would need to use a different method such as distillation to evaporate the vinegar and leave the salt behind.
Oil and vinegar are a mixture. After a while they will separate.
Mustard is considered a mechanical mixture rather than a solution. This is because it contains various ingredients, such as mustard seeds, vinegar, and spices, that do not completely dissolve in each other, allowing distinct components to remain visible. In a mechanical mixture, the individual substances retain their properties, unlike in a solution where one substance completely dissolves into another.
a mechanical mixture has more then 2 substances while a solution does not
No, oil and vinegar are not a mechanical mixture. They form a heterogeneous mixture where the two liquids do not fully mix or dissolve into each other, creating separate layers.
Oil and vinegar form a heterogeneous mixture.

synthetic reaction
An omelette is a mechanical mixture because its ingredients, such as eggs, vegetables, and cheese, are combined without forming a homogenous solution. The ingredients maintain their individual properties within the omelette.
mechanical mixture
No, a mixture of oil and vinegar is not a solution. Solutions are homogeneous mixtures where one substance dissolves in another, while oil and vinegar will typically separate into distinct layers due to their different polarities.
Air is a mixture of gases.
