Because seawater is made up of many elements that can be seperated.

∙ 9y agoGenerally, speaking yes because the different constituent mixed evenly.
Within a small radius (several hundred kilometers) the seawater should be relatively homogenous. However, it should be noted that very disparate parts of the oceans will have somewhat different mixtures.

∙ 8y agoIt is a solution of salt (solute, mainly NaCl) and water (solvent).
Ocean water is a mixture because it contains salt. This water usually contains less than 5 percent salt, as well as other substances.
Because a mixture is defined as being a substance which can be physically separated, you can separate the salt from the water so it's a mixture.
Seawater, or saltwater, is a mixture. A mixture, by definition, is a composition of two or more substances that are not chemically combined. The substances (water and salt) exist as separate compounds yet are composed in part of the same medium. Essentially, the water and salt are capable of being separated.

∙ 15y agoIt is not correct. Think, Can you just remove all the salt from the ocean with your hand. It is a solution. But, If your Teacher says it, Just go with it.

∙ 12y agoBecause the "pure" part (the water) has all kinds of stuff both dissolved and in suspension.

Is sea water pure?
Absolutely not. A pure substance is a substance that consists of only one species. This is a hypothetical scenario, as the closest thing in a household is probably copper wire. Even distilled water (a great deal purer than sea water) is a mixture of H2O and some ions.
Is sea water compound mixture or element?
Its a miture
How is pure water obtained from sea water in Africa?
they can get the sea water into a chamber then evaporate it and make it go through a pipe then condense it into someing
Is seaweed a pure substance?
No, it is an organic tissue, coming from the leaves of a marine plant, thus the name: "sea-weed".
What makes ocean water a solution?
Because there are thousands (for real) of things dissolved in it
Is sea water mixture or pure substance?
It is a mixture. A pure substance contains only one type of substance or one species of any substance or element. Sea water is a mixture of different salts dissolved in water. Thus, it is not a pure substance. Another point is that the different components of sea water can be observed separately.
Is Seawater pure substance or mixture?
Salt water is a homogeneous mixture called a solution containing salt and water. Salt is the solute and water is the solvent. It is a mixture because the salt and water are not chemically combined and are not present in definite proportions.
What is sea water compound or a mixture?
It's a compound mixture because it's not pure water so isn't pure!
Does sea water conduct electricity?
yes. because sea water is a mixture. it is not pure water.
What is sea water a compound mixture or element?
It's a compound mixture because it's not pure water so isn't pure!
Is sea water a mixer or a substance?
It is a mixture of water, salts and oxygen.
Is sea water pure?
Absolutely not. A pure substance is a substance that consists of only one species. This is a hypothetical scenario, as the closest thing in a household is probably copper wire. Even distilled water (a great deal purer than sea water) is a mixture of H2O and some ions.
Is seawater a homogeneous mixture or heterogeneous mixture explain?
seawater is a homogeneous mixture. The water being the solvent and the salt being the solute. A heterogeneous mixture is mixed but not as thoroughly as a homogeneous mixture. None of these though are chemically combined, none are compounds. (hence mixture)
What does not represent a pure substance A. silver B. water C. sea water D. sodium?
c. Sea water because it is a combination of salt and water.
What is separated into pure substances by a physical method?
false
Is sea water a mixture or compound?
Seawater is a mixture - a compound is a chemically bonded substance involving more than one element.
How to obtain pure water and ethanol from a mixture of sea water and ethanol?
You would use distillation, in which the ethanol and water will boil at different temperatures.
