Why do mixtures such as sugar and water lack a chemical formula?
Mixtures such as sugar and water do not have a chemical formula because they are composed of two or more substances physically combined, but not chemically bonded. Each substance retains its own chemical identity and properties in a mixture. A chemical formula is used to represent compounds, which are formed when elements chemically bond.
Why can a formula be used to represent a compound but not a mixture?
A formula represents the specific composition and ratio of elements in a compound, such as H2O for water. Compounds have fixed chemical properties. Mixtures are combinations of substances that are not chemically bonded and can have varying composition. Since mixtures can have different ratios of components, a single formula cannot represent all possible combinations within a mixture.
Is a mixture always a chemical combining of substances?
Any particular isolated sample of a mixture has a definite chemical composition, but the general idea of a mixture, even of the same materials, implies variability in possible chemical composition.
What is the chemical formula for vaccine?
A vaccine is not a chemical compound it is a mixture.
What is the chemical formula for iced tea?
H2SO4W3FE5O6SO3 + nitrous oxide = Arizona ice tea
A chemical formula can represent a mixture?
no chemical formulas only represent an element, something pure

Does a substance have a chemical formula?
Not necessarily. Alloys are "substances", but they don't generally have a chemical formula, they're mixtures which are not necessarily in stoichiometric proportions. The same is true for any mixture in general.
Why cant a mixture have a unique chemical formula?
Because in a mixture, there are no bonds formed between the elements, and therefore the proportions of each element are unknown, for the mixture as a whole. A mixture is not a chemical change.
Difference between mixture and substance?
A substance is equivalent to one compound, with a definited chemical formula. A mixture is a...mix of two or more substances (compounds).
What is the chemical formula of cocoa powder?
There is no chemical formula for chocolate, merely chemical componets of the ingredients. This is because chocolate is a mixture of these ingredients, and not a compound.
Is A mixture is a chemical combination of substances?
No. A mixture is a mechanical combination of substances. A chemical combination of two or more elements is a compound.

What is the chemical formula for a acorn?
There is no chemical formula for an acorn. An acorn is a heterogeneous mixture. Chemical formulas are only used for pure substances, that is compounds and elements.
Is CH3COOH a mixture?
no, a mixture is 2 substances mixed together without a specific formula
What is the chemical formula for bitominous coal?
This is a mixture not a compound with a chemical formula.
What is the chemical formula of heating gas?
Assuming by heating gas you mean "natural" gas, the the formula would be CH4 which is methane. Natural gas is mostly methane with some other combustible hydrocarbons added in.
