How are compounds and homogeneous mixtures similar?

Answer 1

A compound is similar to a homogeneous mixture in that the proportions of the atoms throughout the compound/mixture are always fixed and do not vary. For example, a sample of pure C02 gas is a compound and will always have two parts oxygen to every carbon atom. Likewise, a homogeneous mixture of salt water will always have a fixed proportion of salt ions to water. (However, a heterogeneous mixture, such as muddy water would not always have a fixed proportion of mud to water since the mud might settle towards the bottom. The solution strength of a heterogeneous mixture can vary while a homogeneous mixture remains constant).
A homogeneous mixture can be separated into its constituent components by physical means. For example, you can evaporate off the water off a sugar-water mixture, or you can filter a mixture of water and sand.

A compound, however, requires some kind of chemical reaction to separate it into its constituent elements.

Answer 2

A homogeneous mixture is a mixture of two more compounds which can be separated by physical methods like boiling, electrophoresis, chromatography; For example Air is a homogeneous mixture, and so is the saturated sugar solution. Whereas a Compound is made from more than two atoms.

Answer 3

Compounds and homogeneous mixtures are both made up of multiple substances. In a compound, the substances are chemically bonded together, while in a homogeneous mixture, the substances are physically mixed together but do not chemically bond. Both compounds and homogeneous mixtures exhibit uniform properties throughout.

Answer 4

A compound is only one phase.
