Dilute ethanol is a mixture because it consists of ethanol (a compound) combined with water and possibly other substances. In this case, the components retain their individual properties and can be separated by physical means, such as distillation. Therefore, while ethanol itself is a compound, its dilute form with water constitutes a mixture.
To obtain a concentrated solution of ethanol from a dilute ethanol-water solution, distillation is commonly used. This process leverages the difference in boiling points between ethanol (approximately 78.4°C) and water (100°C). By heating the mixture, ethanol vaporizes first, allowing it to be collected and condensed back into liquid form, resulting in a higher concentration of ethanol. This method is efficient and widely employed in both laboratory and industrial settings.
It is actually a mixture of very dilute H2SO4 and HNO3
dilute hydrochloric acid
Solvents: ethanol and water Solutes: some organic compounds extracted from coconut
Dilute means that something is in a mixture. In this case it is a mixture of sulfuric acid and water which are both compounds.
Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) is a compound as it contains more than one element. The fact it is dilute simply refers to the fact it is in solution - typically in water.
No. It is a mixture of sulphuric acid and water.
A dilute form of ethanol is a solution of ethanol in water. It is commonly referred to as alcohol or ethyl alcohol and is commonly used in various applications such as disinfectants, cleaning solutions, and beverages. The concentration of ethanol in a dilute form can vary, with common percentages like 70% or 90% ethanol.
Vinegar is a dilute mixture of acetic acid and water.
Yes, adding water to ethanol will change its pH. Ethanol is a neutral compound with a pH of around 7. However, adding water will dilute the ethanol, potentially changing its pH depending on the amount of water added and the initial concentration of the ethanol solution.
Sulfuric acid itself is a compound with the formula H2SO4. However the word "dilute" means that the H2SO4 is dissolved in water, so it is a mixture.
House hold vineger is dilute acetic acid.So it is a mixture of water and acetic acid.Alone it can be considered as a compound.
Yes its solution in water is a mixture of hydrogen chloride and water.
The most common compound including chlorine is sodium chloride, or NaCl. Sodium metal explodes when exposed to water, and chlorine is a poisonous gas, so it's a little strange to realize that we have this compound sitting right there on the dinner table; we call it "salt". Another fairly common compound is the mixture of hydrogen with chlorine, which we call "hydrochloric acid"; it is commonly used for cleaning. In a very dilute solution, we call it "bleach".
No, mercury is a chemical element, and sulfuric acid is a different chemical compound. Mercury is a metal that is liquid at room temperature, while sulfuric acid is a strong mineral acid commonly used in various industries.
Well, darling, you can't make 90% ethanol from 100% ethanol because, sweetie, 100% means it's already pure ethanol. You can dilute it with a calculated amount of water to get to 90%, but you ain't changing that 100% ethanol into something else. So, mix it up with water like a fancy cocktail and voilà, you've got yourself some 90% ethanol.
