Water is not a mechanical mixture; it is a homogeneous substance made up of molecules consisting of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H₂O). A mechanical mixture, on the other hand, consists of two or more substances that remain physically separate and can typically be distinguished from one another, such as sand and salt. While water can dissolve certain substances to form solutions, it itself is uniformly composed of the same type of molecules throughout.
Veggie oil is a mechanical mixture.
Detergent is a solution because it is a homogeneous mixture where the detergent molecules are evenly distributed and dissolved in water. This allows the detergent to effectively clean by interacting with dirt and oils on surfaces.
Mixture
Soda water is considered a mechanical mixture because it consists of carbon dioxide gas dissolved in water, creating distinct phases that can be identified. The carbon dioxide bubbles are not chemically bonded to the water; instead, they remain suspended, allowing for separation if the pressure is released. This characteristic of retaining its components without forming a new substance aligns with the definition of a mechanical mixture. Thus, soda water maintains its original properties while exhibiting a combined appearance.
Mechanical Mixture, because you can physically separate it.
No; water in a fish tank is not a mechanical mixture. It is a homogeneous mixture. Mechanical mixtures are heterogeneous mixtures.
No, a fish tank with water inside is not a mechanical mixture. It is a homogeneous mixture because the water and any additives are evenly distributed throughout the tank.
it is a solute and a solvent because it has different types of particles in it
No, silicon and water do not form a mechanical mixture. A mechanical mixture is a physical combination of substances in which the individual components retain their original properties and can be separated by physical means. In the case of silicon and water, they do not mix together to form a homogeneous mixture and can be easily separated by filtration or settling.
People describe water as a mechanical mixture because it is a mixture of two or more substances that can be easily separated by physical means, such as filtration or evaporation. In the case of water, it is a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen molecules that can be separated using these physical methods.
Water is a compound, where two hydrogen atoms are covalently bonded to one oxygen atom. It is not classified as a mechanical mixture or a solution, but rather a pure substance with a definite composition.
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.
Mechanical mixture: When two or more different materials are mixed together but are visibly not wholly one, like sand and stones on a beach, or milk and cereal in a bowl, a mechanical mixture is created. Another name is "Heterogeneous mixture". These mixtures are without definite composition, and have several component parts that can mechanically separated from the rest.So therefore, yes. a heterogeneous mixture is also called a mechanical mixture.Wow.I searched this question up for a friend for our science test.Glad I could answer :D
jello is not a mechanical mixture.
Orange juice is a heterogeneous mixture, meaning it is a mechanical mixture. It contains various components such as pulp, water, sugars, acids, and other compounds that are not uniformly distributed throughout the liquid.
Soda water is a solution of carbon dioxide in water (under pressure).
Veggie oil is a mechanical mixture.
