Seawater is a complex mixture primarily composed of water, salt, and various dissolved substances. The main components include sodium chloride (table salt), along with other salts like magnesium sulfate and calcium carbonate. It also contains dissolved gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, as well as organic materials, nutrients, and trace elements. This unique mixture contributes to the ocean's chemical properties and supports diverse marine life.

What the two type of mixtures?

Heterogenous and Homogenous mixtures. Homogenous mixtures are uniform in appearance. Sea water is a mixture containing primarily Sodium Chloride and water. If you take a sample of this mixture, you will see that the salt fully dissolves in water and the sample is uniform in appearance. Heterogenous mixtures non-uniform. You can see the components of the mixture. An Example is a mixture of oil and water. Oil does not dissolve in water and forms a separate layer above water.


To distil sea-water you must first.?

collect sea water in distilling flask. boil water. steam escapes, salt remains behind. use physical means to separate physical mixtures.

Is a mixture a solid?

Depends on the material! The atmosphere is a mixture but of gases. Sea-water is a mixture of water and solutions of minerals. An alloy is a mixture of metals. Just think of the definition of "mixture".

Are sea water air and water elements?

Sea water is a combination of water and various dissolved substances, so it is not considered an element. Air is a mixture of gases like oxygen, nitrogen, and others, and is also not an element. Water, however, is a compound made up of the elements hydrogen and oxygen.


What are non-examples of mixtures?

water


Are all mixtures are also solutions?

No, not all mixtures are solutions. A solution is a homogenous mixture where the substances are evenly distributed, but mixtures can be either homogenous or heterogenous. Heterogenous mixtures have uneven distribution of substances and do not form a clear solution.


What kinds of mixtures can be separated by distillation?

Fluid mixtures, and mixtures of substances in different phases, that differ in their boiling points, can be separated by distillation. For instance: Sand and water (solid/water mix) by evaporating (distilling) the water away from the sand. Alcohol and water (liquid/liquid solution) can be fractionally distilled, collecting the alcohol first and then the water, which boils at a higher temperature. CO2 and water (gas/liquid solution) can be be fractionally distilled also. Evaporating sea water (solid/liquid solution) to crystallize the salt, although, this leaves a mixture of salts which can't be separated by normal distillation.


Which are mixtures and which are not mixtures?

Mixtures have two properties:homogenous which only one phase can be seenex. water and sugarheterogenous which two or more phase can be seen.ex. halo-halo, soup, etc.not mixtures are the subtances
