What are some examples of when a mixture can always be a solution?
1 Answer
All homogeneous mixtures
Explanation:
"All solutions are mixtures, but not all mixtures are solutions."
A mixture is a solution only when it is homogeneous; i.e. the components are dispersed evenly throughout.
Some examples of solutions are
-
dissolved
#"NaCl"# in water -
sea water (various dissolved ions)
-
bright blue
#"CuCl"_2# solution (dissolved#"Cu"^(2+)# and#"Cl"^-# ions) -
vinegar (contains acetic acid,
#"CH"_3"COOH"# ) -
hydrochloric acid (concentrated
#"H"^+# and#"Cl"^-# ions) -
coffee (dissolved sugar molecules)
-
regular tap and bottled water! (there are, albeit in small quantities, some dissolved ions in tap water and bottled water (check the information label); this allows for the water to conduct a slight current, which is why you were probably told not to bring electrical devices in the bathtub!)
