Can you describe how mixtures relate to substances?
Answer (3)
A substance is a pure form of matter in which all the constituent particles are the same in their chemical nature, while a mixture is a combination of two or more substances. A substance cannot be separated into other kinds of matter by any physical process. But a mixture can be separated into pure substances by appropriate separation techniques such as filteration, sedimentation, evaporation, crystallisation, etc..
A substance in chemistry is a form of matter consisting having fixed chemical composition (like water). A mixture is a material made up of two or more substances (like water with sugar) - mixed, but not combined with chemical bonding.
Mixtures are physical combinations of two or more pure substances that retain their individual properties, while pure substances are consistent in composition and properties across all samples. Mixtures can be separated by physical methods, unlike pure substances, which cannot be broken down further without a chemical reaction. The study of mixtures and substances is essential to understanding the behavior of matter in chemistry.
