Question

Would the salt that the people made contain just one substance? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mixtures are defined as assemblies of materials that have no chemical bonds between them and thus can usually be separated - like sand and water.

Solutions where a solid material such as salt is completely dissolved are not generally thought of as mixtures because there is loose hydrogen bonding involved in the dissolving of a solute in a solvent.

Solutions lie between pure substances and true mixtures, but are usually not thought of as mixtures.
