describe  How is a compound similar to a homogeneous mixture? How is it different?
458226
compound is a mixture of 2 differ net elements. homogeneous mixture of 2 or more substances that keep their identifies. therefore they are similar in that they are mixture of two or more diffident substances, but different in that the homogeneous mixture has the substances that keep their identifies. Homogeneous mixtures are also called solutions because u cannot identify their ingredients like in a compound.

A compound contains more than one element (H2O).  A molecule may contain atoms of one element only (O2).

The question was presented as an example of something puzzling - you have a substance - tartaric acid if i remember that is not optically active and then you have the same substance (but made as a result of microbial activity) that has identical properties, the only difference is that it is optically active - nobody then knew why\n\nhe let the optically inactive solution  crystalize, looked really close and well and compared - then noticed that the crystals differ - are like a miror image, he manually sorted them out and WOW the 2 solutions were optically active - the same degree but oposite direction (if you understand me, i do not know what this is called in english). then he assume that the microbes can do the sorting in their body. He spent his lifetime looking in microscopes or experimenting with unbelievable patience while enyybody else would have given up long time ago, thats why he made so many breakthroughs

Of the SAME substance or different ones?\n\nAnd in what context?\n\n\nliquid, plasma, gas, solid, gel, sponge, degenerate gas, supercritical fluid.

A homogeneous substance is made entirely of one kind of substance.  A heterogeneous substance is a combination of two or more different things.\n\nFor example, tomoato soup is homogeneous, but vegetable soup is heterogeneous.  A pure metal (like copper) is homogeneous, but an alloy (like brass) is made of a mixture of different metals.

Rock can be either. For example, gold can be included in quartzite as discrete nuggets and therefore is heterogeneous but in shales and slates, lava, and even crystals, it is homogeneous. A heterogeneous material is a mixture of two or more things that are not bonded together and could be separated easily. A homogeneous substance is one where two or more elements are joined together in such a way that they are not easily separated. Think of this...sand and sugar...they are heterogeneous as we can dissolve the sugar and separate them easily, but with milk and coffee...they are homogeneous as it would be very difficult to divide the two.

Oh, is someone trying to do their homework online?\nWell let me get out my best shot, this was like 300 years ago. so anyway:\n\nMixture is a combination of two or more different particles that do not react one another. For example salt and sugar.\n\nSolution is a homogeneous mixture in which one substance (the solute) is dissolved in another substance (the solvent). Example: sugary water (water as the solvent plus sugar as the solute produces the solution of sugary water\n\nA solution is always a mixture because you have two or more ingredients that dont' react with one another, so its always a mixture because there are two or more reacting ingredients. However, not every mixture is a solution, because there are two ore more ingredients however, they dont get dissolved or mixed with one another.

Your unknown compound might be an impure substance.  The impurities will skew the melting point.  You should find out if the substance is pure or not.  Pure substances (that is, with nothing else mixed with them) will have a narrow ranging in which they melt, for example, pure Naphthalene melts between 83-85 Celsius.

The samples must be homogenously ground to enable the solvent to fully soak into the sample and extract the compound you want in question. Also there is a question of statical averages so a uniformed powder sample is the best for this process. If the sample is lumply or too big the solvent can't fully soak into it and wherefor not all of your compound in question is extracted by the process (Then the solvent fills up the soxhlet thumbie (sp)). If this happens you will get a incorrect value then you come to do the maths in determinating the amoult of the coumpound in question.

It is just from the way that the elements are fused together to form the compound. It's the same as any other metal.

No, they're completely dissimilar compounds.  Alcohols have an OH group, single bonded.  Ethers have an O group in the middle of the carbon chain.  I strongly advice you not to play around with ether.

A colloid is a mixture. It's particles are larger than that of a solution, and smaller than those in a suspension. It has two components, the dispersal phase and the dispersal medium. In other words, the thing dispersed, and the thing where it is dispersed. It comes in different forms:\n\n1) Solid foam - gas in solid (e.g. charcoal)\n2) Smoke - solid in gas (smoke)\n3) Fog - liquid in gas (clouds)\n4) Foam - gas in liquid (beated eggs)\n5) Emulsion - liquid in liquid (yogurt)\n6) Sol - solid in liquid (paint)\n7) Gel - liquid in solid (gel)\n8) Solid sol - solid in solid (stained glass)\n\nThere's no gas in gas because it makes a solution, just like the air.\n\nIt's easy to identify a colloid form another type of mixture. It's different to a suspension 'cause it can go through a strainer (except for the solid ones of course). It's different to a solution 'cause it's not clear. And, when you shine it with light, it will glow.

Here's a hint: mixtures can always be broken down into other things.  \n1. Sea water is a mixture because it has a ton of different things in it, like salt and water and various microorganisms.  \n2. Cooking oil is a mixture.  It is a blend of various kinds of oils.  \n3. Coal is a pure substance.  It is made up of nothing but carbon atoms, pure to the atomic level. \n4. Steel is a mixture.  It is an alloy of different other metals, especially iron.  It also uses carbon.  \n5. Chili sauce has all sorts of ingredients.  I don't know what they are exactly, but there has to be stuff like different peppers and condiment bases.  It's definitely a mixture.  \n6. Bronze is a mixture.  It's another metal alloy made with tin, copper, and some other metals.  \n7. Sand is a mixture.  I live by the beach, and you can see variations in the grains' colors. They're not all the same, so it's a mixture of different kinds of sand. \n8. Gold is an element.  At 24 k, it's as pure as you need to be for practical purposes.  Pure substance.  \n9. Orange squash: well, it's all orange squash, but squash has the stem, the skin, the flesh, and all these different parts. The components themselves range from DNA to proteins to sugars and carbohydrates and other organic molecules.  Mixture.  \n10. Salt is pure.  Just NaCl, baby.  \n11. Milk has fats and proteins and carbs and water and vitamins.  Mixture. \n10. Oxygen is just oxygen, an element.  Pure substance. \n12. Air is a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, noble gases, and hydrogen.\n13. "Oranger" juice: same as milk, for the most part.  Mixture.  \n14. Coke: caffeine, carbonic acid, sugars... mixture\n15. Soil has all sorts of stuff in it. Mixture.

They usually are not defined that way, but you can have:\n\n1. Redox in base solutions\n2. Redox in acid solutions\n3. Single species where the same species (such as I2) is bothe the oxidizing and reducing agent.\n4. Non water based\n5. Molten (no solvent at all) other than the components\n6.spontaneous/non-spontaneous

First one:\nA mixture is just a mix of many different things.  Think of chex mix.  You could pick out all the pieces and it would be easy.  I compound is held together by bonds and could not be separated easily.  \nSecond one:\nIonic.  Ionic compounds are held together by their opposing charges.  These charges would allow electricity to be conducted.  A molecular compound is when two atoms share electrons to fill up their orbitals.

The word "solution" is synomynous with the phrase "homogeneous mixture," which means that it is uniform throughout.  When we say that coffee is a solution, we are saying that it is uniform throughout, which, for practical purposes, it is.

None. They are two different compounds.\n\nIt looks like you want to compare a specific property of the alcohols. Please specify!
