Seawater is composed of salt, sand, and water. is seawater a heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture? explain

Chemistry

Umnica [9.8K]3 years ago
4 0

A mixture is said to be homogeneous if its composition is uniform throughout the mixture. They are referred to as solutions. On the other hand, heterogeneous mixture does not have uniform composition. The substances present in the mixture have visible difference or phases.

Sea water is composed of salt, sand and water. Here, salt and water form homogeneous mixture but due to the presence of sand, the mixture is heterogeneous. Salt dissolves in water and the solution has uniform composition but sand does not dissolve in water, even after vigorous mixing, after some time it settles at the bottom resulting formation of layers. Thus, sea water containing salt, water and sand is a heterogeneous mixture.

Annette [7]

Explanation:

Fusion vs Fission

In fission, energy is gained by splitting apart heavy atoms, for example uranium, into smaller atoms such as iodine, caesium, strontium, xenon and barium, to name just a few. However, fusion is combining light atoms, for example two hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium, to form the heavier helium. Both reactions release energy which, in a power plant, would be used to boil water to drive a steam generator, thus producing electricity.

How does radioactive isotopes decay?
aksik [14]
They can decay through one of three ways: 
alpha decay
beta decay and
gamma decay
ALPHA- particle with two neutrons and two protons is ejected from the nucleus of the radioactive atom. this particle released is called an alpha particle. Only occurs with heavy metals.
BETA- pretty much when a proton is transformed into a neutron, or vise versa. in a beta minus decay, the nuetron decays into a proton and in a beta plus decay, a proton decays into a neutron
GAMMA- the nucleus changes from a high energy state to a low energy state by releasing electromagnetic radiation (photons). the number of protons and neutrons stay the same during this reaction therefore the element is still the same.
