Question

Mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen in varying concentrations can be sparked to produce water. Define mixture and compound, and then explain the differences between a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen and the compound dihydrogen monoxide (also known as water).

Answer 1

Explanation:

Mixture is the physical Combination Of two or Substance

Example

a mixture of sugar and water.

Compound is the chemical combination of two or more metals.

Example.

a mixture of hydrogen and water.

A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen forms water or H2O

whereas The dihydrogen monoxide parody involves calling water by an unfamiliar chemical name, most often "dihydrogen monoxide" (DHMO), and listing some of water's properties in a particularly alarming manner, such as accelerating corrosion (rust) and causing suffocation (drowning). The parody often calls for dihydrogen monoxide to be banned, regulated, or labeled as dangerous. It plays into chemophobia and demonstrates how a lack of scientific literacy and an exaggerated analysis can lead to misplaced fears. The parody has been used with other chemical names such as hydrogen hydroxide, dihydrogen oxide, hydroxic acid, hydric acid and oxidane.
