wait, what's the difference between solution and mixture?
:freak:

Solutions are homogeneous, mixtures aren't. ;)

pool water is not a mixture
if you took many samples of pool water
it would have different amounts of chlorine in it

by joe_canadian
Yeah, it'd have to have the same amount of chlrine throughout it to be a solution.

What about homogenized milk? :P

by happening fish
i just did a chemistry project on pool water and the additives (chlorine etc) are dissolved into it, therefore it is a solution.

Yeah.

Mixtures are when there are distinctly separate parts, such as salsa.

Hmm... my chem teacher said it wasn't. Bah, I'll put it in.

Thanks everyone, I think I've got this presentation in the bag now.
