Chemistry Questions

Fractional distillation is the process of seperation of a mixture of two or more liquids into the different fractions, which differ fairly widely in their boiling points. The liquid with a lower boiling point will be vaporized first and hence would be the distillate (first fraction). Eg. Ethyl alcohol has a boiling point of 78.10C and water 1000C. When a mixture of these two liquids is heated, alcohol vaporizes first and is collected separately as the distillate. 

An Element is a pure substance of one type of atom. In chemistry, any material such as carbon, hydrogen, iron, or oxygen that cannot be broken down into more fundamental substances is nothing but an element.

True, Water is a Pure substance and not a mixture.

We know that, A mixture is when two or more substances combine physically together. You can find that the mixture retains the properties of the original components.

In water, two hydrogen atoms combine with one oxygen atom chemically, forming a new substance that has properties different from hydrogen alone or oxygen alone.

Therefore, water is not a mixture; it is a compound and it is pure.
