Water is a pure substance and table salt is a pure substance, so seawater is inherently a pure substance Is the aforementioned statement true or false? Justify in each circumstance.
I feel like it wouldn't be, because adding two pure substances creates a new substance in itself, which isn't necessarily a pure substance, if that makes sense.
You are talking about seawater or saltwater? if its seawater there will be some impurities in it.
salt water
@ question error ---- -seawater should be saltwater
You can't form any other products here, \[NaCl + H_2O \rightarrow NaOH + HCl\] Since the reverse reaction is almost 100%. NaOH is a strong base, and HCl is a strong acid, and the mixture of the two is an irreversible reaction, forming NaCl and H2O.
Huh? Lol Im Lost..
All I wanna know is if the statement is true or false And Why?
You can say its true. Because it doesn't form any other compounds chemically.
