A mixture of silver nitrate is a homogeneous mixture because the silver nitrate molecules are evenly distributed throughout the solution at a molecular level. This means that the composition and properties are uniform throughout the mixture.
Silver nitrate solution is a compound, as it is made up of silver, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms bonded together in a specific ratio (AgNO3). It is not a mixture because its composition is fixed and cannot be easily separated into its individual components.
Yes, sterling silver is considered a solid solution because it is a homogeneous mixture of silver and other metals, typically copper, to increase its strength and durability. The atoms of silver and copper are evenly distributed within the material, creating a single-phase solid solution.
A solution is a type of mixture where one or more substances are dissolved in another substance. So, a solution can be considered both a mixture and a solution.
it is a solution
