CoachConcrete is a mixture because it is composed of different materials, such as cement, water, aggregates (like sand and gravel), and sometimes additives. These components are combined in specific proportions to create a strong and durable building material with desired properties like strength, durability, and workability. Mixing these materials together allows for a uniform distribution, ensuring consistent quality in the final product.

Explain how concrete is a mixture and not a pure substance?
Concrete is a mixture of different substances (compounds) not a sinle compound.
Is concrete a homogeneous mixture?
Concrete is a heterogeneous mixture. It has a no uniform composition of heavier elements that are later mixed to become evenly distributed as possible. But it is still going to be heterogeneous. Concrete is a heterogeneous mixture. It has a no uniform composition of heavier elements that are later mixed to become evenly distributed as possible. But it is still going to be heterogeneous.
Is concrete a compound an element or a mixture?
Concrete is a composite construction material, composed of cement (commonly Portland cement) and other cementitious materials such as fly ash and slag cement, aggregate (generally a coarse aggregate made of gravel or crushed rocks such as limestone, or granite, plus a fine aggregate such as sand), water and chemical admixtures.
Is concrete a compound after the water evaporates and it hardens?
Concrete is not a compound after water evaporates and it hardens. Concrete is a mixture of aggregate materials (such as sand and gravel) and cement, which binds the materials together. When water is added to the mixture, a chemical reaction occurs with the cement that causes it to harden and bind the aggregate materials together.
