Is distilled water a compound, element, or mixture?
Answer:
Theoretically, distilled water is a compound. However, depending on the type of distillation performed as well as other factors, such as contaminants in the source water, it is often times in reality a mixture of multiple compounds.
distilled water is supposed to be pure h2o. but theres a reason why people demand even purer forms, such as RO ddH2O: reverse osmosis distilled deionized water for used in biomedical labs.
so distilled water is often a mixture.
it is the compound of two elements
Distilled water is a COMPOUND. It is pure H20. In every molecule there are two elements in a constant set ratio (two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom).
Compound. Since it's distilled you know it's not a mixture.
distaled water is a pure compound H2O. it is obtained by distilation of water. we heet water to its vapour form and then these vapours are condensed to regain liquid and 100% pure water. it will have no salts or any other substance desolved in it. it will be 100% H2O. a compound of Hydrogen and Oxygen gasses.
Water (H2O, HOH) is the most abundant molecule on Earth's surface, composing 70-75% of the Earth's surface as liquid and solid state in addition to being found in the atmosphere as a vapor.
You can say it is compound.
it's a compound..the thing is, it's purified water...
it's a compound.elements are the simplest form...like hydrogen and oxygen...seperately.if water were a mixture...you would be able to seperate the hydrogen from the oxygen easily.
