A mixture is an impure substance that can be separated into pure substances by physical means. For example, dirty water can be purified by filtration. Each item retains its properties in the mixture.
What is the definition of a mixture?

• dirty water

• cannot be separated

• impure substance

Answer explanation

A mixture is defined as an impure substance that can be separated into pure substances by physical means, such as filtration. Each item retains its properties in the mixture.
