Trail mix is just that - a mix. Or in science terms, it is a mixture. One way you can tell this is a mixture is that you can A) eat all the parts. B) measure the amounts of the parts. C) separate the parts by their properties. D) identify the parts that make up the mixture.

Answer : C) separate the parts by their properties.

Explanation:

Mixture is a substance which has two or more components which do not combine chemically and do not have any fixed ratio in which they are present. Trail is a mixture of various substances which do not react chemically and thus the constituents retain their chemical properties. The substances can be separated by using physical properties.

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. The elements lose their individual chemical properties. The elements can not be separated using physical means.

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance
