Air is composed of many different gasses, while water is a pure substance. Which choice best compares air and water?(1 point)
Responses
Air is a mixture of two or more components that keep their own identifying properties, while water is composed of compounds that combine forming a mixture.

why?
Air is considered a mixture because it is composed of different gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, each retaining their individual properties within the mixture. On the other hand, water is a pure substance composed of two elements, hydrogen, and oxygen, that chemically combine to form a compound with distinct properties. This comparison highlights the difference between a mixture like air and a pure substance like water.
Since water is a pure substance would it be composed of compounds that form a mixture?
I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. Water is indeed a pure substance composed of two elements, hydrogen and oxygen, that chemically combine to form a compound. So, the correct comparison between air and water would be:
Air is a mixture of different gases that retain their individual properties, while water is a pure substance composed of compounds (hydrogen and oxygen) that chemically combine to form a single substance.
