Answer :

Explanation:

A mixture is defined as a substance which consists of two or more substances that are physically combined to each other.

For example, when peas and carrots are mixed together then both of them physically combine together.

A mixture can be easily separated by physical means. Whereas substances which are chemically combined to each other leads to formation of new substances.

A chemical substance can only be separated by chemical means.

Hence, a can containing peas and carrots is a mixture.

Some other mixtures are as follows.

  • Sand in water.
  • Peas and potatoes.
  • Onions and carrots.
  • Stones in a liquid.
