Salt Water: Mixture or Compound?

[Reina Robles 2B]

Is saltwater a mixture or a compound? From what I remember, the textbook says one thing while the internet says another. Thanks!

I think salt water is a mixture because it is made up of different compounds/elements (salt and water).

I agree that salt water is a mixture, because you can separate the two (salt and water) from each other simply by boiling away the water. The salt crystals from the salt water don't chemically combine/react with the water molecules, so it wouldn't be a compound

Mixture... They don't change each others main chemical components when they mix and they can be separated physically

[Chem_Mod]

Salt water is a mixture that contains a compound (NaCl)
