First, we should define what a mixture and a two-phase mixture mean.
A mixture is a combination of two or more substances without any chemical reaction occurring between them. Components of a mixture can be separated using physical methods such as heating, filtering, evaporation, etc
A two-phase mixture is a type of mixture that contains two different phases of matter, for example solid and liquid phases in one mixture or liquid and gas phases in one mixture.

Now, we can give examples of two-phase mixtures and mention how to separate them:
A mixture of sand and water is considered a two-phase mixture (sand is sold and water is a liquid).
The components can easily be separated using filtration where the sand will remain on the filter paper and water will pass.

Another example is a mixture of sugar and water (sugar is a solid and water is a liquid).
The components can be separated by heating. We can eat the mixture until water evaporates and the sugar is precipitated. The evaporated water can then be condensed into a different container.

Hope this helps :)

sorry idk the answer well to you i have a explaination

explanation: a formula which shows the arrangement of atoms in the molecule of a compound

Answer from: Quest

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.
