Lesson
1 Pure Substances and Mixtures

Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. Earth is composed of
different forms of matter. Based on its composition, matter can be classified as either
pure substance or a mixture.
The diagram below shows how matter is classified according to its
composition.

Matter
can be
classified into

Substances Mixtures

Elements Compound Homogeneous Heterogeneous

Mixtures and substances are found everywhere. Maybe you are not aware of
it but, in our daily activities we deal with mixtures and substances. Substances are
the pure form of matter, while mixtures are the combination of two or more
substances. The air you breathe, the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the soap
you used to wash your hands, and the rubbing alcohol you used as a disinfectant
are combinations of substances to form mixtures.

4
LU_Q1_Science7_Module3
 Based on your previous lesson, you learned that pure substances are matter
that has distinct properties and compositions that do not vary from sample to
sample. Substances are homogeneous or with uniform composition and appearance
are the same all throughout. They cannot be separated into two or more substances
by simple physical means. They are either classified as an element or a compound.
Sugar, table salt, the aluminum in soda cans, and gold in jewelries are examples of
pure substances.

Discover

Pure Substance

A pure substance consists of one phase with definite composition. It appears

uniform in appearance and composition, regardless of its size. This can either be
one single element or one single compound. Every sample of this substance that you
examine must contain exactly the same thing with a fixed, definite set of properties.

Figure 1. Examples of Pure Substances

Source: https://sciencenotes.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/PureSubstances-1024x683.png

Other Distinguishing Characteristics of Pure Substances

1. Pure substances are always homogeneous

Both sugar and table salt are usually found in your homes. Have you ever
noticed that sugar is composed of single phase of matter? In the same way that salt
and water are all composed of just one phase. It implies that all pure substances
are homogeneous. When we say homogeneous, we are speaking of a one phase
system whose properties are the same the whole time.

5
LU_Q1_Science7_Module3
2. Pure substances are made up of only one kind of matter and have definite
composition
Why are all pure substances homogeneous? All pure substances are
homogeneous because they are made up of only one kind of matter. In addition, the
characteristics of different samples of a pure substance are the same because all
pure substances have a definite composition. Just like for example, water in Japan
has the same characteristics as water in the Philippines. This is because water, in
any part of the world, is always made up of water molecules, having two hydrogen
(H) atoms and one oxygen (O) atom. Since the composition of water is fixed then to
have water there should be two atoms of hydrogen and an atom of oxygen in its
molecule.

3. Pure substances have definite melting and boiling points.

Pure substances have definite melting and boiling points. Boiling point is the
temperature at which liquid starts changing into gaseous phase. Melting point is the
temperature at which solid begins to melt.
During boiling, the temperature of a substance is fixed and sharp. Different
substances have different boiling points as seen in Table 1.

Table 1. Boiling Point of Some Substances

Substance Boiling Point
Mercury 357 ºC
Water 100 ºC
Ethyl 78 ºC
Chlorine 33.6 ºC

During melting, a substance melts at specific temperature. In Table 2, Iron

melts at the highest temperature; ice has a very low melting point.

Table 2. Melting Point of Some Substances

Substance Melting Point
Iron 1,535 ºC
Silver 960 ºC
Sugar 186 ºC
Ice 0 ºC

4. The components of a pure substance cannot be separated physically.

In pure substances, the components are chemically combined. The
components are difficult to separate using physical means. Compounds can only be
separated by chemical processes. Just as in the process called electrolysis or by-
passing an electric current, the Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O) components of water
are separated.

Always Remember!
• Pure substances are always homogeneous.
• Pure substances are made up of only one kind of matter.
• Pure substances have definite composition.
• Pure substances have definite melting and boiling points.
• In pure substances, components are chemically combined, thus they
cannot be separated by physical means.

LU_Q1_Science7_Module3
Mixtures

Mixtures are physical combination of two or more substances. The substances

that are combined retain their characteristic properties. There are infinite number of
mixtures around you. When you prepare coffee, you are preparing a mixture made
up of coffee powder, sugar, and hot water. The amount of each component that you
put into the mixture varies according to how you want your coffee to taste. Alloy, like
stainless steel and bronze medal, seawater, and air are examples of mixtures.
The components of a mixture can be solid, liquid, or gaseous phases.
Furthermore, mixtures can be classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous.

Figure 2. Examples of Homogeneous mixture

Source: https://sciencenotes.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Homogeneous-Mixture-Examples.jpg

More information about mixtures will be presented as you go along with the
module. Have fun learning!

The following are some of the properties and characteristics of mixtures:

1. Appearance
Homogeneous mixtures are mixtures exhibiting uniform phase and
appearance. This makes the appearance of the mixture the same all throughout. It
is known as a single-phase mixture because only one phase is present. A
homogeneous mixture is also known as a solution. You may remember that phase
refers to that part of a mixture that is physically distinct. That part may be in the
solid, liquid and gaseous state. A solution consists of two components called the
solvent and the solute. The solute and the solvent dissolve in each other. The solute
is the component present in small amount or is the component that dissolves in the
solution. The solvent is the dissolving medium or the component present in greater
amount. The components of a solution is difficult to distinguish by the unaided eye.
Air is an example of a homogeneous mixture because it is composed of
different gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. An alloy is a
homogeneous mixture. It is a solid solution of two or more metallic
substances.

7
LU_Q1_Science7_Module3
 Heterogeneous mixtures are mixtures with no uniform phase and appearance. It
consists of two or more phases. The composition is not the same all throughout the
mixture. The components of this type of mixture remain physically separated.
Vegetable salad, halo–halo and cereals in milk are examples of it.

Figure 3. Examples of Heterogeneous mixtures

2. Separating Technique
Since a mixture is a physical combination of two or more substances then it
follows that it can as well be separated by ordinary physical processes.

There are a variety of ways to separate substances in mixtures. Knowing the

properties and characteristics of substances, helps determine which method is best
when separating mixtures. Here are some methods:

a. Filtration

Filtration is the separation of an insoluble

solid from a liquid mixture using filter paper. The
liquid part collected is called the filtrate and the
solid that remained on the filter paper is called
the residue. An example is separating chalk from
water.

Figure 4. Filtration process

Example-700x327.png

8
LU_Q1_Science7_Module3
 b. Evaporation
Evaporation separates the soluble solid from
the liquid component of the solution by applying heat
into the mixture to change the liquid part into gas.
The component that is recovered during that process
is called the residue. One example is separating salt
from water.

Figure 5. Evaporation process

Source:https://images.twinkl.co.uk/tw1n/image/private/t_630/u/ux/evaporation-wiki_ver_1.png

c. Use of Magnets
The use of magnet can be done to separate the
metallic materials from nonmetallic materials. Metals
such as iron, nickel, and cobalt are attracted by a
magnet, which facilitates separation.

Figure 6. The use of magnets

et-266x300.png

d. Decantation
In decantation, the large particles of insoluble
solid are separated from the liquid mixture. Example
is separating sand in water.

LU_Q1_Science7_Module3
 e. Manual separation
Manual separation separates using a
spoon or any scooping material or by picking
and sieving. For example: separating pebbles
mixed in rice grains

phpapp02/95/ways-of-separating-mixtures-1-638.jpg?cb=1406618775

f. Distillation
This method is best for
separating a liquid from a solution. In
a way, the concept is similar to
evaporation, but in this case, the vapor
is collected by condensation. For
example: to separate pure water from a
salt solution.

3. Boiling point and Melting point

There are mixtures that are homogeneous which may be mistaken as
substances. Being so, the appearance may not be the best basis to differentiate
substances from mixtures. However, there are ways to tell by studying how a mixture
behaves during boiling and melting.
During boiling, the temperature of a mixture is different at different times. For
example, if an unknown liquid sample boils at 104 º C – 108 º C, the range suggests
that the sample is a mixture.
During melting, a mixture has portions that seem to be not melting. For
example, if an unknown solid sample melts at 102 – 110 º C, the difference indicates
that the sample is a mixture.

Always Remember!
• Mixtures are made up of two or more substances combined physically.
• Mixtures can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous.
• The components of mixtures can combine in any proportion.
• The components of mixtures can be separated through physical means.
• Mixtures have varying physical and chemical properties.
•
The summary of differences between pure substances and mixtures are given
