What I Need to Know
In module 2 and 3, you have learned about elements and compounds which
are classifications of substances. By studying the two modules, you have learned why
elements and compounds are classified as substances. You also identified examples
of elements and compounds and learned about their properties. The properties of
matter distinguish them from others like when you were able to distinguish an element
from a compound.
In this module, you will continue to learn about matter. The discussion in this
module will be focused on understanding about mixtures which is another
classification of matter. Hence, you will be focusing on the following as your…
Learning Objectives

What’s In
During your elementary years you have learned about matter which is a topic
in Chemistry – a branch of Science. In module 2, you were able to classify matter
into pure substances or mixtures. You learned that pure substances can be
classified as elements or compounds. These elements or compounds can be seen
around the household which we use in everyday life.
In your study about elements and compounds, you have learned that elements
are made up of a single particle. There are 118 elements that were discovered by
different scientists and scholars which were systematically arranged in the Periodic
Table. Compounds on the other hand can be a combination of two or more particles
of the same or different kind of elements. Common example of compound that is used
at home is the table salt (NaCl) which is a chemical combination of sodium (Na) and
chlorine (Cl). You also learned that an element is a substance that cannot be broken
down into simpler substances while a compound is a combination of elements that
lose their individual properties resulting to a set of different properties from the
elements they are composed of.
To understand more about matter, let us study in this module the properties of
mixtures that are different from compounds so that in module 5, you will be able to
differentiate the two classifications of matter.
What’s New
This part of the module will give you an overview of what topic is going to be
discussed. Read and understand the conversation on the comic strips.

Hey Connie, do you know

What’s In it
Let us study the flowchart below about matter to answer the different activities.
In the figure, you will find that mixture is another category of matter that is classified
into heterogeneous and homogeneous. Homogeneous mixtures are called solution.
You will be studying solutions in module 5. Heterogeneous mixtures are classified into
colloids and suspensions.
Mixtures are made up of two or more substances that are not chemically
combined with each other. The following are the key properties of mixtures:
2. There is no formula for the combination of matter in a mixture. For instance, the
vinegar that we are using in the kitchen is 5% acetic acid and 95% water. When
acetic acid and water is physically combined, there is no formula for the vinegar
but the formula for acetic acid is CH3COOH and pure water is H2O.

Below is a figure that explains the appearance of homogeneous and
heterogeneous. The pic
A. Heterogeneous Mixture
The layering of the compositions of the mixture is called phase so in the figure
above, there are two layers formed after the combination. The prefix: "hetero"- indicate
difference. A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture of two or more chemical substances
(elements or compounds), where the different components can be visually
distinguished and easily separated by physical means. Examples of Heterogeneous
mixtures – halo halo, salad, pinakbet, etc.

Clay with water Glue
B. Homogeneous Mixture
4. The properties of the mixture depends upon the individual components. In the
supermarket, you will find different displays of chili paste. The spicy flavor of the chili
paste depends on the variety of chili and the other ingredients that was mixed into it.
This means that not all chili paste can be as spicy as another chili paste.
5. The composition of the mixture can be separated by physical methods. Unlike the
compounds which are chemically combined, mixtures are not chemically combined.
Hence, mixtures can be separated physically using different separating methods that
will be discussed in the next module.

6. Boiling point and the melting point of the mixture depends upon the characteristic
of the constituents. As a common example, salt water boils at a
higher temperature than pure water. In other mixtures of miscible compounds
(components), there may be two or more components of varying volatility, each having
its own pure component boiling point at any given pressure. On the other hand,
The melting point (or, rarely, liquefaction point) of a substance is the temperature at
which it changes state from solid to liquid. At the melting point the solid and liquid
phase exist in equilibrium. However, in a mixture of water and orange juice powder,
the melting point of the mixture will have a little discrepancy compared to the melting
point of pure water only.
During the formation of a mixture, there is no change in energy. All the states
of matter (solid, liquid, gases) can combine to form mixtures. Mixtures are everywhere.
For example, when we bake a cake, it's a result of a mixture of eggs, flour, sugar, and
other ingredients. Mixtures can also be much simpler than that. Any time two or more
items are combined, a mixture is formed. Sometimes, the different parts of a mixture
can be separated into individual entities. Other times, they're married for as long as
they exist. An example of a mixture is adding loose leaf tea to hot water, creating a
simple kind of mixture that we call tea. Let's explore more examples of mixtures. The
crude oil is a mixture of organic compounds (mainly hydrocarbons); the seawater is a
mixture of various salt and water; the air is a mixture of various gases like oxygen,
carbon dioxide, nitrogen, argon, neon, etc.; the ink is a mixture of colored dyes; and
gunpowder which is a mixture of sulfur, potassium nitrate and carbon.
Food mixtures are often heterogeneous mixtures. A bowl of cold soup by the
Bontoc people which is called “sabeng”, for example, is heterogeneous because you
can literally pull out the individual pieces of cassava from it.
Types of Solutions
Beyond the things we eat, our environments are full of other mixtures. Here are
a few more examples: smoke and fog becomes smog; dirt and water makes up mud;
the sea water is made up of water and salt; the sea foam that is carried by wave is
made up of oxygen and water; a combination of minerals, organic materials, air, water,
and living organisms makes up soil; and plasma, white blood cells, red blood cells,
and platelets combined makes up blood.
10
As you noticed, the given examples above are solutions that can be found in
nature. These are called naturally occurring solutions because they are existing in
nature which cannot be produced by man. Basically, these are God’s creations that
man cannot make on his own.
Some of the most important mixtures that we use in the construction or building
infrastructures are strong metals called alloys. These metals are the result of
combining two or more metals together, typically in
order to strengthen them. Here's a list of alloys:
Aluminum, nickel, and cobalt (Alnico), Nickel,
manganese, aluminum, and silicon (Alumel), copper
and arsenic (Arsenical copper), Copper and silver
(Billon), Zinc and copper (Brass).
