Lesson 1 Pure substance and Mixture

Matter is anything that occupy space and has mass. It can be classified as solid, liquid or gas.
Aside from this, all matter can be classified as to pure substance and mixture.
Matter can be found everywhere. The air you breathe, the water you drink, the food you eat, and even
the clothes you wear are all examples of matter which are also creation of God. It’s really amazing
that we are using all of this God creations and with the help of Science we can understand how to
explain and use these creations into our own good. Everything in this world is created by God and our
role is to take good care of these and discover ways on how to use these matter in good different
ways. Hence, matter can be classified as to pure substance and mixture. The basis for this is based
on the internal composition of that matter. Using the figure below you can see the difference between
the two, most especially in terms of the position of the particles inside.

Matter can be classified into two: pure substance and mixture. Pure substance is a
pure homogenous material that is made up of only one kind of matter with definite and fixed
composition. Why study pure substance? Studying pure substance helps us to understand how to
utilize properties, design new kinds of matter and make desirable changes in everyday life. For
1
example, most of the drugs that we are using now have unpleasant side effects but because the
chemist continue to identify this side effects they are able to create a molecule that was mostly similar
with the drugs but fewer side effects. While, mixture is a combination of two or more elements and
compounds that retain their chemical identities and easy to separate. Why study mixture? One of the
favorite delicacy here in the Philippines is halo-halo which is one of its example. While eating this we
can easily identify the different ingredients like ice, monggo, banana, langka, beans, milk, leche plan
and ice cream which are easily separated and retain chemical identities just like mention above.
Below are some examples of pure substance and mixture.

 Lesson 2 Properties of Pure substance and Mixture

In lesson 1 you encounter some famous delicacies in the Philippines like kakanin and halo-halo
which is also consider as mixture because of its distinguishing components. Also, our famous dishes
like adobo, tinola, afritada and other dishes in the Philippines are also examples of mixtures. In the
Lesson 2, you are going to discover the different properties of pure substance and mixture using the
following experiments.
Experiment #1
Materials needed:

Glass of Water Pinch of sugar

Scissors

Chalk Aluminum foil

Procedures:

1. Examine carefully each of the following: water in a glass, sugar and salt on a plate and the
aluminum foil. How many phases is present in each pure substances?
2. Taste the pinch of salt. How does it taste? Do you expect the taste of salt to be always the
same?
3. Without adding anything in the water, drink the water. How does it taste? Do you expect the
taste of water to be always the same?
4. Get a piece of chalk put in a glass plate and crush it (you can also you mortar and pestle if
available). What can you say about the appearance of bits of chalk?
5. Get the aluminum foil and cut it into pieces. What can you say about the appearance of each
piece?
Remember!

Be careful in using scissors it may cut your skin.

Always keep your work area clean after use.

In the experiment that you have done you have observed that the materials above do have one
phase only. The salt always taste salty even you taste it many times. The water we drink always
appear odorless, colorless and tasteless. The chalk will stay color white even if turn into bits. As well
as the aluminum will stays the same appearance even if you cut it into pieces. What does this activity
imply? The experiment that you have done only implies that pure substances mostly homogeneous
3
in nature containing only one type of atoms or molecules. Also, these pure substances have constant
or uniform composition because even if we cut it or turn into pieces it has actually the same
characteristic.

Experiment #2
Materials needed
Water Stove

Pan
Thermometer

Procedure:

1. Turn on the stove and put the pan. Put one glass of water in the pan and let is boil.
2. When the water boil measure the temperature and write it in your notebook and label it
temperature 1.
3. Add another glass of water in the pan and let it boil again.
4. When the water boil measure the temperature again and write it in your notebook and label it
temperature 2.
5. What can you say about temperature1 and temperature 2?

Remember!

Be careful in using stove and boiling water it can cause burns in your skin.

Always keep your work area clean after use.

In the experiment you have done you just unlock other characteristic of pure substance.
You have observed that the boiling point of the water (which is a pure substance)in
temperature 1 and 2 is always 100 degree Celsius. This only implies that pure substances
have fixed boiling and melting points.

Experiment #3
Materials needed:
Salt Oil

Strainer

Rocks Spoon Soil

4
Glass of water

Procedure:

1. Put one tablespoon of salt into the glass of water and stir. Describe the appearance of the
mixture. How many phase is/are present in the mixture?
2. Can you still distinguish salt from water?
3. Put the oil into the glass of water and stir. Describe the appearance of the mixture. How many
phase is/are present in the mixture?
4. Can you still distinguish the water and oil?
5. Place your soil in a bowl and mix it with the rocks. Describe the appearance. How many phase
is present in the mixture?
6. Can you still distinguish soil from rock?
7. Put the mixture of rock and soil in the strainer and strain it. What is left in the strainer?

Remember!

Always keep your work area clean after use. Put the garbage in proper trash bin.

In the experiment that you have done you have observed that mixture is a combination of two
or more pure substances. It can have one or more phases depending in the substance being
mixed. When the salt is added to the water, the salt dissolve and turn the mixture into one phase.
While, when the oil is added to water it did not mix and turn the mixture into two phases. Lastly,
when rocks are added to the soil it also didn’t mix and form also two phases. When this mixture is
strain you have observed that rock is separated from soil and that process is called filtration.
Aside, from filtration other type of separation of mixtures are decantation, evaporation,
sublimation and distillation.

Activity #2
Write P if the statement below described pure substance and M if it describe Mixture.

1. As shown in the experiment water have definite boiling point of 100 degree Celsius.
2. Rock and soil mix together can be separated by filtration.
3. Sugar always taste sweet which make it homogeneous.
4. The oil and water are mix together but still retained its components.
5. Aluminum foil after cut into bits maintain its appearance because it is made up of only one
kind of matter.

Lesson 3 Classification of Pure substance and Mixture

5
 Matter can be classified into pure substance (elements and compounds) and mixture
(homogeneous and heterogeneous). Pure substance is a form of matter with definite composition
and made up of only one kind of matter.

a. Element is a pure substance that cannot be decomposed or transformed into chemical means
and also classified as the building blocks of all substances. Examples:
• Metals – Sodium (Na), Iron (Fe), Gold (Au), Silver (Ag)
• Non-metals – Oxygen (O), Carbon (C), Nitrogen (N), Fluorine (F)
• Metalloids -Boron (B), Silicon (Si), Arsenic (As), Antimony (Sb)
b. Compound is a pure substances of two or more elements that are chemically combined.
Examples: Water (𝐻2O), Sodium Chloride (NaCl), Carbon dioxide (C𝑂2)

Activity #3
Classify the following if it is element or compound.

Pure substances Element or Compound?

1. Potassium (K)
2. Sugar (𝐶2𝐻22𝑂11)
3. Hydrogen (H)
4. Neon (Ne)
5. Baking soda (NaHC𝑂3)

Mixture is combination of two or more substances in which the substances retain their
distinct identities.

a. Homogeneous mixture – the components of this mixture are evenly distributed throughout
but the components are cannot be distinguished from another.
• Solution- is homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances whose particles are
atomic size. (examples: salt solution, air, soft drink)
b. Heterogeneous mixture -the components of this mixture are not evenly distributed and the
components can be distinguished from one another.
• Suspension – is heterogeneous mixture which contain large particles that tend to
settle (examples: sand added to water, fog)
• Colloid – is heterogeneous mixture whose particles are larger that ions or molecules
in a solution but smaller than the particles forming suspension. (examples:
mayonnaise, paint, milk)
Activity #4
Classify the following if it is Homogenous or Heterogeneous mixture.

Mixture Homogeneous or Heterogeneous

1. Flour added to water
2. Orange juice without pulp
3. Muddy water
4. Tea
5. Lotion

QUARTER 1 – WEEK 6

Lesson 1 Properties of Saturated and Unsaturated Solutions

If you want to drink lemonade, what would you do? You mix some lemon in water and add sugar. To
make perfect lemonade you add 2 tablespoons of sugar. The sugar dissolves completely and
6
uniformly into the solution. At this point, you could add more sugar which could dissolve in the water.
Such solutions where most solute can be dissolved are called unsaturated solutions. Solutions which
is unable to dissolve any more solute is called a saturated solution, the lemonade made by you can
mix a certain amount of sugar. If you keep adding sugar it will not dissolve in water and settle at the
bottom of the container.

Direction: Answer the following activities.

Activity I - Saturation of a Solution
Objectives: After performing the activity, you should be able to:
a. Determine how much solid solute dissolves in a given volume of water.
b. Describe the appearance of saturated and unsaturated solution.
Materials Needed:
• clear glasses
• salt
• stirrer
• water
Procedure:
A. Unsaturated Solution
1. Fill the glass with water to about 1⁄2 full.
2. Dissolve in it a pinch of salt. This is called unsaturated solution.
3. Add a big crystal of salt and stir. Did it dissolve?
B. Saturated Solution
1. To the solution in A, add more salt until no more dissolves or more crystals are left at the bottom of
the solution.
2. Transfer half of the clear solution to the glass B. This is called a saturated solution.
3. Add a big crystal of salt in it and stir. Did the salt dissolve? Did it increase in size?
Questions:
1. Did the salt crystals added dissolve in the unsaturated solution? Why?

2. Did the salt crystals added dissolve or increase in size in the saturated solution? Why?

3. How would you test if a solution is saturated or unsaturated?

Activity 2 - What are the Evidences that Make a Solution Saturated?

Objectives: After performing this activity, you will be able to:
a. determine how much solid solute completely dissolves in a given volume water; and
b. describe the appearance of a saturated solution.
Materials Needed:
• 6 teaspoons sugar
• 1 measuring spoon (1/2 tsp. capacity)
• 1 cup of water
• 2 small clear, transparent bottles
• 1 measuring cup (1 cup capacity)
• 2 stirrers
• 1 thermometer
Procedure:
1. Put 20 ml (approximately 2 tablespoons) of water in a small clear transparent bottle.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and stir.
Question I: What is the appearance of the solutions? Write your observations.
_____________________________
2. To the sugar solution in Step No. 1 add 1/2 teaspoon sugar, a small portion at a time and stir the
solution to dissolve the sugar. At this point, you have added 1 teaspoon sugar.
3. Add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar to the sugar solution in Step No. 2 and stir the solution. At this point,
you have added one and 1/2 teaspoons of sugar.
4. Continue adding 1/2 teaspoon sugar to the same cup until the added sugar no longer dissolves.
Question II: How many teaspoons of sugar have you added until the sugar no longer dissolves?
_______________
7
Note: In this step, you will observe that there is already excess sugar which did not dissolve.
Question III: So, how many teaspoons of sugar dissolved completely in 20 ml of water?
______________
Note: This is now the maximum amount of sugar that will completely dissolve in 20 ml of

• Solutions are homogenous. The components are well mixed that all parts of the solution appear the
same. A solution has the same composition and properties throughout.
• A solution consists of two components called the solvent and the solute. The component present in
small amount is called the solute. The solvent is the component present in greater amount.
• Unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less solute than the maximum amount the solvent
can dissolve at a given temperature.
• Saturated solution is a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute dissolved by a given
amount of solvent.
