LO: To be familiar with the difference between a mixture and a pure substance.
Learning objective:
To be familiar with the difference between a mixture and a pure substance.

Steps to success

I can describe what mixtures are.

I can recognise that various combinations of

solids, liquids and gases can be mixed
together.

I can explain how the properties of a mixture

depend on the proportions of its component.

 What are mixtures?
Mixture is a substance that is made by a combination of two or more components, which can be easy to
separate.

LO: To be familiar with the difference between a mixture and a pure substance.
 Examples of mixtures
The ground that you stand on, the air that you breathe and the oceans of the Earth are all mixtures.

Ocean water is a mixture of pure water, salt and Air is a mixture of many gases, including nitrogen,
many other substances. oxygen and carbon dioxide.

 Pure substance
A pure substance a form of matter that cannot easily be separated into its components

LO: To be familiar with the difference between a mixture and a pure substance.
 Examples of pure substances

Distilled water is referred to as a pure The gas in oxygen tank is referred to as a pure
substance because it only contains water. substance because it only contains Oxygen

 Mixing solids, liquids and gases
Mixtures can be made from any combination of solids, liquids and gases.

The "particles" in a mixture might be solid fragments, liquid droplets or gas bubbles.

 Mixing solids, liquids and gases
Mixing these different components together can produce substances with new properties.

E.g. Vitamin C tablet (solid) placed in water (liquid) provides a change in physical properties (colour)

Sugar/sand and water mixture demonstration
Watch carefully and describe what happens when sugar is added to water.

LO: To be familiar with the difference between a mixture and a pure substance.
 Dissolve
Dissolve - A substance that breaks up into tiny particles that are too small to see.

e.g. Sugar and salt added to water dissolves.

LO: To be familiar with the difference between a mixture and a pure substance.
 Soluble and insoluble
A substance that dissolves is said to be soluble. A substance that does not dissolves is said to be
insoluble.

e.g. Sugar is soluble e.g. Sand is insoluble.

LO: To be familiar with the difference between a mixture and a pure substance.
 Solute and solvent
Solute- the substance that gets dissolves. Solvent- the substance that dissolves the other
substance.

e.g. Sugar is solute because it get dissolves e.g. Water is the solvent because it dissolves the sugar.

LO: To be familiar with the difference between a mixture and a pure substance.
 Solution and solute
Solution is when a substance dissolve in another, forming a clear mixture.

E.g. When you stir sugar or salt into water, you make a sugar or salt solution.

LO: To be familiar with the difference between a mixture and a pure substance.
 Solution
A method to tell whether a mixture is a solution or not is by shining light through it.
If light passes easily though it, you know that a solution is formed.

Solutions are transparent (allows light to pass through it).

 Activity
Your task: complete the Activity worksheet page 3-4 on solutes, solvents and solutions.

LO: To be familiar with the difference between a mixture and a pure substance.
 Practical
Your task: Complete the handout worksheet to test whether breaking up a solute into smaller particles can
change how fast it dissolves.
