What I Need to Know
Hello? How are you today? Are you ready for another round of learning? In
this module, before you will distinguish mixtures from substances based on a set of
properties, you will explore the pure substances first.
For example, look around you. Can you tell whether these matter found in
your environment or even at your home are pure substances such as the air you
smell and breathe, the food you eat, the water you drink and the other things you
see, hear and feel? It is for you to find out with the help of this module.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. Define pure substance;
2. Describe pure substance based on a set of properties; and
3. Relate the importance of pure substance in real – life situations
What I Know
Directions: Read each item carefully. Write only the letter of the correct answer for
each question. Use a separate sheet for your answers.

What’s New
Activity No. 1
Let us proceed with the new lesson to be presented through a poem. You’ve
got what it takes to be a conqueror if you read carefully this poem and discover the
differences between substances and mixtures. The poem is entitled, “I am
Substance, I am Mixture.” (Note: This poem was composed exclusively for ADM
module)
I am Substance, I am Mixture
By Wilfredo D. Bartolo, Jr.
How are you feeling so far? Did you find the poem interesting and effective
learning resource? If your answer is a big yes, let us find out!
To find out if the poem really helped you to discover and understand some of
the important concepts of the lesson; you will be asked to answer the following
questions below.
Guide Questions:
1. What is a pure substance?
2. What are the properties of pure substances?
3. Tabulate your answers about pure substances.

Chef Matt and his assistant observed two solid samples: Solid A and Solid B.
Both substances are white crystalline powder. They cannot determine which is a
substance and mixture just by looking at it. So, to distinguish which is which, they
heated the two samples using an improvised melting dish. Both the two samples
were heated at the same time and received an equal amount of heat. After a few
minutes, they had observed that Solid A melts completely within a short period of
time; while Solid B has portions that seem to be not melting.
To find out if you have understood the important concepts of the lesson,
answer the following questions below.
Here is another Enrichment Activity for you. Read the paragraph below and
answer the questions that follow.
A
Joseph wants to compare the chemical properties of two substances. In
doing it, he prepared two flasks containing the substances and labeled them Liquid
A and Liquid B. He monitored the boiling points of the liquids and found that the
boiling points were 100˚C for substance A and 110˚C - 112˚C for liquid B. How
would you classify the two liquids?
B
A student tests the melting point of a certain sample of potassium
alum/tawas. It starts melting at 91˚C and melts completely until the temperature is
92.5˚C. According to a data book, the melting point of potassium alum is 92.5˚C.
