a pure substance has a fixed ____ and ____ point
boiling and melting
2 of 5
how do we know it something is a pure substance (find melting/boiling points)
heat solid until it's temperature stops rising (this is the melting point and because temp stops rising, its a fixed boiling point - solid now a liquid). liquid temp will start to rise again until it stops (this is boiling point - liquid now gas))
3 of 5
so if a substance melts/boils over a range of temperatures (temp doesn't stop rising, it just slows down as it melts/boils), its...
not pure
4 of 5
what's a formulation?
complex mixture designed as useful product. quantities been carefully measured to get properties desired (e.g paints, medicines, food, fertilisers, fuels, cleaning products)
