Quarter 1 – Module 14
Comparing the Boiling Point of
Mixtures and Pure Substances

Distinguish mixtures from substances

based on a set of properties
(S7MT-Ie-f-4)
 At the end of the
module, you should be
able to:

• Differentiate the boiling point

of mixture and pure substance.
• State the difference in boiling
point of mixtures and pure
substances through a graphic
organizer.
Directions: Give what is asked or
described in each item by
writing the letter of the correct
answer.

1. Which among the choices below

will boil at a constant
temperature?
a. Salt solution
b. Distilled water
c. Calamansi Juice
d. Detergent solution
2. Which among the choices
below will boil at a changing
temperature?
a. Mercury
b. Seawater
c. Pure ethanol
d. Distilled water
3. Water boils at 100°C and pure ethanol at
78°C. Which of the statements is/are TRUE
about water and ethanol?
I. Water and ethanol are pure substance.
II. Water and ethanol can be boiled at
either 100°C or 78°C.
III. Water and ethanol have specific
temperatures which they would start to boil.
IV. Water and ethanol can be identified
according to the temperature at which they
boil.

a. I only
b. I, II, & IV
c. III only
d. I, III & IV
 For questions 4 to 5, refer to the graph
below.

4. Which graph shows the trend of boiling point for a pure

substance?
5. Which graph shows the trend of boiling point for a mixture?

Figure 1. Beaker with brine solution Figure 2. Beaker with water

Can you tell which of the two is a mixture or a pure substance?

Why or why not?
 Explore

• Directions: The graphs below show the data

of the boiling point of a given pure
substance and mixture. Describe the data of
each graph by answering the given guide
questions.
 Guide questions:

• 1. At what point did the data of each graph started?

• 2. Describe the graph of the boiling point of pure substances
• 3. Describe the graph of the boiling point of a mixture
 Explain
• At what time did the pure
substance started to boil?
• How about the mixture?
• Base on the given graph what
difference/s can you see?
• How about similarities?
ELABORATE
At what time did the pure
substance starts to boil?
After its boiling point what
happened to the temperature?
Why?

pure substances display a consistent boiling

point.

This is shown as a horizontal flat line in

Figure 5 where the temperature does not
change over time until all the pure
substance has boiled then eventually
evaporates.
 At what time did the mixture starts to
boil?
After its boiling point what happened
to the temperature? Why?

mixtures do not display a

consistent boiling point, they boil
over a range of temperatures
depending on its composition.

Notice that there is no horizontal flat

line which indicates that the
temperature remains constant over
time. Instead, there will be a slope or
diagonal line indicating that the boiling
point of the mixture changes to a higher
temperature. A mixture will display the
properties of the pure substances it is
made of.
 Conclusion??

• The boiling point of pure

substances stays the same
while the boiling point of the
mixture is changing
