Identify at least 5 pure substance found in nature, in the supermarket, grocery storeand even at your home. use the table below to explain your answer based on appearance, separating technique, boiling and melting point.

Explanation:

1) Pure substance: Water (found at home)

Appearance: It is homogeneous since it is a single substance that appears as liquid. Homogeneous is when the components of a substance are in a single phase

Separating technique: It's component cannot be separated by physical means

Boiling point: Water boils at 100 °C

Melting point: Water melts/freezes at 0°C

2) Pure substance: Table salt (found at home)

Appearance: It is also homogeneous as it is a single substance that is solid. Separating technique: It's component cannot be separated by physical means

Boiling point: Water boils at 1,465 °C

Melting point: Water melts/freezes at 801 °C

3) Pure substance: Butter (found at home and grocery store)

Appearance: It is homogeneous even though it contains different components

Separating technique: It's component can be separated by physical means since butter is an emulsion of fat in water. The 15% water content can be evaporated/distilled out at 100 °C

Boiling point: Butter starts boiling at about 110-120 °C

Melting point: It melts at about 37 °C

4) Pure substance: Candle (wax) (found at home and grocery store)

Appearance: It is homogeneous

Separating technique: It's component cannot be separated by physical means

Boiling point: It starts boiling around 370 °C

Melting point: It melts at about 37 °C

5) Pure substance: table sugar/sucrose (found at home, grocery stores and in supermarkets)

Appearance: It is homogeneous

Separating technique: It's component cannot be separated by physical means

Boiling point: It starts boiling around 697 °C

Melting point: It melts at about 186 °C
