Question

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 0 112 C for liquid B.
How would you classify the two liquids?
Answer: Liquid A is__________
Liquid B is____________​

Answer 1

Answer:

Liquid A is a pure substance while liquid B is a mixture. Differences in their boiling point indicates that mixtures have higher boiling points compared to pure substances

Answer 2

The chemical properties of the substance can be determined during a chemical reaction in this case the boiling points of the liquid.

• Liquid A has a boiling point of 100° C, it is a pure substance as it is having a definite boiling point
• Liquid B has a boiling point ranging from 110°C to 112°C can be termed as a mixture due to its range in the boiling point.

Thus, the answer is Liquid A is Pure Substance

Liquid B is a Mixture.
