Question: A scientist has mixed two liquids together and wants to figure out if the mixture is a pure substance or a mixture. How can they find out? Clues: • A mixture is made up of two or more substances that are physically combined and can be separated by physical means. • A pure substance has a definite melting and boiling point and a mixture does not. In pairs: Select and solve one of the tasks: A. Design an experiment to determine if the mixture is a pure substance or a mixture. B. Describe how you would separate the mixture into its individual substances.
