Impurity
An impurity is a substance,
usually unwanted, which is

could make it unsafe for the
patient.
Mixtures
A mixture is two or more
substances that are not
chemically bonded
together. These substances
can be elements,
compounds, or both.
Melting Point
Pure substances have
sharp melting points (e.g.
87 degrees C) whilst
mixtures melt over a wider
temperature range (e.g. 86-
89 degrees C).
Review Questions
Explain what an
impurity is, in
relation to a pure
substance.
How is the melting
point different for
a pure substance
compared to a
mixture?
Define the term
‘pure’ in relation to
a chemical.
Review Answers

quantity of
something in an
otherwise pure
