 Module 5 Substance and Mixtures

Most Essential Learning Competencies

Distinguish mixtures from substances based on a set of properties. (S7MT–le–f4)

What’s In
You are aware that the world where we live in consists of enormous variety of
substances. Because there is such a huge variety of these things, making sense out
of it seems impossible. The natural desire of man is to make things simpler. Man
tries to find the basic unity behind the wide variety of matter in the surroundings.
Many things around you are mixtures. Some are solid like brass and rocks, or
liquid like seawater and fruit juices, or gas like air. Mixtures contain two or more
components. These components may vary in size. The variation in size may tell
whether a mixture is homogeneous or heterogeneous.
In this module, you are expected to distinguish unknown materials as mixtures
or substances, their differences and similarities based on a given set of properties.

Matter
You may have asked the question, “What is the thing called matter?” Look
around you. Everything you see is matter. Matter is a stuff that you touch and feel,
taste, and smell in your daily contact with your surroundings. Matter can be described
as anything that occupies space and has mass.

Classification of Matter:

 Matter is classified into two major categories: Substances and Mixtures.

 Pure Substance is a form of matter that cannot be separated into two
different species by any physical means. It has definite physical and chemical
properties. It can either be an element or a compound.
 Elements are the simplest form of matter which is made up of only one kind of
atom.
 Compound is formed when two or more different elements are chemically
combined in definite proportions.
 Mixtures are made up of two or more substances that are physically
combined. They are either homogeneous or heterogeneous depending on the
size of the components present on them.

3
  A homogeneous mixture is a type of mixture in which the composition is
uniform, and every part of the solution has the same properties.
 A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture of two or more chemical substances
where various components could be visually distinguished.
 During boiling, the temperature of a substance changes at the start then it
becomes the same; while the temperature of a mixture is different at different
times.
 During melting, a substance melts completely/smoothly within a short time;
while mixtures have a portion that seems to be not melting.

Module 6 Solutions

Most Essential Learning Competencies

Investigate properties of unsaturated or saturated solutions. (S7MT-Ic-2)

What’s In

Solution

Solution, suspensions, and colloids are types of mixtures. They mainly differ in
the size of the dispersed particles. The liquid substance that makes up the bulk of the
solution is called solvent. The other substances, which are dissolved in the solvent,
are called solutes. Solutes may be solids, liquids, or gases before they are dissolved
in the solvent. The most common solvent is water, and most solutions are made from
water.

9
 A solution is formed when a solute dissolve in a solvent to form a single phase
that appears uniform throughout. A solution is often clear and transparent. In a
solution, the solute cannot be separated from the solvent through filtration because
the particles are too small and pass through a filter.

There are solutions that can contain more than one solute, like the ocean.
Some combinations easily form the solutions, but other combinations do not. A
substance that dissolves readily in a solvent is soluble. Salt and sugar easily
dissolve in water. A substance that does not dissolve in a solvent is insoluble. Sand
is insoluble in water. Oil is insoluble in vinegar. Oil and vinegar are immiscible.
Those liquids that can be mixed with each other are said to be miscible.

Concentrations of Solutions

Another way to describe a solution is to express how much solute is present

relative to the maximum amount the solution can hold. If the amount of solute
dissolved is less than the maximum amount that can be dissolved, the solution is
unsaturated. If the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved in a solvent at a
given temperature, until it is unable to dissolve anymore, leaving the undissolved
substances at the bottom, then the solution is said to be saturated. A solution that
contains more solute than the maximum amount it can hold at a given temperature is
said to be supersaturated.

Factors Affecting Solubility

There is a limit to solubility no matter how fast a thing dissolve. Solubility of a

solute changes when conditions change.

Pressure

Pressure affects the solubility of gases. Increasing the pressure increases the
amount of gas that can be dissolved in a liquid. When a bottle of soft drink is
unopened, you cannot observe bubbles of carbon dioxide in the bottle because the
pressure inside the bottle allows the carbon dioxide to remain in the liquid. Opening
the bottle or can of soft drink releases the pressure causing carbon dioxide to quickly
fizz out of the liquid.

Temperature

Temperature has varied effects on substances. For solids and liquids,

solubility increases with every increase in temperature; but for gases, the solubility

11
decreases with increasing temperature. This property of gas causes our concern for
the fish populations of lakes, rivers, and oceans are threatened with heat population.
Fish needs dissolved oxygen to survive. If the temperature of the water increases,
the concentration of dissolved oxygen decreases, and the survival of the fish is
endangered.

Nature of Solute and Solvent

“Like dissolves like” is a basic rule that chemists follow. It means that a solvent
can dissolve a solute or substance whose nature is like it. For example, a polar
solvent can dissolve a polar solute. A polar molecule has positive and negative ends.
Since water is a polar molecule, it can dissolve a polar molecule like table salt. The
positive and negative ends of a polar solute and a polar solvent interact making the

12
dissolution process possible. A nonpolar molecule like oil can only be dissolved by a
nonpolar solvent like gasoline.

Particle Size

Grinding the solid into smaller pieces is one way of increasing the rate of
dissolution of a solid in a liquid. When you crush the large solid into smaller pieces,
you are increasing the surface area of the solute exposed to the solvent. The
dissolving process takes place at the surface of the solid. On a large chunk of solid,
only the particle on the surface meets the solvent. But when you crush or grind the
solid, more particles are exposed to the solvent, so the dissolving process happens
faster. The smaller the particles are, the faster the solvent can get to more of the
solute. Thus, the rate of dissolution increases as you increase the surface area of the
solute exposed to the solvent.

Stirring

Put a tablespoon of coffee to a glass of water without stirring, it will take time
for the coffee to dissolve completely. This is because the coffee molecules at the
bottom of the cup are surrounded by undissolved coffee molecules. Mixing or stirring
the solution speeds up the dissolving process because stirring moves the
undissolved coffee and brings more water molecules in contact with. The rapid
motion of water particles causes them to interact with the solid particles resulting in
faster dissolution.

Reference: Laurente, et al. Science for the 21st Century Learner Grade 7.
 Solubility is the measure of the volume of solute that can dissolve in a solvent.
Solubility is dependent on the solvent. Salt dissolves in water, for instance, but not in
oil. With an increase temperature, the solubility of solids in water typically increases.
In hot water, for example you can dissolve more sugar than in cold water. Solubility
often depends on pressure, but it is less of a determining factor, and in daily
calculations it is mostly ignored. Since solubility depends on temperature, an
unsaturated solution at higher temperatures can become even supersaturated at
lower temperatures. Scientists and cooks commonly use heat to prepare unsaturated
solutions when the solute does not dissolve entirely at a lower temperature.

 What I Can Do

Nuclear power plants require large amounts

of water to generate steam for the turbines and to
cool the equipment. They will usually be situated
near bodies of water to use that water as a coolant,
returning the warmer water back to the lake or river.
This increases the overall temperature of the water,
which lower the quantity of dissolved oxygen,
affecting the survival of fish and other organism.

Module 7 Concentration of Solution

Most Essential Learning Competencies

Express concentrations of solutions quantitatively by preparing different

concentrations of mixtures according to uses and availability of materials. (S7MT-1d-
3)

19
 What’s In

Concentration of Solutions

The concentration of solution describes a relative measurement of the

amount of solute that has been dissolved in a given amount of solvent or solution.
When there is a large amount of dissolved solute for a certain volume of solvent, the
solution is concentrated. Concentrated solutions can be prepared by adding more
solute and keeping the amount of solvent the same or keeping the amount of solute
the same and reducing the amount of solvent, while a dilute solution has a small
amount of dissolved solute in comparison to the amount of solvent.
To be able to define a solution precisely, it is needed to state its concentration:
how much solute is dissolved in a certain amount of solvent. The terms
"concentrated" and "dilute" are mostly used to provide qualitative methods of
describing concentration.
Although qualitative observations are very important and necessary, it has
also been seen throughout the study that there is a definite need for quantitative
measurements in science. This is particularly true in describing the concentration of
solution quantitatively.
There are several ways, on how to express the concentration of a solution by
using a percentage; the percent by mass or the percent by volume.

1. Percent by Mass

When the solute in a solution is a solid, a convenient way to express the

concentration is a mass percent, which is the gram of solute per 100 g of solution.
Mass percentage of a solution is a method used to express the concentration of
the amount of a component (solute) present in each quantity of solution. Mass
percent is also known as percent by weight.
The mass/mass percent (% m/m) is expressed/calculated as the mass of a
solute divided by the mass of a solution times 100.
mass of solute
Percent by Mass= x 100 %
mass of solution
Let’s try to apply this formula in the sample problems.

Sample Problem 1:

20
 Suppose that a solution was prepared by dissolving 50.0 g of sugar into 450 g.
of water. Calculate the mass percent of sugar in the solution.
Step 1: Identify the given.
Given: mass of solute = 50 g of sugar
mass of solvent = 450 g water
Percent by Mass = ?

Step 2: Write the formula.

Formula:
mass solute
Percent by Mass= x 100 %
mass of solution

Step 3: Substitute the given then compute.

50 g sugar
Percent by Mass= x 100 %
50 g sugar + 450 g water
50 g sugar
¿ x 100 %
50 g sugar +450 g water
50 g sugar
¿ x 100 %
500 g solution
¿ 0.1 x 100 %
Step 4: Write and box the final answer. (Make sure to write the correct unit.)

Percent by Mass = 10%

Sample Problem 2:
What is the percent by mass of NaHCO 3 in a solution containing 20 g NaHCO 3
dissolved in 600 g of water?
Step 1: Identify the given.

21
 Given: mass of solute = 20 g of NaHCO3
mass of solvent = 600 g water
Percent by Mass = ?

Step 2: Write the formula.

Formula:
mass solute
Percent by Mass= x 100 %
mass of solution
Step 3: Substitute the given then compute.

20 g NaHCO 3
Percent by Mass= x 100 %
20 g NaHCO 3+600 g water
20 g NaHCO 3
¿ x 100 %
620 g solution
¿ 0.032 x 100 %
Step 4: Write and box the final answer. (Make sure to write the correct unit.)

Percent by Mass = 3.22 or 3.23%

2. Percent by Volume
The percent by volume is often used when preparing solutions of liquids.
The volume of the solute is divided by the volume of the solution and then
multiplied by 100%.
volume of solute
Percent by Volume= x 100 %
volume of solution

Sample Problem 1:
What is the percent by volume of vinegar in a solution that contains 2.5 ml of
acetic acid dissolved in 47.5 ml water?

Step 1: Identify the given.

Given: volume of solute = 2.5 ml acetic acid
22
 volume of solvent = 47.5 ml water
Percent by Volume = ?
Step 2: Write the formula.
Formula:
volume of solute
Percent by Volume= x 100 %
volume of solution
Step 3: Substitute the given then compute.

2.5 ml acetic acid

Percent by Volume= x 100 %
2.5 ml acetic acid+47.5 ml water
2.5 ml acetic acid
¿ x 100 %
50 ml water
2.5 ml acetic acid
¿ x 100 %
50 ml water
¿ 0.05 x 100 %
Step 4: Write and box the final answer. (Make sure to write the correct unit.)

Percent by Volume = 5%

Sample Problem 2:
What is the percent by volume of ethanol in a solution that contains 45 ml of
ethanol dissolved in 125 ml of water?
Step 1: Identify the given.
Given: volume of solute = 45 ml ethanol
volume of solvent = 125 ml water
Percent by Volume = ?

Step 2: Write the formula.

Formula:
volume of solute
Percent by Volume= x 100 %
volume of solution
Step 3: Substitute the given then compute.

45 ml ethanol
Percent by Volume= x 100 %
45 ml ethanol+125 ml water
23
 45 ml ethanol
¿ x 100 %
170ml solution

¿ 0.2647 x 100 %

Step 4: Write and box the final answer. (Make sure to write the correct unit.)

Percent by Volume = 26.47%

Remember:
solution = solute + solvent
1 ml of water = 1 gram

What I Have Learned

1. The concentration of a solution is a measure of the amount of solute that

has been dissolved in a given amount of solvent or solution. The terms
dilute and concentrated are mostly used to provide qualitative methods of

 describing concentration. You can describe the concentrations of solutions
qualitatively by simply observing their color and appearance.
2. A concentrated solution is one that has a relatively large amount of
dissolved solute.
3. A dilute solution is one that has a relatively small amount of dissolved
solute.
4. Mass Percentage of a solution is a method to express the concentration or
the amount of a component present in a given quantity of solution.
5. The mass percentage of a component in a solution is defined as the mass
of solute present per 100 grams of solution.
6. Percent by mass can be calculated using the formula:
mass of solute
Percent by Mass= x 100 %
mass of solution

7. Percent by volume is used to describe solutions wherein the solute ans

solvent are both in liquid forms.
8. Percent by volume can be calculated using the formula:

volume of solute
Percent by Volume= x 100 %
volume of solution

What I Can Do
It’s time for you to apply what you have learned in this lesson. Try to make a
list of different solutions that may be found in your home. Record the concentration of
each product and then analyze which of these contains high concentration of harmful
components. Decide with the help of your parents as to where are these products
should be placed and stored safely.
