| So how can you test for Impure substances? | -You simply find its designated melting point and boiling point and compare it with your substance.
-If the melting point is too low, its impure. If the boiling point is to high, its impure.
-If its the same, Its Pure |
| How else can you tell if its Impure. | -You can heat the solid/liquid up.
-If the substance is impure, their will be different components with different melting/boiling temperatures.
-Part of the mixture will boil/melt while the other part will stay in its original state for longer. |
