What Students can use to distinguish pure substances?

Students can distinguish pure substances from mixtures by observing their physical properties, such as melting points, boiling points, and solubility. Pure substances have specific and consistent properties, while mixtures may exhibit a range of properties. Additionally, techniques like chromatography or filtration can be used to separate components in a mixture, confirming the purity of a substance. Conducting tests for chemical reactivity can also help identify pure substances versus mixtures.
