Simple explanation

A pure substance has a sharp melting or boiling point.

Analogy or example

Paint is a formulation because its ingredients are mixed in specific amounts.

Misconception trap

Pure means safe or natural in chemistry.

Real-world relevance

Purity and formulations links classroom reactions to materials, energy, resources and everyday products.

Vocabulary check

purity, formulations, pure, substance, sharp

Paper 2

Gas tests

Simple explanation

Hydrogen gives a squeaky pop with a lit splint.

Analogy or example

A gas that turns limewater cloudy is carbon dioxide.

Misconception trap

All gases can be identified by smell.

Real-world relevance

Gas tests links classroom reactions to materials, energy, resources and everyday products.

Vocabulary check

tests, hydrogen, gives, squeaky, splint

Paper 2
