SEPARATION METHODS FOR MIXTURES
The key is to find a property that one part of the mixture does have but the other doesn't. This relies on their physical properties. FILTERING Pour a mixture (solid and liquid), through a filter paper. Depends on the solubility.
SEPARATION METHODS FOR MIXTURES CRYSTALLIZATION Slow formation of a solid from a warm solution that is cooled. Depends on the solubility.
DISTILLATION Boil off and condense the more volatile component in a liquid mixture. Depends on volatility.
SEPARATION METHODS FOR MIXTURES DECANTING Used to separate a liquid from an insoluble solid. The solid stays in the bottom.
CHROMATOGRAPHY Involves the separation of different dissolved substances as they travel through a material
SEPARATION METHODS FOR MIXTURES CENTRIFUGATION Involves the use of the centrifugal force. More dense components migrate away. Solid particles remain on the bottom.
SEPARATION METHODS FOR MIXTURES EVAPORATION Separation of a liquid and a soluble solid.
MAGNETISM A magnetically susceptible material is extracted from a mixture using a magnetic force.
