SEPARATION METHODS FOR MIXTURES

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.

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

• EVAPORATIONSeparation of a liquid and a soluble solid.

MAGNETISM

A magnetically susceptible material is extracted from a mixture using a magnetic force.
