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.

3
SEPARATION METHODS FOR MIXTURES

• CRYSTALLIZATION
• Slow formation of a solid from a warm solution
  that is cooled. Depends on the solubility.

4
DISTILLATION

• Boil off and condense the more volatile component
  in a liquid mixture. Depends on volatility.

5
SEPARATION METHODS FOR MIXTURES

• DECANTING
• Used to separate a liquid from an insoluble
  solid. The solid stays in the bottom.

6
CHROMATOGRAPHY

• Involves the separation of different dissolved
  substances as they travel through a material

7
SEPARATION METHODS FOR MIXTURES

• CENTRIFUGATION
• Involves the use of the centrifugal force. More
  dense components migrate away. Solid particles
  remain on the bottom.

8
SEPARATION METHODS FOR MIXTURES

• EVAPORATION
• Separation of a liquid and a soluble solid.

9
MAGNETISM

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