How can mixtures be separated
Mixtures can be separated by physical processes. These processes do not involve chemical reactions, and no new substances are made.
What is filtration used for?
Filtration is used to separate an insoluble solid from a liquid
How does does filtration work and what do you need to do it?
Filter paper and a 2 beakers
Filtration works because the filter paper has tiny holes or pores in it. These are large enough to let small molecules and dissolved ions through, but not the much larger particles of undissolved solid.
What is crystallisation used for?
used to produce solid crystals from a solution
What happens during crystallisation
When the solution is warmed, some of solvent evaporates leaving crystals behind
What is needed for crystallisation
A busen burner
Apparatus
Mesh sheet
Evaporation basen
Once most of the solution in the evaporation basem has evaprorated then cooled off a bit what do u do?
Dry the crystals using a warm oven or by patting them with filter paper.
If u don’t have them just store them in a warm dry place to let the crystals fully form
What is simple distillation used for?
It is used to separate a solvent from a solution. It is useful for producing pure water from seawater.
Why does simple distillation work?
because the dissolved solute has a much higher boiling point than the solvent. When the solution is heated, solvent vapour leaves the solution. It moves away and is cooled and condensed. The remaining solution becomes more concentrated as the amount of solvent in it decreases.
what happens during fractional distillation
a mixture of several substances, such as crude oil, is distilled and the evaporated components are collected as they condense at different temperatures.
Separated by there boiling points.
