What are the ways of separating Mixture?a.) Filtrationb.) Centrifugec.) Decantingd.) Chromatographye.) Distillationf.) Density
Filtration can be used to separate an insoluble substance from a soluble substance Ex. Coffee grounds are separated by water through filtration
Centrifuge • A centrifuge is a tool used to separate matter of different densities. • The centrifuge spins rapidly. • Ex. Separation of solid matter in blood from the liquid portion.
Decant • To decant – pour the liquids off and leave the solids behind
Chromatography • Used to separate components of a solution • Ex. Paper chromatography separate black ink into the colored dyes it contains
Distillation • A method of separating substances that have different boiling points • Ex. Separating alcohol from water • Boiling pt of alcohol is 70 Celcius • Boiling pt of water is 100 Celcius
Density • Ratio of mass and volume
Evaporation can be used to separate a solute from the solvent in a solution
A magnet • Can be used to separate a magnetic substance from a non-magnetic substance
