Separating Mixtures

A method of separation in which a machine spins at high speeds to separate substance by their densities.

• Distillation

• Centrifugation

• Chromatography

• Magnetism

A method to separate metals from nonmetals in a mixture.

• Filtration

• Distillation

• Magnetism

• Centrifugation

The method of separating a solid from a liquid by turning the liquid into a gas.

• Evaporation

• Filtration

• Centrifugation

• Chromatography

The method uses to separate a solid from a liquid or a gas by passing them through a device that is too small to let the solid particles through.

• Evaporation

• Distillation

• Filtration

• Centrifugation

The method of separating mixtures that where a liquid or gas passes through the particles. The particle separate in layers based on their speed of travel.

• Chromatography

• Centrifugation
