SEPARATING MIXTURES (Techniques)

This method involves using of strainer or screen to separate the components of solid mixtures

• sieving

• floatatition

• using magnets

• handpicking

A mixture of metals and non-metals could be separated through a

• handpicking

• magnet

• evaporation

• distillation

Mixtures can be separated by just picking them out with the help of your hand.

• handpicking

• pickpockets

Floating mixtures in liquids can be separated through this method. You use spoon or spatula to do this.

• floatation

• handpicking

• sipping

• scooping

It is a process of removing a layer of liquid from which a denser or heavier, insoluble substance has settled.

It is a process of separating solid substances from a liquid through the use of a filter paper or any cloth that can be used as a filtering medium.

• evaporation

• decantation

• sieving

• filtration

It is a method of separating solid substances by density difference. When put into water, some substances will sink while others will float.

• picking

• scooping

• floatation

• distillation

It is a process of separating components of liquid mixtures through heating. As the volatile liquid (liquid that evaporates fast) vaporizes, its distillate is collected and cooled, and then condensed into a pure liquid.

It is actually a way of separating out a mixture of chemicals, which are in gas or liquid form, by letting them creep slowly past another substance, which is typically a liquid or solid.
