Mixtures and Separation Techniques

What is the process of separating a mixture by passing it through a material that retains some particles while allowing others to pass through?

• The process is called filtration.

• The process is called evaporation.

• The process is called condensation.

• The process is called distillation.

What separation technique involves heating a mixture to turn the liquid into vapor, then cooling the vapor to get the liquid back?

• Decantation

• Distillation

• Evaporation

• Filtration
