Separation Techniques

Separation Techniques

1. Physical methods

   • Mixture, uing a sieve, if not chemically bonded
   • Filtration, using. a conical flask and filter paper
     • Residue is what is left behind in the filter paper, filtrate is what went through

2. Evaporation, with solutions, using a Bunsen burner to heat the solvent and the solute is left behind in the evaporation basin

3. Keywords

   • Miscible~substance that can be mixed
   • Immiscible~substance that cannot be mixed
   • Solute~solid substance being dissolved
   • Solvent~liquid dissolving the solute
   • Mixture~2 or more types of elements or compounds that are not chemically bonded together
   • Saturation~how much of the solute the solvent can "hold"
   • Pure~substance with only one type of element or compound
   • Impure~substance with 2 or more types of elements or compounds
