About separating mixtures slides
GoConqr OriginalWhat the Separating Mixtures slides cover
These user-made slide sets look at mixtures through several methods. Separating a Mixture describes paper chromatography, while Separation discusses the phases involved. Other slides cover crystallisation, filtration and separating salt from sand. Gas chromatography offers a closer look at that technique and its instrumentation.
How to use the slides
For a starting point, try Separating a Mixture: its paper chromatography example gives you a sequence to follow. Read through the steps, then see if you can describe them without looking. Compare that example with the slides on experimental techniques, which also discuss paper chromatography.
Next, choose a different method and note how it separates the mixture. If you want to check your recall, switch to a quiz or flashcards on the Separating Mixtures unit page. To organise methods side by side, use a mind map. Choose a slide set and work through it at your own pace.
Frequently asked questions
Which slide set is a useful place to start?
Separating a Mixture is a useful starting point if you want to follow a paper chromatography example. It describes placing an ink spot on paper and putting the paper into a beaker with solvent. You can then compare it with the slides on experimental techniques.
What separation methods do the slides cover?
The slide sets cover paper and gas chromatography, crystallisation and filtration, among other topics. The slides on water describe separating salt from sand, while another set considers using a magnet to remove nickel from a mixture. You can browse by the method you want to practise.
Are these slides free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open and study without an account. The slides were made by GoConqr users. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
