Separation Methods of Mixtures

Separation Methods of Mixtures

1. A MIXTURE is made of two or ore substances that are together in the same place, but their atoms are not chemically bonded

   • There are two type of mixtures
     • Heterogeneous
       • In a heterogeneous mixtures you can usually see the different parts and they can easily be separated out
     • Homogeneous
       • The substances incolved in a homogeneous mixture, are so evenly mixed that you can´t see the different parts
   • Since the substances in a mixture keep their properties, you can use those properties to separate a mixture into its parts
     • Methods used to separate the parts of a mixture, including
       • Distillation, evaporation, filtration, and magnetic attraction

2. Matter

   • Mixtures
     • Homogeneous
     • Heterogeneous
   • Substances
     • Elements
     • Compounds
     • Chemically separated
   • Physically separated
