Separating Mixtures

Separating Mixtures

1. MATERIALS

   • WATER(Boiling point= 100 celsius)
   • ALCOHOL(Boiling point= ~78°C)
   • AgCl(white precipitate from LAB 2.25
   • Pebbles
   • NICKEL(Metallic element)
   • Styrofoam beads

2. PROCEDURE:

   • 1. using manual separation we can remove the pebbles, nickels and styrofoam beads from the mixture
     • because the substances are big enough we can use manual separation
       • -
   • 2.because AgCl cannot be dissolved in water we can use filtration for separating the Agcl from the alcohol, and water
   • AgCl is a white precipitate meaning that it is a insoluble material so the AgCl substance cannot be dissolved in water
   • apply filtration:
     • =
   • 3.now we are left with the mixture of alcohol and water. in orr for them to be separated we can use fractional distillation
     • fractional distillation is used when you want to separate two miscible liquids
     • apply fractional distillation:
       • =
     • is now separated from:
