Sequence in Separating Mixtures

1. Mixture of Water, Alcohol, AgCl, Pebbles, Nickel and Styrofoam Beads

   • Floatation * Styrofoam Beads are floating
     • Separate the Styrofoam Beads from the mixture
     • Residue of Water, Alcohol, AgCl, Pebbles and Nickel
       • Mechanical Separation * Pebbles settle at the bottom of the mixture
         • Separate the Pebbles from the mixture
         • Residue of Water, Alcohol, AgCl and Nickel
           • Magnetic Separation * Collecting the Nickel, a ferromagnetic metal, with a magnet
             • Separate the Nickel from the mixture
             • Residue of Water, Alcohol and AgCl
               • Filtration * Separating the AgCl, an insoluble solid, and the mixture of Water and Alcohol with a Filter
                 • Separate the AgCl from the mixture
                 • Residue of Water and Alcohol
                   • Fractional Distillation * Separating the Water from Alcohol due to different Boiling Points
                     • Separate the Alcohol first
                     • Leaving the Water in the original vessel
