Sequence of Separating Mixtures

1. Mixture: *Water *Alcohol *AgCl *Pebble *Nickel *Styrofoam beads

   • Extract the Nickel from the mixture.
     • Use a magnet to extract the nickel.
       • Nickel extracted.
       • Mixture: *Water *Alcohol *AgCl *Pebble *Styrofoam beads
         • Extract the Styrofoam beads.
           • Use a tweezer to extract the styrofoam beads from the mixture.
             • Styrofoam beads extracted.
             • Mixture: *Water *Alcohol *AgCl *Pebble
               • Separate the AgCl and Pebbles from the mixture.
                 • Pour the mixture in the beaker through a filter funnel lined with filter paper. The residue are the Pebbles and AgCl and the filtrate is the mixture of Water and Alcohol.
                   • Mixture: *AgCl *Pebble
                     • Separate the Pebbles from AgCl.
                       • Using a tweezer or gloves picked-up the Pebbles from the beaker. What will remain in the filter is the AgCl.
                         • Pebbles extracted.
                         • AgCl extracted.
                   • Mixture: *Water *Alcohol
                     • Extract the Alcohol from Water.
                       • Using the Distillation Process: Put the Water and Alcohol mixture into the distillation apparatus and start boiling. Since the Alcohol boiling point is lower than water the Alcohol evaporates into steam and transferred to another container.
                         • When the temperature hits 95 degree celsius stop the boiling process. What will remain in the distillation apparatus is pure water and the alcohol is transferred to another container.
                           • Alcohol extracted.
                           • Water separated.
