Methods for Separating Mixtures

Methods for Separating Mixtures

1. Homogeneous

   • Its a substance where you cant know exactly what is contains, because the components are everywhere or are like disturbed
     • Destillation
       • Destillation is a process where you heat a liquid until it boils
     • Filtration
       • Filtration is a process where you separate solid materials from liquids
     • Magnetism
       • Magnetism is a movement from a electric charge that makes magnetic fields
     • Crystallization
       • Crystallization is a process where you make a liquid solution to a solid crystalline material

2. Heterogeneous

   • Its a substance that you can see all what ist contains or the components it have. It can have 2 or more ingriedents
     • Solubility
       • Its to make something dissolve to a solvent product
     • Extraction
       • Extraction is separating a substance that can dissolve in two solvents that are not miscible with each other
     • Decantation
       • It is making a solid and liquid or two immiscible liquids to settle and separate by gravity
     • Chromatography
       • Its a process where you separate components from a mixture whit some phases and speed
