Separating Mixtures
What is a Mixture?
Mixture: A mixture is a material
made up of two or more
different chemical substances
which can be separated by
physical method. There are 21
ways of physical methods in
separating a mixture. (Or) The
process of mixing or being
mixed.
A combination of different
things in which the component
elements are individually
distinct.
What is the process of decanting?
Decanting: is the process of separation
of liquid from solid and other
immiscible (non-mixing) liquids, by
removing the liquid layer at the top
from the layer of solid or liquid below.
Ex: To separate two liquids with
different densities, use decantation.
For instance, when water and oil are
combined, they split into two layers.
Because water is denser than oil, it
sinks to the bottom while oil floats
on top of it. A funnel can be used to
separate it as well.
What is the process
of Evaporation?
• There are 21 ways of physical
methods of separation such as
evaporation and filtration.
Evaporation: is the process in
which liquid water changes into
water vapor, a gaseous state. It
occurs when the water
molecules gain enough energy,
usually from heat, to overcome
the forces holding them
together in the liquid state and
escape into the atmosphere.
What is the process of Filtration?
