    NOTES CLASS 6 CHA 3

    Mixtures
    A mixture is a material made up of two or more different substances which are mixed but are not
    combined chemically.

    Separation
    Separation is the process of separating one or more components from a mixture. For example,
    distillation, sedimentation, filtration etc.

    Handpicking

    Handpicking
    Handpicking is a method of separation used to separate large-sized impurities like pieces of dirt,
    stone, and husk from wheat, rice or pulses.
    Threshing

    Threshing
    Threshing is the process of beating stalks to separate the grains from the harvested crop.

     It is done manually by farmers or by threshing machines.

    Winnowing

    Winnowing
     Method of separation used to separate heavier and lighter components of a mixture by
    wind or by blowing air.
     Normally, this is used to separate husk from grains.

    Sieving

    Sieving
    Sieving is a method of separation in which the mixture is passed through a filter or a sieve.
    NOTES CLASS 6 CHA 3

     The larger particles, usually the impurities, do not pass through the filter and hence
    collect on the sieve.
     The finer particles flow past the sieve and can be collected below.

    Filtration, Sedimentation and Decantation

    Filtration
    Filtration is the process of passing the mixture through a filter to remove the solid particles from
    the fluid components of the mixture.

     For instance, if we pass muddy water through a fine filter, we can notice that the mud
    gets filtered and the water passes through.

    Sedimentation
    When the heavier component in the mixture settles when water is added to it, the process is
    called sedimentation.

     This method is used in separating grains from dust and soil.

    Decantation
    Decantation is the process after sedimentation that involves removing the water, along with the
    impurities.

    Evaporation

    Condensation
    The process of conversion of water vapour into its liquid form due to contact with a cooler
    surface is called condensation.

     Example: Formation of water droplets on a metallic lid while boiling water.

    Evaporation
    The process of conversion of water into its vapour is called evaporation.

     The process of evaporation takes place continuously wherever water is present.


    NOTES CLASS 6 CHA 3

    Can Water Dissolve It All

    Solution
    A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances.

     In such a mixture, a solute is a substance dissolved in another substance, known as a


    solvent.

    Saturated solution
    A saturated solution is a chemical solution containing the maximum concentration of a solute
    dissolved in the solvent.

     For example, a saturated solution of salt in water is one in which no more salt can be
    dissolved.
     This added salt will just sediment down to the bottom of the vessel.

    Churning
    Churning is the process of shaking up cream or whole milk to make butter. Learn more about
