Study Notes
Methods of Separation
-
Iron Filings and Sulfur:
- Use a magnet to attract iron filings, effectively separating them from sulfur due to their magnetic properties.
-
Sand and Water:
- Filtration is the most appropriate method, where sand acts as an insoluble solid that gets trapped in the filter, allowing water to pass through.
-
Salt and Water:
- Evaporation is best for this mixture, as heating water causes it to evaporate, leaving solid salt behind.
-
Dissolved Solid from a Liquid:
- Filtration is suitable for separating a liquid from undissolved solids, while evaporating the solvent can remove the dissolved solid.
-
Heating and Cooling Process:
- Distillation is the process used to separate components of a liquid mixture based on differences in boiling points.
-
Separation Based on Attraction:
- Chromatography is effective for separating substances based on their different affinities (attractions) for a stationary phase and a mobile phase.
-
Insoluble Solid from a Liquid:
- Filtration is also effective for separating an insoluble solid from a liquid, using a filter paper to collect the solid while allowing the liquid to flow through.
-
Components Based on Boiling Points:
- Distillation is the technique used to separate components of a mixture depending on their differing boiling points, with vaporization and condensation processes.
