Study Notes
Separation Methods Overview
- Solid-liquid separation techniques aim to isolate components based on physical properties.
Sedimentation and Decantation
- Sedimentation: Heavy, insoluble solids settle at the bottom of a mixture due to gravity.
- Sediment: The solid that settles at the bottom of a beaker.
- Decantation: The clear liquid above the sediment (supernatant) is poured out carefully without disturbing the sediment.
Sublimation
- Principle: Separates sublimable solids from non-sublimable ones through heating.
- Process: Solid changes directly from a solid to gas; vapors deposit on funnel walls.
- Examples of Mixtures:
- Homogeneous: Ammonium chloride and salt.
- Heterogeneous: Ammonium chloride and sand, iodine crystals and sand.
Types of Mixtures
- Heterogeneous Components: Solid in solid or solid in liquid.
- Homogeneous Mixture Components: Uniformly distributed; e.g., vinegar and water.
Characteristics of Mixtures
- Compositions are variable and not fixed.
- Can be separated by physical methods like filtration or evaporation.
- Do not possess a definitive chemical formula.
- Retain individual properties of constituents and exhibit no specific melting/boiling points.
- No energy change occurs during formation.
Separation Techniques
-
Heterogeneous Mixtures:
- Sieving: Separates solids based on size using a sieve; e.g., bran from flour.
- Magnetic Separation: Attracts magnetic materials from non-magnetic ones; e.g., iron from sand.
- Sublimation: Heats mixture to collect sublimable solids; e.g., camphor from sand.
- Sedimentation and Decantation: Settling and pouring off liquids from solids.
- Filtration: Solid remains on filter paper while liquid passes through; e.g., chalk from water.
-
Homogeneous Mixtures:
- Evaporation: Liquid is vaporized, leaving the solid behind; e.g., salt from seawater.
Key Terms
- Residue: Solid left on filter paper after filtration.
- Filtrate: Clear liquid that passes through filter paper.
Equipment for Evaporation
- Uses an evaporating basin, gauze, tripod, and Bunsen burner to heat and separate solids from liquids.
