Questions and Answers

Match the following separation processes with their descriptions:

Filtration = Separates solid matter and fluid from a mixture using a filter which only the fluid can pass through Sedimentation = Separates particles from water according to their weight, with less dense particles rising and denser particles sinking Distillation = Separates the components of a liquid mixture through evaporation and condensation Magnetic Separation = Uses a magnet to separate magnetic substances from non-magnetic substances

Match the following processes with their descriptions:

Evaporation = Transforms a liquid into a gas/vapour using heat Sieving = Filters bigger particles from smaller ones by shaking a sieve made of a metal rim and net Crystallization = Involves atoms or molecules arranging into a well-defined, rigid crystal lattice to minimize their energetic state Chromatography = Dissolves mixtures and sorts them, like separating candies by color on a paper strip when water runs over it

Match the following separation equipment with their functions:

Separating Funnel = Used to separate immiscible liquids Filter = Separates solid matter and fluid from a mixture, allowing only the fluid to pass through Sieve = Heterogeneously separates mixtures by filtering bigger particles from smaller ones Magnet = Used to separate magnetic substances from non-magnetic substances

Match the following processes with their outcomes:

<p>Sedimentation = Particles gather at the water's surface or base when it is quiescent and can then be extracted from the water Distillation = Results in the separation of components of a liquid mixture through evaporation and condensation Evaporation = Transforms a liquid into a gas/vapour using heat Crystallization = Results in atoms or molecules arranging into a well-defined, rigid crystal lattice to minimize their energetic state</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Separation Processes

There are four categories of separation processes to be matched with their descriptions, equipment, outcomes, and primary principles.
The four categories include:
Separation processes to be matched with their descriptions
Separation equipment to be matched with their functions
Separation processes to be matched with their outcomes
Separation processes to be matched with their primary principles
