Seperating mixtures
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does decanting do and explain the process | Decanting seperates insoluble solids from a liquid,dense insoluble particles settle at the bottom,the top liquid layer can be poured off without disturbing the sediment layer |
| What is filtration | A method for seperating insoluble solids from a liquid,the smaller particles can pass through the holes in the filter paper and the larger particles cannotass through and remain in the filter paper |
| How is evaporation used to separate mixtures | Evaporation is used to separate soluble solids from a liquid,when a solution is heated,the liquid solvent evaporates as a gas and the solid solute remains as residue or crystals in the container. |
| What is distillation | Distillation seperates liquids (or soluble solids from a liquid) by their boiling points |
| What is chromatography | The process of seperating different substances in a mixture based on the rate at which they travel through an absorbent material. |
| What is the liquid collected in a beaker called during distillation | The distillate |
| What does immiscible mean | Immiscible liquids do not mix or blend together |
