Separation of Mixtures

Separation of Mixtures • Mixtures, both homogeneous and heterogeneous, can be separated by physical changes.

Techniques used for separating mixtures • • • Separation by physical properties Filtration Distillation Crystallization Evaporation to dryness Chromatography

Separation by properties • Physical characteristics such as color, size, density, magnetism, etc can be used to separate mixtures. • Example: separating iron from a mixture. separating a layer of oil from water separating red marbles from blue marbles

Separation by filtration Heterogeneous mixtures composed of insoluble solids in liquids are easily separated by filtration. Equipment used during this process includes a funnel and filter paper. The liquid which passes through the filter paper is called the filtrate. Example: sand in water

Evaporation to dryness. • Homogeneous mixtures composed of dissolved solids in a solvent can be separated by boiling off the liquid. The solute remains in the evaporating dish. • Equipment required involves a hot plate and evaporating dish. • Example: salt dissolved in water

Distillation • Distillation is used to separate a solution of two liquids. It is based on differences in the boiling points of the two substances involved. • When the solution is heated, the substance with the lowest boiling point boils and changes to a vapor. The vapor condenses as it passes through the condenser and is collected. • Example: separating water from the syrup in a coke. separating alcohol from water

Distillation

Crystallization • A solution containing a dissolved solute can also be separated using crystallization. • When the solution contains as much of the dissolved substance as possible, the addition of even a tiny amount can cause the dissolved substance to come out of solution and collect on any available surface. • Example: the making of rock candy from a sugar solution.

Crystallization

Chromatography • Chromatography is a technique that separates two liquid components of mixture from each other based on the ability of each substance to travel up the surface of another material (called the stationary phase). • The stationary phase is often a solid such as the chromatography paper. • Components with the strongest attraction for the paper travel slower. • Example: separating dyes in food coloring
