Answer 0

Filtration
Evaporation

Chromotagraphy

Question 1

Mixture

Answer 1

Consists of two or more substances mingled together but not chemically combined e.g. Sand and water

Question 2

Filtration

Answer 2

Used to separate small insoluble solids (do not dissolve in liquid) from a liquid by using filter paper and a funnel to trap the solids

Question 3

Evaporation

Answer 3

Used to separate soluble solids dissolves in liquids from a solution by heating the liquid until it evaporates off to leave the solids e.g salt and water

Question 4

Answer 4

Used to separate two liquids with different boiling points such as alcohol (boils at 78)and water ( boils at 100) also used to separate a soluble solid from a liquid e.g seawater to give a pure sample of each

Question 5
